kowloon -> Trying to get this running on a newer machine (3/10/2019 11:00:53 AM)

I'm trying to get the game running on a newer machine that has Win 10. I have multiple monitors and the game doesn't seem to like running in anything other than the primary monitor.
My centre monitor is large but high resolution so any game that runs on it needs to have a scalable UI or I can't read anything on it. Both my side monitors are 1080p so if the game could run in them the UI would be legible (I have poor eyesight).
My other option would be if there's a way to scale the game in the centre monitor without changing display resolution. The centre monitor is an ultrawide so it doesn't work well with older games (and some current games).

This game will run well on Windows 10 if it is set up right.
I assume you know about the command line switches.

In your case there is an option in 10 to custom scale the displays.

Follow these instructions:

My guess is that the game will not run right in full screen with a scaled display.
Try to run it in a window and see if that works.

This depends on your monitors so you may want to call windows support and let them walk you through it.

Also, the game wants control of the screen, or screens in your case. I have 2 monitors. While the game is running I have no access to the 2nd monitor. I run I full screen mode. Windowed mode will, or should, allow access to the other monitors....GP

Got it running in my centre screen, I had failed to account for a 1.5 scaling on windows. I incremented the windowed size out with the increments (21:9 at normal) adjusted to the 1.5x scaling and took a little off for my taskbar. Interestingly, if you drag the window partially across the monitors the section of game window on the side monitor freezes but the part in the primary works as it should. Thanks for the replies!
