When booting up ARMA 3 Alpha (not in window mode), I get a blank screen on my computer monitor. My Vizio TV, which is connected to the back end of my computer through an HDMI cable, displays video output of ARMA 3. I can run window mode of ARMA 3 just fine through my computer monitor, however I get some serious frame rate drops during combat (which is not fun when getting shot at). The game runs like normal when without going into window mode (by that I mean my computer can give out a decent FPS rating of 40-60), however it is a bug nonetheless. {F18120}

AFAIK games normally choose only the primary display for output, and as you run the game in fullscreen, the other display does not get any video input because of this.
