Game starts on incorrect display settings.
Hey! Just got CoD:AW and it’s showing on a second monitor instead of the main one. You’re using a dual-monitor setup—one through a mini-displayport and another via HDMI. It seems like there’s no obvious way to switch the display source directly in the game settings. You might need to adjust the display settings manually in the game or check if your monitor drivers support changing the active display. Let me know if you want help with that!
Confirm the setup of the monitors and ensure the game is launching from the correct one as the primary display.
You verified the configuration again, but results stayed the same. In the screenshots: the left side shows AMD Catalyst CC, while the right side displays Windows.
The mini-displayport one appears first, and both monitors display the loading screen. Yes, AW is the sole game or program causing this issue. I attempted to start my PC using just the HDMI display plugged in, so only that monitor was active and set as primary. Then I shut down the system and connected the second monitor. The second monitor still shows up first, but the primary monitor starts slowly, making it hard to confirm completely.
In the game, you have the option to adjust the graphics to "Optimal Settings." Choosing this causes the game to open on the incorrect display. However, applying your own custom graphics settings results in it launching on the main screen. This seems like an odd issue.
