[Suggestion] Option to choose Monitor

PurgafoxPurgafox Member, Alpha Two
Hello everyone,

i am sure many of you (not all), as me do use multiple monitors for gaming. In light of this, i would like to suggest the option to choose the monitor on which the game is played in the graphic options of the game.

I currently have one regular monitor on the left (which is my main monitor) and an ultra wide monitor on the right (which is the monitor i play on). Now due to Windows 11 not having the option to move the task bar from one monitor to the other, it is quite annoying to have to move the game from the left monitor to the right monitor since the game always starts on the monitor that is chosen as main monitor. It also is a problem with the resolution since the game does not recognize the resolution off the second monitor when moved over there via the "windowed" option.

So please make it possible to choose the monitor the game is played on in the graphic settings of the game and dont just asume that the main monitor is the one we want to play on. :)

Thank you in advance!

    I do think that having the option to choose what monitor you want the game on would be a nice feature, but can't you (for now) just make your ultra wide monitor the main one? That you can do in Windows 11.

    Yes i could. However that would mean that everytime i want to use the task bar i have to tab out of the game
