Not compatible with Multiplicty?

February 28, 2008 2:43:14 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
If I pause game (open menu) then mouse to the other computer for more than 10 seconds or so then when I mouse back Sins refuses to recognize clicks or keyboard input. It still renders the mouse and I can alt-tab out of the game and use other software just fine, but Sins is ruined from that point forward.

I have to force the application to close then reload from scratch to get the mouse & keyboard working again.

I'd have thought that 2 stardock programs would be compatible...

Great news!

1.03 still doesn't work with Multiplicity. If I move control to the 2nd system for too long then none of the clicks work when I move control back to the Sins system. Hurray!

i have the same problem with multiplicity. i got lucky last time, i did not pause the game, and i waited for it to autosave and then just reloaded that.

I have run into this but I am not sure of the cause.  I don't think it's related to Multiplicity as much as it is that the game doesn't like to be scrolled off the edge or something.

I'm not sure that's the case, although I can't rule anything out. I'm not exactly going out of my way to repeat it since I'm trying to actually play the game... not make it unplayable. On games that scroll I always pause by opening the menu (or whatever else works to freeze the side to side motion).

As a side note: I hardly ever scroll this style game using edge of screen mouse shenanigans. Take a FPS though (which I also play a lot) and my mouse should technically be the equivalent of 10 monitors over because I'm turning like a maniac... but Multiplicity handles it fine.

I use a hotkey to transfer between screens and mine still did it.
