Missing something.. Monitors. See inside

[StareX]

Ok! Hi.

Noob question and pretty easy in my opinion to answer.

I've always played games on my 23 inch Samsung monitor. Ok, now I plugged in another monitor I had lying around to get a dual monitor setup. (Not gaming on both tho).

The other monitor produces 75Hz and is connected with a DVI to HDMI connector to my PC.

Now, I've set it as my main monitor to try and see if I can play games running from this monitor which by the ways marks me as '1' in Resolution settings, and it simply won't work.

What do I mean by "simply won't work". I mean, that my Samsung monitor is getting the game, not my other one. Only when I disable the Samsung monitor, the game will start in the other monitor. And if I reconnect it back, it stays in the other monitor but if I alt tab, it switches back to the Samsung monitor.

BF4 doesn't have this as I can choose which monitor I want to display. 1 or 2.

But in other Gamez, nope.. Not getting this option.

Does anyone know what to do?

You have to set it as your main monitor and then restart.

Weird, works for me.

Well not for me.

is the start button on the monitor your trying to run it on?

 

if this is steam try verifying the integrity of the game, after that it redoes the direct X bit that i am assuming binds it to a monitor.
