Key points

The OS X and Linux versions of the game do not have a launcher, making certain features hard to configure.

Online multiplayer in DRM-free versions has stopped working on May 31, 2014 due to GameSpy services being shut down.

The Linux version has game breaking bugs and lacks certain features.

Full Screen Split-Screen With Dual Monitors

AMD Eyefinity Enable Eyefinity mode using the two monitors you want to use. Run Dungeon Defenders and set the resolution (via the launcher options menu) to the resolution of the Eyefinity monitor you have created (E.g. 3840x1080). In-game, set the split-screen mode to Vertical.  Nvidia Surround Enable Nvidia Surround mode using the two monitors you want to use. Run Dungeon Defenders and set the resolution (via the launcher options menu) to the resolution of the Surround monitor you have created (E.g. 3840x1080). In-game, set the split-screen mode to Vertical. Notes Note that in both cases the menu will be in between the two monitors - This can be difficult to see.
