cTrader not rendering unless connected to a monitor
02 Jun 2023, 12:15

Hi,

After the new updates to cTrader it has completely stopped rendering unless the windows desktop on which it is running is directly connected to a monitor. I have multiple desktops and only one monitor for emergency to check. I access my multiple desktop computers using VNC solutions like Teamviewer or Google Desktop Sharing. Lately after some update cTrader just shows a black screen unless that particular desktop computer is connected to the monitor making it impossible to use it remotely. Once I go physically to the desktop machine and connect it to the monitor the remote session starts rendering cTrader normally.

 

This needs to be logged as a bug, unless this is solved I will be forced to buy a monitor for each and every desktop computer I have in order to access the computer remotely to use cTrader.

 

Please let me know how I can log this as a bug.

 

Thanks,

Warm Regards.

Seems like this is a known issue -

 

The suggested way to deal with this is by somehow fooling the OS to believe it is connected to the monitor so that the Graphic cards continues to render.

You can try nomachine for remote desktop.

If nomachine does not work, them you may try to buy a HDMI virtual display, search it in alibaba.
