Can't play on second monitor?

[Danger's Squire]

Sorry if this has been talked about before, i used the search bar and googled to find just about nothing. I'd like to play this on my second monitor but there's no display options for that, and trying to change from full screen to border-less and windowed doesn't actually seem to do anything, the screen flashes for a half second like it made a change but no matter what options I choose it's still in full screen and I'm unable to drag the program over to the second monitor. Does anyone have a solution for this?

My solution for switching monitors is pretty simple:

1. Switch to either Borderless or Windowed (i'm not sure Fullscreen works for this).
1b. Pressing Alt + Enter or F11 also works for this on-the-fly.
2. With the game up, hold Windows key + SHIFT + press left arrow or right arrow (this is a shortcut to move windows between monitors)
3. Change your resolution in "Video Settings" for the new monitor. Switch back to "Fullscreen" if you want (though I prefer Borderless for various reasons)
OR
3b. Use the Debug Console and this command to set your resolution:

r.setres 2560x1440

If you can't switch the game from fullscreen (which is pretty bizarre I have to say, and might be something specific to your hardware/configuration). There are a couple things you might be able to try to get the game to launch in windowed mode:

-Edit the game's launch options in Steam by right clicking the game in your library, go to "Properties", then in "Launch Options:" type "-windowed".

-Edit GameUserSettings.ini (with notepad) in "Documents\My Games\DRAGON QUEST XI S\Steam\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor". Under the "[/script/dq11.dq11usersettings]" header, you will have a "FullScreenMode=" line, change whatever that number is to "FullScreenMode=2". You can also change "ResolutionSizeX" and "ResolutionSizeY" here if you'd like.

Thank you so much! For whatever reason I manager to be able to get into windowed by selecting windowed and then changing the resolution to less than my monitor's, that finally forced it to being in windowed. I didn't know about the windows shift arrow key shortcut, that really makes it easier.
