Hey Guys,

I just bought a second monitor and when I hook it up and start ArmA, my game lags bad. I don't think its my system, as it is fairly powerful. Can someone make a recommendation on how to fix this?

Also, can someone tell me how I can run two programs and not have one minimize when I click on the other monitor.

I'm using two monitors aswell and my system isnt very powerful either. DayZ plays fine but it does not support Fixed Windowed mode that enables you to click over to the other monitor without minimizing the game client. So i generally just have the map on the second screen and when i need to check something i alt tab or if i really cant be arsed i start dayz with steam overlay so i can use the build in web brower.

No idea why it would lag for you using two monitors mate :(

But generally for me if i have a problem hardware or software related there is someone on the planet that has the same issues, try searching if anyone has the same problem with that brand of monitor or with the type of windows, or if its graphics card related etc. Try putting the monitors in the same graphics card, either in one or the other or one in both, could be that.

Good luck in any case, i know how annoying these things can be.
