    Hey-

    I've got a strange problem, and I couldn't seem to find any instances of it elsewhere on the forum. Here's my situation:

    I've got a laptop (GTX 980M) hooked up to a larger 24" Dell monitor. They are running side-by-side and are not mirrored, and I have the Dell set as the primary. However, for some unknown reason, BeamNG refuses to start on the primary monitor; no matter what I try, it will always launch on the laptop. In borderless mode I can switch the window over to the Dell, but the taskbar is visible (among other things) and it kind of ruins the immersion for me, as well as reducing my framerate.

    No matter what settings I adjust, it will always default back to "Generic PnP Monitor #1" after a game restart, and there seems to be nothing else that I can try. I figured the next step would probably be to reinstall DirectX but I wanted to see what you guys thought first.

    Upgraded to Windows 10, the issue is still present. I'd really appreciate some help if possible.
