dual monitor

This game (like the supreme commander engine it is built on)  does not handle dual monitors well.  Basically when I go to scroll, my mouse leaves the game window and goes onto the second monitor without scrolling.  Anybody have a workaround for this other than disabling the second monitor every time I play?

I searched around google for others having this problem, but found no solutions.  Than I found this thing:

Pretty easy to setup, the demigod executable is in some path like this:

 

program files/stardock games/demigod/bin/demigod.exe

 

enjoy, oh also stardock if you are listening please just add this obvious fix to the game, surely your developers are using dual monitors to program (I use 3 when I do)

There has been quite a bit of discussion on this and I'm pretty sure future versions would have proper cursor locking.  Thanks for posting the link though.. I plan on checking it out.  I wasn't impressed with other suggested resources such as WMC (Windows Mouse Capture).

The only thing it really effects is edge screen scrolling.  I simply changed my playing tactic and rely on hitting 'T' (Character Tracking) to handle the camera more.  When I need to move manually ASDW and QE to rotate.  Also don't forget about holding down the spacebar to do free camera movement.

UPDATE: Cursor Lock works great!  Thanks again.

=D

Oddly enough I never thought about it.  I have my browser and chat client on monitor 2 and have DG *almost* maximized on monitor 1.
