Input Signal Out of Range
Hi! I'm having an issue with launching the game using my primary monitor. This monitor has a refresh rate of 75hz, and when I try to launch the game using it as the main monitor I get "Input Signal Out of Range". However, the game works fine on my 60hz monitor, and no other game has given me this issue before.

I did an hour or so of reading before I posted this to make sure that I covered all the known workarounds. However I'm unable to land on a fix so far. I've ensured that all my drivers are updated and they were all updated. I ran the PC in safe mode. The one thing that I tried, which failed, was switching the default rate to 60hz via Nvidia Control Panel. After attempting to apply it, the setting returns to 75hz.

I believe this is a bug but I'm not sure if this is a bug with my driver or a bug with the game. If it's a bug with the game I was hoping that someone might know what is going on, how to fix it, or if a fix is in the works. If it's better to post this on their forums, feel free to tell me so as well. I'd also like to know if there's a work around besides the one that a Mod for this discussion forum has been posting as I have done everything their suggestion leads to and more.

Sounds like a driver issue. One thing you may need to do is make sure that both monitors are set appropriately for their differing refresh rates. If your driver/card isn't "full-featured" for setting up custom display options for multiple monitor setups, you might need to figure out a workaround.

Make sure you also have any additional drivers and environmental settings/configs/inis for your specific monitor, too, so the system can recognize it and understand its unique specifications. Default, generic, monitor profiles may not be detailed enough to handle telling the system what it needs to know about your 75hz monitor.

A monitor profile file should be available from your monitor's mfr. Barring that, if it's PNP, it should identify itself with Windows and there may be a profile/update for it from Microsoft in your Update settings, depending upon what OS you're using. (Win10 sucks for actually letting you know what sorts of driver/profiles/inf options are out there. :/ )

The profiles are current, and although they're generic they are from the manufacturer, and have worked with every other game for the last 3 years. They even worked with an older build of Kenshi, but that was awhile ago.

I was able to run the game in 1440x900, and I'm guessing I'll be able to run it in other resolutions outside of 1920x1080. Hopefully that helps narrow the issue down.

EDIT: I was able to play at 1600x1024 @30hz but no higher. I was also able to get Nvidia Control Panel to accept 60hz as the setting.

SOLUTION! Setting the game from Fullscreen mode to Borderless fixed the issue.

Thanks for your assistance Morkonan.

I did nothing. :) But, I'll be happy to accept the credit for all those other posters who contribute so very little without getting adequate recognition for also doing so very little to help others with their problems. :)

PS - Good solution. It really should be a "go to" solution for a lot of display issues. It isn't uncommon for some games to run better in a borderless window mode. Gratz you! Remember it so you can help the next player who has the same problem. ;)
