Hi,

I think this is a superb program. I'ts proved the best solution for letting me mirror my display onto my LCD TV. Trouble is, if i want to play a game through my tv, the mirror feature seems to cause all kinds of flickering, freezes, no display. etc.. Also, some games require you to cycle through resolutions.. if the tv doesnt support the res the whole thing crashes.. does anybody know a work around. Thanks

Unfortunately UltraMon mirroring usually won't work with games, the problem is that mirroring of applications which use hardware-accelerated 3D graphics isn't supported.

You could disable 3D acceleration under Mirroring > Settings > Options, but most games won't run with 3D acceleration disabled, and even if the game would run, performance would most likely be too bad to be usable.

Have you tried setting the TV as the primary monitor when you want to play a game? This way the game would run directly on the TV, and you wouldn't need to use mirroring.
