[RESOLVED] Retrobat crashes with Second monitor hdmi

Hello, thanks for help
I explain my problem, i have a laptop running retrobat v4.0.2 and is running perfect.

but when i plug a monitor with hdmi and open retrobat crashesh, it freezes in loading screen emulation station, and windows says "The application is not responding"
I have tested the emulators without retrobat, and retroarch and games are working perfectly in the second monitor.

So, my problem is when i launch retrobat with a monitor plugged to the laptop with hdmi, retrobat freezes and not responding
without the monitor, only with the laptop retrobat works perfect without a problem

I have tested with 3 different monitors and same problem, any idea what can be???

laptop:  ryzen 7 4800H,  GPU Radeon RX 5600M 6GB,  RAM 8GB
Monitor: LC27F390FHLXZX samsung 27"

Any Help Please

Are u using your HDMI directly, or do you use some kind of hub in between ?
BTW, can you try, while Retrobat is closed, to run BatGui.exe which is at the root of your Retrobat installation, and choose your monitor index like below ?

Thanks for replying, i am using directly hdmi cable with the monitor, i have tried BatGui.exe monitor index with 3 different values (0, 1, 2)
same result keeps freezing

it is weird when i plug the monitor with hdmi the retrobat interface freeze, but when i unplugged the hdmi, the retrobat starts to work normally

Your external monitor "scaling" option must be different from your laptop screen.
The Laptop certainly uses 100% but the external screens uses something like 150% or 200%.
Make sure the scaling percent is the same for your external monitor than your laptop setting.
It can be a problem with some video drivers.

Hi, setting my second monitor with a scale of 125% (same as my laptop) worked
it seems to work now the retrobat doesnt freeze.

But there is a Problem, in my laptop 125% looks good, but in my monitor 125% is really big giant

windows recommendation is, my laptop 16" at 125%, and my monitor 27" at 100%

It seems a problem with scale, isnt it another work around?, i tried to set both at 100%, but the only convination that works is both at 125%
making my second screen too big to work with it

thanks for help

at the end, The problem was the drivers, none of the AMD drivers for Windows 10 worked.

So i have updated to Windows 11, and downloaded the latest amd drivers, and Retrobat is working good

it seems like AMD drivers for windows 10 are bug
