i think you can just put it into windows mode then drag it to your second monitor then full screen it.

Change the external monitor you're using to your main monitor when it's plugged in. Or alternatively, change your power settings on the laptop so that it doesn't hibernate or shutdown while the lid is closed. Then while playing the game, close the laptop lid and it will automatically make the external monitor the default.

^ I would try that. You know in the OS setting where you see the 1 and 2? If you make the other monitor you primary (1) that should do it. I think it's SETTINGS - DISPLAY - MULTIPLE MONITORS or something like that.

Stumbled across this: Not sure if it's still relevant.

Ok, Windowed Mode, Borderless. Windows + Shift + Left / Right arrow key works before the main menu is loaded. Special Edition I am playing.

Kai Almighty, you need to start your own thread. Posting in another will just cause the issue to get overlooked and/or cause confusion.

For the future people who will have the same question. Also, i just discovered that if you turn the steam overlay, the windows key method works flawlessly.

Mine was a solution, not a question.

Future people will probably ask on their own thread.

That's pretty handy Kai. I didn't know about that shortcut. As works right from desktop to move the active window to either of my 3 monitors, I'll be using that a lot.
