Split Screen => Dual Monitors (AHK v2)
By Overkill
Split the characters between two monitors instead of split screening on one. Use dual monitors instead of a split screen on one.

Disabling split screen with AHK (Auto Hot Key) for dual monitors
The Main Part
I have 1920x1080 (Full HD) monitors, so I have adjusted the numbers for my setup. Consider using the following numbers (2560, 1440; 5120, 1440) for the 2K resolution and the appropriate numbers for the 4K resolution as well.

Additionally, this guide uses the latest version of AHK - v2. Version 1 is deprecated, and I have modified the code to be compatible with the newer version.

The steps are almost the same:
  1. Download AHK v2[www.autohotkey.com]
  2. Set the following settings for the game:
    -ResX=3840 -ResY=1080 (or any other, like 5120 1440 for 2k)
  3. Open AHK and start creating a new script:

  4. Name it and create it:

  5. Paste the following code into the created script using any of the editors:
    #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 MoveWindow_Main(width, height) { WinMove 0, 0, width, height, 'A' ToolTip 'Split', width, height Sleep 500 ToolTip return } F9:: { MoveWindow_Main(1920, 1080) return } F10:: { MoveWindow_Main(3840, 1080) return }
  6. Start using the script by running it and the game. Use F9 for reverting changes to one monitor (needed for cutscenes etc), and F10 for splitting between two monitors.

You can insert any of the keys you want, instead of F9/F10 (my variant). For example, noirekid is using the numpads:
Numpad1:: { MoveWindow_Main(1920, 1080) return } Numpad2:: { MoveWindow_Main(3840, 1080) return }
You can find the full list of keys here: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/KeyList.htm

Take a look at the screenshots below to see what is the point of this:





Enjoy!

If each of you is playing on one monitor, I am unsure that it will work that way. This guide helps to use dual screen instead of split screening when playing locally on one PC with two monitors. Or did I understand you wrong

I have it working for my setup (1920x1080), maybe you have different resolutions (2k/4k) and need to adjust the numbers accordingly? Would be cool to have a bit more info on that
