OOB suddenly starting on 2nd Screen - How to Solve?

Post by pupski »

Hi, I just tried to start the game after playing it for 3000 hours and suddenly it starts on my second (vertical) screen instead of the normal screen. Other Slitherine games like Gladius or Panzer Corps 2 just start normal. I start the game with the launch thing on the normal main screen as normal. No other programs or games give me any error or problem. Anybody now how to solve this issue? I think it's probably a windows 10 thing but I cannot find any hints in the Order of Battle start files or config files etc. I am not a Windows wizard any more and also not a config wizard so any hints or help is appreciated. So 3000 normal game time, updated Windows 10 and OOB 10.0.6 (the latest). It always worked well but now it doesn't. I restarted etc only I didn't try to reinstall it, call me nostalgic, keeping the game in it's natural state for 10 years on the same computer. I did check the installed files which are okay. Please Help!?

I don’t think it’s related to the game but rather to the windows display settings for this game.
Did you try to turn off or unplug the second vertical screen ?

Thanks, in the end it did the trick. I tried it with the monitor shut off and restarting but that didn't work. I removed the power cable and restarted but no positive result. In the end it worked after removing the HDMI cable and restarting. Thanks for giving me some motivation to try and figure it out. It was weird. It would be logical to have an option to point out where to play or display a game. Or not, but happy it works normal again. Thanks!
