Dual Monitor Problem -> Black Screen + Dayz on far right Monitor
New, NormalPublic

Description

Hello,

i am running a 2 monitor setup on a geforce GTX 970.
My primary monitor is standing on the left, while my 2nd monitor is standing on the right. Both run on 1920*1080.
Before 0.60 is could play on my first monitor seeing Dayz while on my 2nd monitor i could open izurvive, teamspeak or sth else.
After the 0.60 Update, whenever i start Dayz my 2nd monitor turns black. After i press alt + tab both monitors are working again, but after maximazing dayz again it returns to my 2nd monitor and i got no option to move it back to my primary one.
What i tryd to resolve the issue:

  • start in window mode on Monitor 1, after i press alt + enter to get fullscreen dayz goes to monitor 2.
  • start in window mode, drag the window to Monitor 2 -> press alt + enter for fullscreen -> fullscreen on Monitor 2

I thought maybe dayz goes always to my 2nd Monitor. So i changed my primary monitor to the right one, while my monitor on the left becomes my secondary:

  • i start the game on monitor on the right -> the left monitor (2nd) goes black. After alt + tab and in again the game stays on the right monitor.

-> The game doesnt care if the monitor is set to primary or secondary, it chooses to play on the right monitor.

Don't think they will fix it at all. Since there are a lot of people having this issue and it seems like there is not a work around that works and they have not even looked into it. And the fact this was started in July and it is December with the same issue here...

I have the same issue. Never had this problem until the DayZ .61 exp came out. Now that .61 is on stable I'm still having the issue. I almost just want to go back to stable .60 so I don't have to deal with this. It wouldn't be so bad if they would fix the gamma for windowed modes.
