The Isle starts on the wrong monitor

[Sprout]

My primary is 1920x1080 and secondary is 1280x1024 which makes the shift+windows key+left/right arrow key solution not work. I've verified game cache, reinstalled the game and deleted the save folder and it's still there.

i have 3 monitors, and it always starts up on monitor 1, which is NOT my PRIMARY MONITOR (monitor 2).
Please fix this.
Thank you.

there is no monitor settings in the isle, your best bet for now is to set the monitor you want the isle on as your primary.

that doesn't work. it always launches on [Monitor 1], which isn't the primary monitor.

unplug said monitor, launch game

I'd also like to see better support for multiple monits and non-standard resolutions (namely nmot single monitor) i tried to span this game across 3 monitors in both Nvidia's eyefinity mode (makes 3 screens show up as one) and windowed mode with wider resolutions. the results were all the same, view was always zoomed in on the character/dino and that filled up most of the scrren, making the game realistically unplayable.

Bad widescreen view, roughly dual monitors. Note that the viewable width of the game remains the same where it should increase while the vertical viewable distance is halved: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197998884446/screenshot/943959157658118603

Bad view, roughly 2.5 monitors/screens wide (eyefinity limited the width to somewhat less than normal width for some wierd reason) Notes the same issue occurs, the viewable width remains the same, and the viewable height shrinks. impossible to see anything above the character: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197998884446/screenshot/943959157658130251

Normal View/Reference: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197998884446/screenshot/943959157658107739

What it should do, and pretty much any game does, is increase the pixel rendering width, not strech/crop the view. ie: if my center screen looks like the 'normal' view, then it should look exactly the same on that screen if extended to monitors on either side, and show more panoramic, even if it is somewhat distorted. (distortion or periferal screen strech is an effect added to some games. not all of them do though (i'd prefer not to have this effect))

The view already seems a bit restrictive, esp since there is no first-person view (that i've not yet found if there is one)

i totally agree that this game need better monitor setting support! Also FPS isnt avaible yet (and wont be for dinos)

[paco]

I made a suggestion on the official discord about that option to let us choose which screen. that may help the devs see it!

I've found that the game tries to use your "maximum resolution" and automatically adjusts to that so that if your primary monitor is not that resolution, it will launch the game to where it can fit even though the game recognizes it as being launched on the primary monitor.

The simple fix: Turn off your secondary monitors(just this one time, no more after) and then launch the game, change your video settings to be the size of your primary monitor(you will notice its still set to your largest resolution still), save changes and exit the game. I turned on my secondary monitor to test if the game would flip back to it and it did not. So I relaunched the game and it worked fine after that!

EDIT: Sorry for necroposting, but this topic never seemed to have found an answer and a lot of people got frustrated trying to get it to work and this is what worked well for me.
