Running over 2 screens like Supreme Commander

Is there a way that we can run PA over 2 screens like we could on games such as SC? If not is there scope to enable this feature in the future?

Thanks

It has been considered but its not a priority... think there may be some performance issues doing it that way and also unfair advantage issues?

The game seems to handle the PIP (picture in picture) option well enough but i do understand the comment about the unfair advantage, although you can pick up a second monitor for next to nothing these days.....

You can mod it, there is a broken mod called nscreen I build that does it, but I am too busy to work on it and the perfroommance requirements are quite heavy.

A broken mod? Does this mean i cannot use it? Link me up if you think it is worth it...

Thanks

It's not ready to use out of the box currently. Basically the part that makes the UI stay on a screen is very likely to not work and break all your game UI instead.
Fixing it probably is not more than a few hours of work though, if a modder wants to do it...

Thank you. Ill pass until it works as it should i think . But thank you

I cannot help but feel this would be a great feature as i could keep an eye on 2 different planets at the same time on 2 screens.

This is something the developers want to do, but it has a low priority. The devs prefer to improve the current game for everybody with new features than to add a bonus functionality for a small percentage of the playerbase. So multiscreen functionality will be coming, but only after other high priority stuff has been finished.

Another limiting factor would be the frame rate, which means that the game might need another big optimisation pass before running a second screen would work smoothly. You can already see a reasonable FPS drop when you open the PIP window and that is for that small window. Imagine having to render all those pixels for full screen, which is like 10x as many pixels as the PIP window

It would be nice to have the choice dont you think?

Ofcourse, but I prefer ingame additions than engine additions since I only have one screen atm And since they are a small company, they also have to choose where to put their resources

We want to do it in the future, but it is actually a large amount of work to do it cleanly. Lower priority currently
