Patch 1.7.568

Unfortunately not, the monitor only has a VGA slot a few USB.

Hello hello! I have been struggling with this first-world problem for a while now, and I'm running out of ideas on how to solve it. I play on a laptop, linked to a pretty old monitor with a VGA cable. In a perfect world, I would like to be able to have my the game fullscreen on display 2 (the monitor), while I can actively use display 1 (the laptop) when I'm frozen without having to reduce the game in the task bar every time. However, the monitor is quite heavily flickering when I do that, which comes with fairly important lag and makes it difficult to really do anything. My config (I'm not sure what to list here, I never do that, please tell me if I need to add something else): Laptop ("display 1"): Toshiba Satellite L850-1XW OS: Windows 10 Home x64 Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series Processor: Inter Core I7-3630QM Resolution: 1366 x 768 Refresh rate: 60 Hz Monitor ("display 2"): LEN L2230xwA Resolution: 1920 x 1080 Refresh rate: 60 Hz Drivers for my graphics card and for the monitor are up to date, and the computer is fully updated from Windows Update. I am talking about CoD4 here, which runs on the same resolution as the screen it is on (ie. 1920 x 1080, 60 Hz when played on display 2). In order to use the monitor (display 2) as I wish, I would need the game to run as windowed borderless, which is not naturally possible on CoD4 (unless I missed something). So I run the game windowed (/r_fullscreen 0), and I use the tool Fullscreenizer to have it appear seemingly borderless. But then comes the flickering. By flickering I mean black lines that appear regularly, along with some pretty heavy lag. Sometimes I can see the desktop through the flickering. In the "Display" settings on Windows, in "Multiple displays" I pick "Extend these displays", and then make Display 2 my main display. But then comes the flickering. Please note that the screen flickers whether I have the game on natural fullscreen (/r_fullscreen 1) or windowed (/r_fullscreen 0, regardless of Fullscreenizer being activated or not). HOWEVER, it does NOT flicker when in "Display" I pick "Show only on display 2". Then display 1 goes black as planned, and the game on display 2 runs smoothly, with only my usual lag. That's how I ended up playing so far. Note also that display 2 only flickers when I am running the game. Everything works fine and without flickering when I am just doing stuff on the computer without running the game, even with extended displays. So, my question. Does anyone know if there is anything to do to stop that flickering while having both screens active? I have been all over the Internet, and haven't found a solution so far. Displays 1 and 2 don't have the same resolution (1366 x 768 // 1920 x 1080), I am wondering if the problem may come from that, but there is no way I can use 1366 x 768 on my monitor. But I really don't know much about all of that, so I was hoping someone may have an idea Thank you! ?

Sweet! Now there should be less lag on the server too!

Your daily dose of fucked up brilliance.

As long as you keep knifing people (not me!) on the FT1 server I'm happy!

Hey Zig, always a pleasure playing with (or against!) you on the FT1 server, I like your gaming style! See you there soon

Nice! You seriously kicked my butt yesterday when the video was taken, I remember that vividly. Stopping power on the Bomb Squad kit, do you find that to make a big difference? I'm genuinely curious, I would have assumed that the sheer power of that shotgun would be enough in itself. But I never played shotgun, so this is a newbie asking

Cannot get enough of it.

That one I've heard sung many times in only a couple of weeks, I guess a lot of people need help! This one often comes to mind, because of circumstances and because of that frickin so roni - wink wink @merder

Thank you Sally & Josh! Sorry @Darth Revan my Internet crashed yesterday when I was updating TeamSpeak, you were gone by the time I came back. This is not over, we shall meet again!

Thank you everyone! @ShinyAbsol I'm with you, however Ice does have a tendency to knife me as well, so I'll let you do the talking while I keep a reasonable distance.

Oh wow! Well it was a short time playing together then, but I enjoyed every bit of it. Except when you kill me from 130 yards by a headshot with a RPD mid-jump and with your eyes closed. So most of the time. But apart from that, yeah. Hope things work out with the entrance to Japan! Which country are you flying from?

Good evening XI and everyone! I've been playing quite a bit lately on the CoD4 Freeze 1 server, and thought I'd introduce myself. Thomas, 29 years old, French living in Sweden. In a past life I was admin for the Freeze Tag clan {ESC}, then I stopped playing around 2012/2013, and just came back now. Be advised that I am an easy target for knifes, but getting knifed makes me sad, so I would appreciate you people knifing Darth_Revan instead, as a retribution for all the times he did that to me. See you guys around! Mik
