Instant Swapping + standard Window Layouts fixed!

[Apps]

That's the definition of non-Instant swap. This should not happen with build 5509 and Instant Swap enabled. Make sure the game is set to windowed mode?

The splash screen only shows if you are in full screen mode, so I believe that is why he is seeing it as well Lax.

Hrmmm. Well then. I know I am using the 5509 build. And I ran the window wizard. Perhaps I didnt check the "instant swap" option or something. I'll check it out this evening and report back. Thanks for the reply... both of you.

Make sure in game you are running the same resolution on both clients and you are running in windowed fullscreen or just windowed.

Windowed will leave your task bar up, windowed fullscreen will simulate actual fullscreen but it is windowed.

Ok, well, I checked. Both games are set to "Windowed" mode in the games graphics settings. I re-ran the window layout wizard, and then again, just to be certain. When I click on display 2... and the windows swap on the click... I get the 3-4 seconds of the games splash ui reload window.

The layout I chose is

This Window Layout features a full screen-ish main window on \\.\DISPLAY1 and the rest on \\.\DISPLAY2. Swapping enabled. Does not include a home for every window. All home regions have the same aspect ratio as the main region. Leaves space for the Windows taskbar.

Im going to delete ALL window layouts and try again..


ARRRGH! ok, this is pissin me off now. Ive deleted all window layouts. Went back to the single display with two instances overlapping one another, and avoiding the taskbar. I can ALT+TAB and the swap is instant, with no ui reload splash... BUT... Nowwww, the dam second instance of swtor isnt avoiding the taskbar, but the first one is!! So now, all my video regions, and repeater regions are all out of sync from another, because the two instances of swtor arent the same resolution layout...

Honestly, i wish Id just not have messed with it. It was working fine, and now, its not useful at all.

You can fix this by manually editing the size of the regions in your window layout.

Alright, i figured it out. On the main menu, I had "Use Instant window swapping (synchronizes game resolutions) checked. Once I unchecked it, save, and exported... im working business as usual.

I just dont understand why the two display, window swap wouldnt work, with a mouse click.

Inner Space build 5510 fixes another issue with SWTOR resolutions. Apps, you may have been running into this issue. This build could potentially fix it. (If swapping is not Instant -- shows loading screen -- and you have the Instant Swapping box checked, it is a bug.)

Copy that. I'll check it out when I get home.

Sorry to necro; but I just now got around to trying to get swapping to work. [I've been boxing this whole time with static window positions; eyefinity 6 = i can see all 4 windows large enough to deal, so no big] well; was experimenting with trying to get swapping to work...the only time swapping works is if I use a layout that is stacked.... [This includes generating a 'standard window layout', that doesn't work either...] Any ideas? [Tried per slot hotkeys, the built in 'next/previous' hotkeys, and video FX mouseover, none work except in stacked mode.]
