Multiple Monitors...

[cacti46]

Hey Devs/support team Just a heads up: The game will not launch with dual monitors. I get an error saying add a line adapter = 1 to settings.txt. there is no settings.txt upon fist launch of the game

I have the same problem for the error messages says
"Failed to create a graphics device.
This might be because you have more than one screen/graphics card.
You could try to write adapter=1 in the settings.txt file."

[awkwardmoment]

you really should avoid saying things like "devs, heads up" when you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about...

Got the same error after installing the death or dishonor DLC.
But I do not have a solution...

Search the forum for pointers, if that doesn't help I'd recommed you to get in touch with Paradox' support.[www.paradoxplaza.com]

Either way please report back how you fixed it for the benefit of other users.

Hi!

If you don't see your settings file you can always create one. Open notepad and create a new file called "settings" and paste the text from the following link (and then add the extra line):

The new file you've made should then be saved in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV

Hello,

Recently I hooked up two monitors and I found a solution:

Go to the settings.txt file and make sure you are standard windows mode, borderless does not work. I have two 1920x1080 monitors on this machine, so I set my resolution for 3840x1040 (The less vertical resolution is account for the title bar). This will give you a windowed screen but it will fit across both monitors. This is not a perfect solution but it does work.

The settings.txt I use:
graphics={
size={
x=3820
y=1040
}

min_gui={
x=3840
y=1040
}

gui_scale=1.000000
refreshRate=60
max_refresh_rate=75
fullScreen=no
borderless=no
shadows=no
disable_3d_model_viewer=no
shadowSize=2048
multi_sampling=4
maxanisotropy=4
gamma=50.000000
vsync=yes
}
