Have there been fixes for multiple monitor setups?
When I bought (and then refunded) the game a few weeks ago, I was not able to run the game on my 3rd monitor. It would always bounce back to the main screen, no matter what I tried (shift-win-arrow, moving the window, etc). It worked somewhat fine with two monitors, but I have usually three connected to my machine.

Other games allow the user to select the output screen (e.g. Halo Infinite) or can be moved to a screen without trouble. I was hoping that updates may address this problem so I can buy the game again.

i never had issues with this on three monitors. I still don't now that I am down to 2 most of the time.

I however, I set the game monitor to be my primary monitor. Did you do that? You really should. I know some games like Riders Repub let you pick the active monitor. Not all do.

So we must adapt. Is there a reason you can't change the primary monitor? I change mine as needed, it makes my life easy.

Though, an option to pick monitors would be fantastic. I am not against adding it. However, there are about 1 million things on the list for them to add, so I suggest we make adjustments if we can.

The gaming monitor is in a different part of the room. I won't change primary monitors every time I play one specific game, it's just unnecessary hassle since this is the only game I play (or would like to play) that has this problem.

I'll wait until they fix this or just not re-buy the game.

It only takes a few seconds to switch primary monitors. I do know if it is in a different room you may have a couple of additional challenges though. But normally it is not a big deal. That is up to you.

I'm not sure FH4 had this option, so not sure if it will be a thing here or not.

FH5 is literally the only game I've bothered to push over to my 50inch 4k tv. I tried playing [redacted] on it (it has that handy monitor selector) but ugh, hated it. So I'd rather play a good game on my good tv, than a game that has a monitor toggle in game that isn't doing it for me.

I can switch the primary monitor as needed, it isn't a big deal.

I challenge you to change the primary monitor once, play it for a night and then change it back. :Mirro_love:
