I have 2 monitors connected to computer.
Desktop extended over both monitors.
WOFF UE won't boot.
--------------
But it will boot and play just fine if I tell Windows to just use 1 monitor instead.
1) Is there a way to make WOFF appear only on 1 monitor while the other monitor is also on?
2) Is there a way to make WOFF run in windows mode, instead of full screen, during a mission?

Thanks.

Interesting. I have no idea but am curious as to your #1.
I have used dual monitors for work (never gaming) but it seems like a pretty simple thing.
Plenty of video experts here so I suspect you’ll have your answer shortly.

1) Yes - that is my setup. However, you can not have desktop extended over both monitors.
2) I do not think so, because 3D is called by WOFF manager internally and without code modification to executing command (adding command attributes) it is not possible

I will move this to the technical subforum but you need to try options your GPU control panel. In NVidia look under Setup Multiple Displays try surround spanning options for example that can give you a desktop across both for example and other options. I know when I had two, and then later 3 monitors Nvidia's settings there were quirky there.

Thanks, all.
I will not be able to get it run on the largest of my two monitors without turning the other monitor off in Nvidia Setup Multiple Displays.
CFS3 can do that, WOFF BHH could do that, FSX can do that, But WOFF UE can't do that on my computer.

Not a big deal, it takes only a few seconds to turn off the 2nd monitor in either Windows Screen Resolution ap or Nvidia Setup Multiple Displays ap.
And then turn 2nd monitor back on for FSX or anything else in Windows such as web browsing.

Sorry, I read the thread title and thought you wanted to have both monitors in game running. I do #1 all the time. (I usually do #2 only at home though, it feels strange anywhere else...)

Yeah, I got 2 displays working like Rick now (thanks), but I had to reduce the resolution down on the larger monitor slightly below the standard resolution to make WOFF and WOTR accept it. Thanks again!
