Launching on the wrong monitor
So I'm in a bit of a werid place. I normally run a 3 monitor system like I am now. Howver, for a few days I added a 4th and was playing my games there. I had set it to temporarily be my main monitor but have sense put everything back.

The only thing I noticed is that PULSAR for the first time prompted me with a little graphic configuration screen to pick resolution and an active monitor which it hadnt done beofre and I haven't managed to come back sense. My problem now is the game in full screen is now stuck on one of my side monitors and desipte every trick I can find will always nspa back to the side monitor instead of my designated main monitor in the middle.

I've checked all the in game settings from the main menu and checked through all the ini files as best as I can. I have also completely deleted and reinstalled the game and took care to remove the leftover settings. I am now at a complete loss as to what I'm over looking.

Just my 2 cents, got an MSI r9 390, 3 screen as in 1->2->3 (dual monitors and a TV all in line)
Main is Display Port, 1920x1080@60
2nd is DVI 1920x1080@60
3rd HDMI,1920x1080@60

In a few game, if my thinking is correct, when setting Video Setting for the first, time, going Fullscreen set itself on the wrong monitor sometimes.
I kind of feel HDMI>DP>DVI in IRQ or priority to be recognised as Main monitor.

- Probably is driver related (recent driver went out a couple of days for me)
- Radeon setting/ Catalyst, anything there?
- Can you re-set the video setting in pulsar using only your main monitor plugged in, then replug 2/3.
- Can you set it windowed, then minimize, then maximize, then fulscreen (Min,max, kind of makes windows remember windows last position and size).

- I guess using HDMi monitor as main is not an option?
- Playing with display properties order (Identify 1,2,3 screen), can you re-set main windows, or play with connector/positions to rearrange? (not what you want, just a possible workaround).

I've tried quite a few things at this point, Checked in CCC, unplugged and replugged monitors in various orders with game launched and not, still having the same issue.

Ive just been keeping it windowed in the mean time which is working out ok its not too annoying for me other than I know it worked right before and I'd like to have it work again.

Still no luck on the window that shows up at launch
