I have found two workarounds, both of which are sort of annoying:ġ. The video still freezes once I open a fullscreen game.

But none of those options seem to change anything. I googled this issue and found many suggestions of changing the video overlay settings and the output in VLC's video options, like changing it to OpenGL or DirectX etc. Closing/alt-tabbing out of the game causes the video to begin playing again. I usually use VLC to play my videos.Įxactly what happen is, the game opens (monitor 1) and the video I am playing (monitor 2) is stuck on the frame it was showing when the game opened. The sound continues to play but the screen stays the same.

When I play fullscreen games (Vindictus, Skyrim, Mass Effect 1+2, etc.) on my main monitor (monitor 1) any video I have playing on monitor 2 (using an application, not a browser) freezes. This is not a huge issue, just something I am wondering about.
