game switches to second monitor

[deadwishd]

Game randomly switches to monitor during cutscene/loading screens.
How to tell the game wich monitor it should use?

Thanks for the report. We've had one other report similar to this when entering Supralight.

The game should always open and operate on your main monitor, whichever is your default.

I have a 3 monitor setup and it sticks to the default main monitor.

Are you running fullscreen, windowed or fullscreen windowed mode?
How is your monitor connected? HDMI?

If you use WINDOWS + SHIFT + LEFT ARROW Key does that move the game back to you main monitor?

(I'll move this to Bugs & Technical Issues.)

Did some research a while ago, after installing windows 10 on a diff monitor (then switching back to the normal setup with 2x main monitors). Right now my setup is a bit screwed, but even then Everspace 2 runs fine on a monitor where I start it.

In short: the monitor you first set up your Windows will be considered default (or #1), and there's no way of changing it, except reinstalling Windows from scratch.

Few things to try:

* reinstall windows (it is involving, I kno :)
* verify that you're running Full Screen mode
* Codec setup. I've seen it in other games - cut scene is played as a video, and then some arcane codec setting controls the monitor. Hard to recommend troubleshooting here, I reinstall windows every 3 years, and use klite codec pack.

I had the same problem. Uninstalled my video driver, restarted the computer, and reinstalled the driver, and that fixed it.
