Are there any games that support a utility screen on a multi monitor set up? The only game that I could find so far is the battle screen on battlefield 4.

It's crazy how few games support this feature compared to how easy it would be to implement.

im sure its quite difficult and thats why no games support it. if it was easy then everyone would do it.

Are you talking about games that use a second monitor for something other than spanning the resolution? I've heard Supreme Commander used second monitors to house a tactical map and such. I think Artemis or some other space faring game has something like this as well.

 

I don't think it's an issue of implementation. I'm sure the drivers or API exposes the monitors you have to games so they can take over them. I think it's more of a design issue. You have to design the UI and UX for those setups. I'm sure it's already a headache for web developers to do responsive UI in a manner that works well for everything rather than for some things.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted
