PandaIsland Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I played FM on a single monitor, my setup was two pcs, two monitors due to working at home. Recently i switched to 1 pc over two monitors. FM doesnt support duel monitor, i know sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt not sure what triggers it like having two games loaded on duel monitor or what This has been asked a lot user called Amahzing asked 7 years ago on reddit mackayy4 asked 5 years ago djuuuuu asked 2 years ago thetruth204 asked 10 years ago ross ingersoll asked 5 years ago thegreatduv asked 3 years ago zeo on fmscout asked 8 years ago twiggy asked 3 years ago on steam Most of the time you say there is not enough people on duel monitor but we have been asking for it for almost 10 years. You cant tell me that not enough people have duel monitor in 2021 with all the streaming and video making and duel productivity that goes on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko1989 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Sorry, just curious, for what exactly we would use dual monitors in fm? I can't think of any other situation than using it in match for example, you put stats on one monitor and pitch on other monitor for example. And you say sometimes it works and sometimes it does not work, so there is already some support for dual monitors? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko1989 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hmm, I play FM that way for more than 10 years now. I watch youtube or work something like coding on one monitor while fm is on another monitor, everything works fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try 2 games at the same time in 2 days when I get home and will let ypu know how it works Edited February 1, 2022 by Marko1989 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Jack Sarahs Posted February 1, 2022 SI Staff Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm not sure specifically what you're asking for here. For a feature request please be as specific as possible. I previously used a dual monitor system playing Football Manager while doing various other things on my second monitor with no issues on a PC that was built to handle such a workload.

webeto Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Thats not an issue with FM mate, it's a resource issue (memory, possibly CPU too). Playing 2 x games at once is a real drain on resources. Memory intensive games like Minecraft and FM dont tend to go well together at the same time, unless you have a ton of spare resources. For example I play FM and Escapists and that works ok, but Escapists isn't too bad. For info i have 16GB RAM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

webeto Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 My advice would be to test both monitors again, get it back to the point where it starts to freeze, then check your resources All i can say is that ive been doing what you are trying to do and it works fine, so the capability is not an issue - you just need some more evidence to find out why it is happening 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done some more complicated test and have posted it on a pc support fourm to see if its a problem with my setup rather than the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
