Playing Battlefield 2042 on my second monitor works fine. There is a technical issue where every time I check my main monitor, the game will minimize, then when I go back to play the game and maximize the game, it will be default to my 1st monitor BUT the settings will be default to my second monitor. What I do to fix it and its annoying that I have to do it every time is basically choose Monitor 1 and then change it back to Monitor 2. It won't stay permanent when you minimize.

When you minimized does Alt + enter help you? @kymakersmark /Atic

I assume monitor 1 is set as default 1 in windows? @PanchXOXO

Do you run borderless or windows with 2042?

@EA_Atic Correct. I run the game Fullscreen. But something weirder just happen, so I ran it windowed and move it to my second monitor. Now every time I check my other monitor ⚽ it minimizes and opens on my second monitor. Issue resolve? I guess the program has to moved to the second monitor.

Battlefield 2042 uses what is set in default on windows. If you want it always to use monitor 2 it would need to be set as default main window. @PanchXOXO

I have the same issue. Also, if minimized settings seem to default to the lower spec’ed monitor. Meaning though the menu of the game states preferred monitor and fps settings, I have a stat monitor that picks up that it’s using the 2nd (not main monitor in windows) limiting by fps to 60 due to 2nd screen being only 60hz. Kinda strange but just something I noticed today. If I change the settings in menu then change them back, all is good. Just an annoying bug every time the game is minimized for a moment or two.
