Second Screen Controller & Multi-Monitor Support
Two new ways to play Erleuchtung across multiple screens — turn your phone into a touch controller, or move all sidebars to a second monitor for a clean map view.
📱 Phone & iPad Controller
Turn your phone or iPad into a wireless touch controller for the game. All the right sidebar buttons — Chat, Inventory, Shop, Marketplace, Groups, and more — become large, touch-friendly buttons on your mobile device.
How it works
- Open the game on your main screen and click the 📱 Controller button in the right sidebar.
- A QR code appears on the main screen.
- Scan the QR code with your phone or iPad camera.
- Your phone opens a touch-optimized controller page with all the sidebar buttons.
- Tap any button on your phone — the action executes instantly on the main game.
Features
No apps to install. Just scan the QR code with your phone camera and you’re connected. Works entirely on your local Wi-Fi/LAN — no internet required.
Tired of your phone screen turning off after one minute? Tap “Stay On” in the controller status bar to keep the display awake. Uses the Screen Wake Lock API with a silent audio fallback for older iOS versions.
If your phone goes to sleep and wakes up, the controller automatically reconnects. Buttons stay visible and functional during reconnection — no more “connection lost” errors.
Choose whether the right sidebar disappears on the main screen when a controller connects. Keep it for backup, or hide it for a cleaner view.
Available controls
Chat, KF-Rooms, Inventory, Leaderboard, Groups, Shop, Marketplace, Trust, ECO ID, Ambassadors, Invite, Breathing, Academy, Wiki & Blog, 3D Globe, Manual, Settings, Admin, Debug.
🖥️ Second Monitor Support
Have a second monitor connected to your Mac or PC? Now you can move the left sidebar (stats, boosters, quest), right sidebar (navigation buttons), and top resource bar (KC/CC balances) to a second browser window on your second monitor — leaving a clean, full-screen map view on your main display.
How it works
- Open the game on your main screen and click the 🖥️ 2nd Screen button in the right sidebar.
- Click “Open Second Screen” — a new browser window opens.
- Drag that window to your second monitor.
- Check the panels you want to move: Left Sidebar, Right Sidebar, Top Bar.
- Checked panels instantly disappear from the main screen and appear on the second monitor.
- Uncheck any panel to move it back.
Why it’s instant
The second monitor feature uses the browser’s BroadcastChannel API — two browser windows on the same machine communicate directly with each other, with zero latency and no server round-trip. Panel content is mirrored in real-time, and clicks on the second screen are sent back to the main game instantly.
💡 Tip: Use Close & Restore to close the second window and bring all panels back to the main screen at once.
