dual monitor question... need help!!
running the game in fullscreen or windowed and clicking on my second monitor causes the game to blink, in fullscreen the game minimizes to let me use the second monitor, in windowed it blinks, if i try maximizing the screen so its centered it will jump to my second monitor.

the game also says my display 2 is display 1 and 1 is 2... (basically, my main for playing the games is display 1 and display 2 for other stuff, but i have to set it to display 2 so it goes to display 1, doesnt make any sense).

any answers to this question, tried using steam horrible search function but sadly it either doesnt show, doesnt search or load anything, or pages seem to disappear, was about to google but most are from 2015..

edit: googled some but found no answers and a shining rock game site (forum) that was literally dead.

first time playing the game.

For me, it's normal for any game to minimize when using 2nd monitor... lol

i can play all the other games fine (atleast in windowed) without having both screen go black for a few second and then do it again when i try clicking back into the game....

also when its windowed in this game only, it doesnt size properly, or if i try to maximize it to fit the screen it goes to the other screen i dont want it on....

also wondering why the game seems to number my monitors wrong, why does the game show monitor 1 as monitor 2 or 2 as 1?

it makes no sense..

I always play fullscreen, so I won't be much help.

I run dual monitor but am not experiencing what you do. When the game is running, and I click the mouse on the second monitor, the game will switch to windowed mode. When I click back on the game it goes fullscreen again. There is a very brief "black flash" as it switches from windowed to fullscreen and vice versa.
