Monitor Problems
« on: January 05, 2017, 11:36:52 AM »
So I moved recently...and in that move one of my monitors was damaged.  Which sucks, but then I discovered I could probably use my 24" HDTV as a Monitor.  Which actually works!  Except when the game launches out of windowed mode into its "full screen" it moves to my smaller secondary monitor automatically.  If I only have the TV monitor hooked up, it stays with the TV, otherwise it moves over.  Any Suggestions on how to get it to default to my "big" monitor?

Have you tried to make the TV the primary display?

This helped tremendously. I had already set the TV to be the primary display, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it wasn't using it. Thanks!
