How do I select full-screen monitor in a multi-monitor setup? - Hubro - 09-18-2014
I have a multi-monitor setup with one kick-ass gaming monitor, one large QHD monitor for work and one small regular monitor for communication applications. I always want my games to launch full-screen on my awesome gaming monitor. In Amnesia's case, it launches on my small monitor, even if it's not marked as the "primary" monitor in Nvidia settings.
There should probably be a setting next to the resolution setting where the user can pick which monitor to use. This should be really easy if you use SDL. In the mean time, there should at least be an environment variable or a command line option for overriding which monitor is used.
Thanks for any responses.
