Description

I'm using two monitors positioned side-by-side: first is the original laptop screen, the second is an external big screen. The game started by default is in full screen and it is stretched accross both monitors. Most of the messages appear in the middle of the total area, so part of the text is on the left monitor, part is on the right.

1) I could not find any way to shift the message to one side and read, which could be a work-around.

2) I did not manage to actually play the game, so I cannot confirm that during the gameplay the map is stretched on both monitors. But I guess it may be stretched, which may be inconvenient to control.

Linux Mint 14, Mate desktop, NVidia card. Game verstion 0.0.11-1 (the default version in the Mint-14 distribution).

P.S. I quickly searched through reported bugs but did not find a duplicate of this bug, so this bug may still exist in the current version.

This is almost an exact duplicate of #1790 in fact :) For a workaround, try starting the game in windowed mode instead of fullscreen (as described here), or you can also switch to windowed mode with the Alt+Enter hotkey. Then you could play it on one monitor.
