When the game starts, it starts maximized over both screens with an introductory movie, followed by big black nothing as the progress indicator was invisible as my right screen is smaller. In the following menu the exit game option was invisible due to that same problem. It seems the game doesn't use the available information from Xinerama and instead of maximizing on the main screen it maximizes over all. Pressing Alt+Enter makes the game pop-back to windowed mode thankfully.

In the menu there is a massive lag. In the full screen over 2 monitors it can take up to 3 whole seconds before the option gets highlighted, in windowed mode up to 1 second. The animation in the background goes smooth though.

I advise you to contact the game developers and have them look at this.

See #1460 for the menu lag issues, should be fixed in the next update.
