Change monitor om sims
Hey, I have a tricky situation here, my sister is playing beat saber with my vr and my girlfriend is playing Sims on my computer, I want to change the screen that Sims appears on so that my girlfrien...
@SaltyGaben Are you trying to use the VR and play Sim 4 at the same time? This leads to a lot of questions. Are you able to drag the game to the secondary monitor? The issue here is these Sims games (both 3 and 4) tend to not work well with dual monitors. Second running VR and a 3D graphical game at the same time I would think might be a bit taxing for even the best of consumer computers. When I had my HTC Vive setup I used a higher end system just for the VR. Really need a detail inventory of your equipment and how it is hooked up to start analyzing your requirements. This may be something to discuss with a local guru.
yes I'm using the vr and playing sims4 at the same time and that's fine, and I have two monitors hooked up and I want Sims 4 on the second screen but in fullscreen, everything works it's just that I want to see both games at the same times
@SaltyGaben Like I pointed out - the Sims (3 and 4) sometimes (a lot of times) have issues with a dual monitor configuration. This may be because the game does some post driver manipulation of the video (I'm not sure about this but the games do look at the video cards and ranks them). What you are trying to do is very unusual (I have never used VR and played a 3D graphical game on the same computer at the same time and it may be (probably) something in your setup that may be causing issues (not sure). To properly help you I would have to know all your hardware and how it is connected to even start scratching my head. The Sims games 3D graphics can get very demanding depending on what packs you are running. Did you try running the VR on the secondary monitor?
there are no issues with the game, I was just wondering if I could switch the Sims 4 game from my primary Screen to my secondary, as I can't control where the vr is showed I can only switch Sims 4 but I can't see an option for that in the game.
