How to play game on non-primary display?
I've been having some difficulty playing on my primary monitor as the resolution is larger than 1920x1080 and no matter what I do the game only displays on this screen as pixel for pixel in windowed mode AND IN FULL SCREEN making the game features (not the UI) very small.

I have not been able to run the game at full screen at any resolution below native, it just goes into the top left, again pixel for pixel.

And the other displays experience resolution drops (they all run 1920x1080) and become unusable, this is not acceptable.

Is there a way I can run the game on another monitor, like a steam launch command or something? Perhaps this could be added to the game or at least the pref.xml. Dragging the window and maximising did not work.


It seems the fundamental issue is that the ingame graphical elements have specific pixel dimensions mapped to their appearance (layman) and will only display at that size regardless of the game resolution.

As a result whether I play the game at 1280, 1080, 1440 or 2160 the entities in the game world are always the same number of pixels wide/tall.

I would prefer to play at 1080 but it WILL NOT STRETCH. Thankfully I have many 1080 monitors.

I don't know if this helps, but there's a UI scaling setting in the options that should make the UI larger.

For the actual game world, you does zooming with mouse wheel help?

I agree that in an ideal world there would be a selector for which screen to maximize in, but the code for the game is pretty old now and the libraries that I used didn't have that option at the time.
