Changing monitor with multiple monitors

[Barzena]

I didn't see anyone else post or ask this, so just letting people know, if you have multiple monitors and want to switch which one it is played on, change the game from full screen to windowed, then move the game window to your desired monitor, then set it back to full screen.

I did not see an option in the settings.

Ya, Or you could just hit Windows key + Shift then press the arrow keys to change monitors.
How are there people that still dont know this.

That didn't do anything for me. Instead, I just changed to 'windowed mode' and then back to 'fullscreen' after I moved the window to my other monitor.

it always starts on monitor 1 for me as it's been set like that for ages, I play all my games on monitor 1 and never had problems with them being on the wrong one

Neither method worked for me. My monitor 2 is larger than monitor 1. The game only launched from monitor 1, when I move it to monitor 2, the full screen mode will only display in a small size at the corner of the monitor 2.

change monitor 2 to monitor 1. Like swap them over if you can in the settings?

This is happening to me as well, just wanted to add some thoughts for anyone else seeing this in the future. Trying to get it to display on a 4k tv, and it will only display on my 1440p desktop monitor properly.

-Swap monitors
It happens to me even if I change the primary monitor, or use big picture mode.

- Change to windowed and then move it, change back to fullscreen
This gets it to display, but the resolution is completely janked and you can't apply any new settings.

I emailed their support and they said to try unplugging my main monitor entirely lol. I doubt this will show up in a patch but hey maybe they'll fix it eventually.

For now I'll give that a try, and look around to see if there's any .ini settings or something that I can mess with if I get around to it over the weekend.

For now I'm just going to use my desktop monitor though.

I had this issue with the Demo, ended up just watching the whole thing on youtube instead of paying for a game that would not work for my set up. Was checking the forums one last time for a fix before watching the ending.... but no luck it looks like.

My set up is like this |= and the game will only start on the left vertical screen, not my Primary monitor 1 bottom right horizontal screen.

Every other game made in 2020: Supports running on the monitor you have selected as main by default.
Futuristic game with AI and Androids: Na, we gunna make them do something tedious to be able to play this game.

Just wow what kind of game does not let you configure what monitor the game runs onto, its not even launching on my primary monitor, you think i will change my configuration inside windows just to play this game when its just fine for any other game yeah sorry no can do.

This has worked for me:

1. Find the file in the game folder called WindowsInfo.JSON
2. Open it with a text editor.
3. Change the following parameters:
"MONITOR": 0 (set it to 1 or 2, depending on how many screens you have attached)
"DISPLAY_MODE": 0 (set it to 0 if it's anything different. 0 means fullscreen)
"WINDOW_RESOLUTION_WIDTH": 1920 (set it to your monitor/TV resolution width)
"WINDOW_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT": 1080 (same but with height).
4. Save the file.
5. Start the game.

i did a clean install and it's playing on monitor 2 by default - so weird. no other game does this.

I changed the file from "1" to "0" and it's now fixed.
