Unfortunately, these are problems with Unity, the engine that the game is built with. There's nothing we can really do about these till they get their bugs fixed. It's annoying for us too. I don't know about Keith, but I know I have a multi-mon setup, and so does Chris.

Yeah, it's annoying as heck to me as well. When AI War was on its own custom engine, I had it working like you'd want. Even snapping the cursor to the window and such. I use dual monitors also. But sadly, this is one of those few areas the Unity engine (which we use for all our games now) is really lacking.

Not even some cheesy VBS script run on launch? :)

We could make native code calls, sure -- but I choose not to, because that gets into all sorts of platform-specific bugs.
