Fake Window Appearing on the Wrong Monitor

December 10, 2025

Multiple Monitor / Fake Window Issue

If you use multiple monitors (e.g., a 3-monitor setup or a Parsec virtual monitor), you may notice that the fake game window or overlay sometimes appears on the wrong screen. This can cause issues when alt-tabbing or moving your mouse between displays.


The Issue

When injecting, the cheat creates a virtual or “fake” window to manage rendering and scaling.

On setups with multiple or virtual monitors, Windows may assign that window to a random display—usually the last active one.


The Fix

1. Open Display Settings

  • Right-click your desktop → Display settings

2. Identify Your Screens

  • Click Identify to see which numbers correspond to your monitors.

3. Reposition the Fake Window

  • Click and drag the purple (or numbered) display boxes to rearrange them.
  • Place the fake or Parsec monitor wherever it’s most convenient (e.g., far right or left).

4. Apply the Changes

  • Press Apply to confirm.
  • You can now alt-tab normally without your mouse getting “stuck” or needing to cross all screens.

Tip

If you’re using Parsec, make sure your virtual monitor is enabled before launching the game or loader. This helps Windows remember the correct layout each time.
