Game opens on second monitor

[Heideroosje]

every time i launch the game it opens on my second monitor. I can just go into sttings and change it to my first. But its irritating as hell. does anyone know how to fix this?

Same here. It always launches on my TV. Changing display number doesn't work at all. It always starts runs on my second screen.

I have this issue too wish I could I say I had a better solution, than unplugging it, sadly I do not, but it works :P

It doesn't even change monitors when I try to change the settings. Really frustrating.

For me it says its on the first monitor but it is on the second so i first aply the second and then aply the first again. Maybe that will help but you will have to do it every time

Same issue here. Changing the setting does nothing. Really annoying.

For now, just hold the Windows Key+Shift+Right/Left(wherever your primary monitor is). At least until this is fixed.

Hmm I just tried that and it moved the screen, but the Windows taskbar stayed on top of the game window. Also it wouldn't let me select the buttons at the bottom (quest, settings, and another one I can't remember.) Guess I'll just play in windowed mode and move it over for now.

This worked for me . It says it's on the first monitor, so I select second monitor and hit apply, then I reselect first monitor and hit apply again and it correctly detects the first monitor and moves.

I have exactly the same problem. Workaround from above didn't help me though.

Same issue here. I launch the game, it launches on monitor 1, which is not my primary monitor. It's set for fullscreen because there is no window fullscreen borderless option. I change the graphics setting to monitor 2 and apply. No change. I then set to windowed, drag it to the second monitor and change back to fullscreen and it's now where it should have been all along.

Usually games play on the primary monitor, not monitor 1 or 2, that's really a port thing. I can't understand why this game seemingly is preferencing monitor number over primary setting. I have literally played hundreds of games and this is the only one to ever do that.

Relevant info:
Windows 10 Pro (64bit)
nVidia 980 Ti (368.22 drivers - will wait a couple of days before going to .39)

Same issue here, launches on Monitor 1 even though it says in the setting its on Monitor 2. Changing the Monitor number does not change which screen it starts on.

Having the same issue after changing my video card and using two monitors. Was fine when just one monitor was hooked up. For some reason, the full screen resolution of my second monitor is capped at the resolution of the second monitor. When I change the display to "Monitor 2", it allows me to increase the resolution but ends up very distorted. Using GTX 1060.

Edit - NM, reboot fixed my issue.

Fix to your problem is press Alt+Enter when in the game it will take it out of full screen into windowed mode then move it to the monitor you want it on and alt+enter again. If it still fullscreens on other monitor then just play with it in windowed mode but what i said should fix it.

Problem still present and very annoying.

Everything related to monitor and resolution options is broken.

The game opens in monitor 1 by default but switching to monitor 2 keeps the resolution list from monitor 1.

In my case, monitor 1 is in Portrait mode and monitor 2 in Landscape.
Also, going to windowed empties the list to a tiny 480*640 resolution (yes, vertical and horizontal are inverted on the portrait mode) which makes it hard to read the text on the UI as everything is scaled down too much.

It would have been nice to be able to resize manualy the window while the UI is not scaled.
