Start the game always on the main display

Hi guys, I am unable to find the solution or setting how to set the display which will be used for playing the game.

For example, user/player have 3 displays and I want that my game always opens up on the main display.

But I dont want to use the Unity builtin pregame dialog.

Thank you

 

Do you mean you want to set the opening scene when your game launches? To do that open Build Settings. Add the scenes you want to the Scenes in Build section. Drag the scenes into the order you want. The game will open with Scene 0.

 

No, OP means the primary screen when using multiple monitors.







I'd have to check how to solve it exactly, I think I'd look here:

Hi guys!

Unity 2020.1.14f1

I have 5 monitors. I would like my game run in fullscreen only in main monitor.

I set code in Start():

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (Display.displays.Length > 1) {
3.        Display.displays[1].Activate();
4. }
5.  

Everything is all right, but my left monitor (number 3) is always black and the cursor is moving in it (the duplication of movements). ))

What should I do to get rid of this error? Thank you!

 

I just came across the same thing with a Unity 2021.3.2f1 app (was created with an older version):
I've got a 3 monitor setup (1 - 3 - 2) and the middle one is set as my main monitor in Win 10's settings. Whenever I open the exported Windows app (Fullscreen Window), it automatically opens on the right monitor though, even if I double-clicked the *.exe file on the main or left one.
With the "Display Resolution Dialog" that let you pick the monitor now deprecated, is there a way to fix this?

 

Thanks for the link! Are there any further infos I can give to help fix this faster?
