No Fields on StarCraft II Login Screen (Mac) Account information fields are missing when logging in to StarCraft II on Mac machines. Remastered plays with the other versions of StarCraft as well, which means that there is a huge existing player base that can all connect together for online battles. My personal favorite parts of the online multiplayer are the custom games found in the 'use map settings' filter. I have Windows 10 and my mouse pointer speed in the Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties window is set to 6/11 to give me a 1:1 ratio between the output of my mouse software and the pointer in the Windows OS. When I open Starcraft Remastered either fullscreen, windowed fullscreen or just windowed, my mouse pointer speed setting is instantly changed to 8/11 regardless of what settings I.
1. Introduction
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a terrific game. It's almost perfect except for a single flaw: it does not support multiple displays because Blizzard decided that 'multi-monitor support for StarCraft II may be too great of a tactical advantage over other players without more than one monitor'. Thus, the game occupies only a single screen on dual-monitor stations, whereas the second monitor stays free and may be used for a parallel web-surfing, chatting or even working.
If you have dual, triple or more monitors and want a better control on StarCraft 2 - we are ready to help you: new features added in the version 2.3 of Actual Multiple Monitors are intended to make playing StarCraft 2 more comfortable in a multiple displays environment.

2. How to Let the Mouse Go Out of the StarCraft 2 Window and Prohibit StarCraft 2 Minimizing When Clicking Outside Its Window
The 'Fullscreen' display mode provides the fastest video output and the smoothest game experience. However, in a multi-monitor environment some issues arise:
- while active, StarCraft 2 locks the mouse within its host screen, so that you are unable to operate windows on other screens
- if you click Alt-Tab trying to switch to another window - the game will minimize automatically, thus blocking the ability to observe its state in background
- the minimization/restoration of the fullscreen StarCraft 2 is time-consuming, as the game is resource-intensive and it should release the used resources when it becomes inactive and renew them upon re-activation
Playing StarCraft 2 fullscreen on dual monitors
To resolve all these issues, you just need to do the following:
- launch Actual Multiple Monitors
- launch StarCraft 2
- press the Ignore deactivation hotkey (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-I by default)
After that, you will be able to easily drag the mouse out of the StarCraft 2 window and work with windows on other monitors. This also prevents the StarCraft 2 minimization when you activate another window.
To restore the usual functioning of the fullscreen StarCraft 2, press the Ignore deactivation hotkey again when StarCraft 2 is active.

3. How to Launch StarCraft 2 on External Monitor, Panel or TV
Another issue of the fullscreen mode is that StarCraft 2 runs it on a primary monitor only. Thus, if you run it on a notebook with a large external screen attached - there is no general way to force StarCraft 2 run on that screen. One solution is to switch the primary monitor from notebook's internal display to external screen. You can make it easily via Actual Multiple Monitors system tray context menu:
How to launch StarCraft 2 on external monitor, panel or TV:
Switch the primary display via Actual Multiple Monitors context menu
However, on some laptops you cannot make primary any monitor other than the internal screen. In such case, you should switch the StarCraft 2 display mode from 'Fullscreen' to 'Windowed (Fullscreen)'.
StarCraft 2 Options: Switching display mode from 'Fullscreen' to 'Windowed (Fullscreen)'
Then, you can move this window to the external display using the Move to Next Monitor hotkey (Win-/ by default). If your external screen has the different resolution - the StarCraft 2 fullscreen window will be adjusted automatically to fit this resolution.

4. Conclusion
Hope the advices above will make your dual- or multi-monitor StarCraft 2 experience more convenient and exciting. You may question about any other subjects related to running StarCraft 2 along with Actual Multiple Monitors in the Technical Support forum section or post your ideas in the Tips and Tricks forum section.

StarCraft Remastered not starting
Many of the problems with games launching happen because of improper installation. Check, if there was any error during installation, try deleting the game and run the installer again, but before install don't forget to disable antivirus – it may often mistakenly delete files during installation process. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with a game should contain only Latin characters and numbers.
You also have to check whether there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can also try to run the game as an administrator in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows.
StarCraft Remastered crashes. Low FPS. Friezes. Hangs
Your first solution to this problem install new drivers for a video card. This action can drastically rise game FPS. Also, check the CPU and memory utilization in the Task Manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If before starting the game you can see that some process consumes too many resources - turn off the program or simply remove this process from Task Manager.
Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First – turn off anti-aliasing and try to lower the setting, responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and switching them off will greatly enhance the performance, and not greatly affect the quality of the picture.
StarCraft Remastered crashes to the desktop
If StarCraft Remastered often crashes to the desktop, try to reduce quality of the graphics. It is possible that your PC just does not have enough performance and the game may not work correctly. Also, it is worth to check out for updates - most of today's games have the automatic patches installation system on startup if internet connection is available. Check to see whether this option is turned off in the settings and switch it on if necessary.
Black of black screen in the StarCraft Remastered
The most common issue with black screen is a problem with your GPU. Check to see if your video card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of a lack of CPU performance.
If everything is fine with your hardware and it satisfies the minimum requirements, try to switch to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game screen.
StarCraft Remastered is not installed. Installation hangs
First of all, check that you have enough space on the HDD for installation. Remember that to work properly installer requires the declared volume of space, plus 1-2 GB of additional free space on the system drive. In general, remember this rule – you must always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space on your system drive (usually it's disk C) for temporary files. Otherwise, the games and the other software may not work correctly or even refuse to start.
Problems with the installation may also be due to the lack of an internet connection or it's instability. Also, do not forget to stop the antivirus for the time game installation – sometimes it interferes with the correct file copy, or delete files by mistake, mistakenly believing they are viruses.
Saves not working in StarCraft Remastered
By analogy with the previous solution, check for free space on HDD - both on where the game is installed, and the system drive. Often your saves are stored in a folder of documents, which is separate from the game itself.
Controls not working in StarCraft Remastered
Sometimes the controls in game do not work because of the simultaneous connection of multiple input devices. Try disabling gamepad, or, if for some reason, you have two connected keyboards or mouses, leave only one pair of devices. If your gamepad does not work, remember - the games usually officially support only native Xbox controllers. If your controller is defined in system differently - try using software that emulates the Xbox gamepad (eg, x360ce - step by step manual can be found here).
No sound in StarCraft Remastered
Check if the sound works in other programs. Then check to see if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game, and whether there is correct audio playback device selected, which is connected your speakers or headset. After this check volumes in system mixer, it can also be turned off there.
If you are using an external audio card - check for new drivers at the manufacturer's website.
