I have a triple monitor setup with a 5760 x 1200 desktop resolution (through ATI Eyefinity, which treats the three monitors as a single monitor), and I would like to be able to play the game in windowed mode with the window only taking up a portion of one of those monitors.

Before patch 1.01 I had to run in full-screen mode at 1920 x 1200, which resulted in the same image being mirrored on all three monitors.
I was hoping that patch 1.01 would resolve this for me with the new windowed mode, but it is not behaving as I expected.
When I select 1920 x 1200 resolution with windowed mode enabled, it forces my desktop resolution down to 1920 x 1200 resolution, and I still get the same image mirrored on all three monitors. I then have to go back to the desktop and change my resolution back to 5760 x 1200 to restore the game window back to a single monitor and free up the other two.

This is not a game breaking issue, and I guess it would only affect players using an ATI Eyefinity setup or similar, but it would be nice to be able to play the game without having to mess around with my screen resolution each time I start it up. Here's hoping that a solution can be found.

I'll pass this to Iain.

Just a bump to confirm that this issue is still occurring in Patch 1.05. When I played with windowed 1920 x 1200 mode, the game still forces my desktop resolution from 5760 x 1200 down to 1920 x 1200.
The expected behavior would be for the game to open a 1920 x 1200 window and not change my desktop resolution.

Will it help if you go to the %My Documents%\My Games\Panzer Corps folder, open LAUNCHER.INI file and set REZ_X and REZ_Y to match the resolution of your 3-monitor setup?

This could help if he wanted to run PC spanning all three monitors but from what i understood he wants it to run as window filling one of his monitors leaving the other two free.

The point is, the game should not switch resolution on startup, and then he can position the window the way he wants. To avoid switching resolution, the game should be configured to run in the same resolution which is used by Windows desktop, hence my suggestion.

This resolved my issue, thanks! I had assumed the resolution settings applied to the window that opened, and not my desktop.
