Change active display

Post#1 » Wed Sep 04, 2019 8:46 pm

Is there a way to change which display the game plays on? It keeps sticking to my primary display, unless I change it to windowed mode, but that causes the game to be behind my taskbar. I'm hoping to swap to my secondary display (my smaller monitor) and use my larger monitor for discord/internet/whatever.

Even swapping to window mode, moving it over to my second monitor, and then un-selecting 'show frame' causes the game to snap back to the center of the primary monitor.

Thanks!

You could change the main monitor in Windows.

I tinkered around with this before and I think this is the only real solution.

I know this is a solution, but it's an undesired one. Most games I've played allowed me to change monitors (even by dragging a windowed game over and then re-selecting full screen mode).

I leave my larger monitor as my main monitor and use my smaller monitor for games so that I still have access to my desktop icons and whatnot.
But that is my backup plan.

Before getting to critical I would try and remember this game came out in 2008 and the devs have essentially rebuilt it from the ground up. Having the ability to swap the active monitor is probably very very low, if even, on this list of things to look into.
