Left 4 Dead 2 - Co-op over two displays with one system?

[CGurrell]

So I've never tried this before, I have a 1920x1080 monitor (has DVI, HDMI and VGA), and I'll have access to a 1920x1080 projector (HDMI only) on friday night for a social event. We're thinking about doing a Left 4 Dead 2 co-op event, and I was wondering whether I could have it set up so that one person (or two people I guess) use the projector, whilst another uses the monitor. If that's too vague then let me know.

Thanks

System specs:

Intel core i5-3470
8gb DDR3-1333 RAM
R9 280x 3GB
Game running off of SSD

Well the best thing you could do to cause the least amount of headache is use another computer for one of the displays. But, you could use something like SoftXpand to run multiple instances of Windows on the same pc to allow two seperate users to play L4D2 on the same PC on different screens. The 280X should have the headroom to drive two different instances of the game on max settings with no issues.

But don't forget you'll need a seperate steam account as well. You could ask to use a friend's account and if they don't own the game then you can just use family sharing so they can play it as well.

Thanks dovah-chan, I'll give it a go when I get a chance to do a test run
