Beta uses monitor 1 as primary monitor instead of the primary monitor
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

The alpha did this right. The game would start on my primary monitor, and fullscreen on my primary monitor.

But the beta starts on monitor 1 (The monitor connected on port 1 on the graphics card), and also fullscreens on monitor 1, meaning I can only play it fullscreen on my little 1360x768 TV.

I can only run the game in regular windowed mode if I want it on my primary monitor. Both fullscreen and fullscreen windowed puts it on monitor 1.

As a work-around, I've had to make a small program that removes the window border from the windowed option, and places it onto my primary monitor.

I've made a simple program that removes the window border and fits it onto the primary screen.

Go into video options, set it to Windowed (not fullscreen windowed), then change the resolution to the same as your primary monitor, and run the program. It'll fit the window to the primary monitor. You have to run it every time you start the game.

I encountered the same problem, upvoted (nice background btw)

Still a huge issue in latest dev version.
