Does anyone else have an issue where it runs perfectly when on one screen but when you activate the translite on another monitor it lags unbelievably?

I get that problem also

Make sure your backglass monitor is on the same video adapter as your playfield, don't use the onboard video.

Hi. Please post this on "bug report" section. This is a "common" problem and there can be a lot of reasons:

- Don't use two video cards for the moment

- Check your screens refresh rate => should be the same, otherwise, disable "vsync"

- Put down some options because this means two renders => which video adapter do you have?

I have the two screens on the same graphics card and turnes v sync off but it just chugs. After playing around the setting force full screen all seems to just kill it, any ideas? It runs no problem without it on

@ nabby

have you tried to set the slider for; Pixel lights count. to low or off?
try that and see if it makes any difference.

Thanks for the advice jorro666! I tried that but it didn't make a difference. Not sure if this is important but when I bring up the debug fps option it's running at 50-55 fps. I'm not an expert but that should be pretty smooth although it's super laggy, everything from the visuals to the flipper reaction. Could this just be a "fake full screen all" bug?

Maybe. This is experimental as Unity is not made for multiscreen rendering: we kind of "hacked" the rendering area.

The feedback we have is that it is really harware related... If we can use B2S for future release, that should enhance performances.

Maybe Unity5 will also fix it.

 

As reference, here is my screen setup, all plugged on a NVidia Geforce GTX 680:

1) iiyama, 27'' in Full HD, 59 Hz

2) AOC, 23.5'' FULL HD, 59Hz

3) Rift Development Kit HMD

4) 15'' Packard Bell, 1024x768, 60Hz

 

1, 2 and 3 are set to one screen using "clone" in NVidia panel, 4 is on the right.

 

 Screen relative positions is also important: the "enclosing" area must be as small as possible..

Will the new release hopefully fix this problem?

[PinballShawn]

Sounds like the video is underpowered. I'm running 3 hd screens at 60hz off of one GTX 660. I consider that underpowered, but I don't get choppiness or lag.

I have a 660 as well. When I play multiple monitor I still get 60 fps, it's just slow to respond and it doesn't appear to be 60

Wild guess,  try to lower the prerendered frames to one in the per app settings of your gpu driver. If you get relatively high frames but it's still laggy that could help a bit.
