Game Starts on the wrong monitor.

Post by Zeyhn »

Heya,

Not sure which section to put this in but here we go.
So I have a problem. Whenever I startup Starcraft II it starts on my 3rd monitor

[1][2][3]<-

I want it to start on the one in the middle, [2].
I have a temporary fix for the problem which is to go from windowed fullscreen(what I play in)
to fullscreen and then back to windowed fullscreen. This puts the game on my 2nd monitor.

Is there a way to make it always start on the 2nd one?

Setup is NVIDIA Surround with gtx 570 SLI if that is of any help.

Just make sure your center

It will always run on monitor [1]. so just make sure that one is your center monitor. It dosent mater about the other 2 as you will drag them to suit during the nvidia wizard to span your monitors.

I believe you can also run

I believe you can also run SC2 in windowed mode and it will automatically center (assuming you don't mind seeing your desktop). At least, that works for a TH2G.

ive been running it windowed

ive been running it windowed as well. course im on 3x1 4:3 monitors. so single mon is only 1280x1024 which sucks.
i can run it at 1920x1080 windowed and it just spills onto the side monitors.
no bezel correct though, cause a marine or zergling can sit in the bezel corrected area heh. its a bit annoying as in an RTS the bezels are more "in the way" but getting the extra pixels is kinda worth it for me :)
