@pile_of_salt,

Are you able to change this via the launcher ‘Display’ setting?

Otherwise, you can edit this setting in your user_settings.config file. To do so:

  1. Press Windows + R
  2. Search %appdata%
  3. Navigate to \AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2
  4. Edit your user_settings.config file in Notepad
  5. Find the setting ‘fullscreen_output’
  6. Your displays will start counting from 0, so first output is 0, second output 1 etc.
  7. Set ‘fullscreen_output’ to the correct value of the display you wish to use
  8. Save your changes

I changed the display settings in the launcher and tested both options. Both started the game on the ‘primary’ monitor instead of the secondary one, which is what I am trying to achieve.

As for editing the configuration file, I followed your instructions, but the same problem occurred. It didn’t comply.

I see, thanks for the update!

In which case, next can you try setting your adapter_index setting in user_settings.config to 1. To do so:

  1. Press the Windows key + R
  2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
  3. Navigate to AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2
  4. Open your user_settings.config file
  5. Find the setting named adapter_index
  6. Change this setting value to adapter_index = 1
  7. Save your user_settings.config file
  8. Launch Vermintide 2 as usual

Please let me know how this goes
