Rainbow Six: Siege and dual monitor setup issues....please help
Can anyone help me? I have somewhat of a unique problem. It seems to only be Siege related, as no other games or windows do this. The problem is as follows:

I have a dual monitor setup, so that i can multi task easily. However when I open Siege, the game will maximize on my primary monitor, but it will cause the second monitor to slide whatever window is open about six inches to the right, so that the monitor (the second one) is only showing like half of what is being displayed on it, rendering it completely useless. I have tried different in-game display settings, i.e. borderless, full screen, windowed. None of those fixes it. I can exit the game, readjust everything on the second monitor, but as soon as i open Siege on my primary monitor (again, no other game or widow does this, just Siege) the same problem occurs. I have done everything i can with my monitor display settings, and everything is as it should be. Like I said, just so its clear, no other game or window that is open on my primary screen will do this to the second monitor, only Siege does it, which makes me assume the problem is within the game somehow, not my monitor settings. No one else seems to have this problem, so finding a solution is quite difficult. If it helps my two monitors are not the same size, but i don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you running the game with the native resolution of the monitor?

The problem is with the game running a different resolution to desktop, so when you boot up, windows thinks the desktop resolution has changed and it adjusts things to fit. Windows throws a special hissy fit if they are mismatched monitors with different resolutions.

Doesn't have to be native on either end as long as there is no resolution change from desktop to game.
