Game displaying on the wrong monitor
This is the first game this has happened with and I cannot figure it out. I have SLI Titan X's, an ASUS 1440p gaming monitor(Whic is my primary display), an HP IPS monitor for other things and a samsung TV for playing movies on.

For some inexplicable reason, W3 tries to play on any monitor except for my main gaming monitor. When i deactivate the IPS display it will play on my TV and only when I deactivate my TV AND IPS monitors will it show on the ASUS.

I cant seem to find settings withing witcher that will let me choose a monitor to play on and settings within windoes and Nvidia both indicate the ASUS is my primary monitor so I'm entirely at a loss as to how to fix this

Anyone experience something similar or have any recommendations?

The game is praised for being innovative and ground-breaking but truth be told, it was written by a team that jumped in way over their heads. It's a small miracle it runs as well as it does. Don't expect too much from it though. It has some of the sloppiest coding I've ever seen in a game and it's rather poorly optimized overall.

This issue should be he least of your worries.

Well damn, I guess whenever its game time I'll just deactivate the monitors. Pretty annoying but if it works I guess

There is an option in the game's graphic settings called "display" that lets you choose. I had missed it as well thinking it was a setting to tell the game to span multiple monitors, but it gives numbered options 1,2, etc. Just choose the number of the monitor you want to use.
