keeps opening on wrong monitor

[Luxxx]

game keeps opening on the wrong monitor ive tried going windowed mode draging to main monitor then going borderless but it just goes back to the other monitor and ive tried windows+ arrow keys which does nothing and ive tried windows+P and turning to main monitor then both monitors and nothing

Ditto, for the time being I just change it in the graphics options each launch, also noticed the tags were wrong initially, labelling my headset twice, now its labelling as 1, 2 etc but still insists on launching on the sub 4k screen.

Same always switches to second Screen......not fixed on Release gg

Same on my end, i got one Monitor on the Internal GPU and the Main Monitor on a dedicated GPU. Game keeps opening on the Monitor thats connected to the Internal GPU but it is set to use the dedicated for rendering.

This. It's getting really annoying. It keeps switching monitors and every time it happens the 2 monitors swap places in settings too

Like one time 1st monitor is my main Asus monitor and the next time it's 2nd.

[HapoQ]

Same for me

[Phoenix]

Same for me. I hope a quick fix.

[Redbull ✞]

[THEPROPHET]

[Velayre]

It keeps swapping the hardware ID from #1 to #2 the whole time for me. For the first two days it kept booting on my secondary monitor, forcing me to change every time. Then for three days it started on my main monitor. Now it's back to doing the same ♥♥♥♥ on my secondary again.

Just WHY does it keep detecting the wrong monitor as being primary or secondary and then randomly swapping which one is which? It should just listen to what Windows or NVIDIA Control Panel has as Primary and nothing else.

Are any of you using resolution scaling in your settings - DSR in nvidia? I had that ticked for a couple of resolutions in control panel (even though I was not using them) and it caused game to open on the wrong monitor because it always wanted to run one of the higher non native resolutions.

So some general thoughts:

Make sure DSR Factors is OFF.

Disable image scaling.

Make sure this is correct for the global and game settings if you have them in control panel.
Set the monitor sequence in control panel and in the windows device settings to make your desired panel default.

Lastly if that doesn't help - can you set the settings ini file for the game to read only and see if that stops the game shifting it.

Final one... if you have onboard graphics on your CPU and motherboard - put your second monitor on that instead of your main gpu. That will fix it as a workaround.
Maybe no good for the 3 monitor folks though sorry.

If any of this helps - please post back up. DSR sorted me out but maybe the other ideas can help if DSR is not your problem.

Same here.. i have a small 5" lcd for monitoring how my PC performs.... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jx20gs0F2vaQeCYUHEIYl3kuRGXZODni/view?usp=drive_link

such small resolution.. 480x800, NOT EASY TO READ... but found settings, game only finds the small lcd, and not my Samsung G7 27" 1440p monitor...

ALT + Enter to make it windowed, drag to other screen, ALT + Enter again. Simple workaround, but doesn't resolve the startup issue.

Anyone finding success here - did my suggestions work for any of you? It's a pita :/
