(at least on my computer)
The game does not keep the mouse pointer on the primary monitor, it makes the game almost impossible to play for users with multiple monitors. In most (99%) full screen games your mouse pointer cannot leave the current monitor while you are playing the game, this keeps you from accidentally switching back to your desktop. I know it' won't affect but 1 in a thousand customers, but it's like one line of code to fix and we would really appreciate it : )

You are not the only one -- I have passed this problem on to the developers. When I am in game, I set screen edge detection off and use the arrow keys to move around. That helps out a lot. It is playable -- but in the heat of battle, accidentally clicking on the secondary monitor minimizes the game -- quite disconcerting. So lately, I disable the second monitor when playing and then re-enable when finished.

BTW -- This occurs with both ATi and Nvidia gpus.

PowerStrip can do this automaticaly at a per program setting.

Thanks. Both Nvidia and ATi CP allow profiles to do this too ... So no real need for PowerStrip for this purpose.

So, what, do they now? Nice to hear. In fact, I'm using the Omega Mod drivers, so I can't tell...
