Monitor Selection problem masseffect 2 Legendary

So i am having a problem where masseffect 2 legendary edition is not properly detecting my monitors. I have 4 monitors, 2 side by side and two above each of those. For reference this is an approximate location, the models, and how i have them placed in my windows setting.

Monitor 4: AOC - 24g2w1g5      Monitor: 3  AOC - 24g2w1g5

Monitor 2: ASUS - Pg278qr       Monitor: 1  Acer Predator - xb273k gp

I am trying to play on the Acer Predator on 4k. The problem is that all the monitors show up out of order in masseffect 2s graphics section (see attached screenshot). So when I select the proper monitor (Acer predator) the game shows up on the ASUS monitor. The game says it's on the Predator but it is showing up to the left of it on monitor 2, which in the masseffect graphics section says the ASUS ROG is monitor 3. I tried to go into the GameSettings.ini to change what monitor it boots on, but i am not sure what to change in the .ini file. I assume it's MonitorIndex=, which is set 3, but i am not sure. Also i can get it to play on the correct screen but i have to click the top one (AOC 24g2w1g5) in the "Monitor Selection" in the "Graphics section". The only problem with that is it will only let me go up to 2k, to add to the weirddom that monitor max native resolution is 1920x1080p. If any of this doesn't make any sense feel free to let me know, i know i suck at formatting text documents sorry. I will attach screenshots of the .ini file and the graphics section of masseffect 2. If you need more screenshot let me know. Thanks!

    You double checked that the settings in your drivers control panel are correct?

    If you can choose the "Acer Predator - xb273k gp" monitor, even if you have to choose a different monitor in the settings I would not further bother with that.

    The game will not get settings from or for the "wrong" monitor because this is done on a signal level.

    That you can't choose 4K is a known bug that hopefully will be addressed in the next patch.

  • @holger1405 I can select 4k when I select the Acer predator, but when select the predator the game appears on the ASUS ROG monitor to it's left. It still gives me the option to select 4k, which is strange because it is know showing up on a 2k monitor (ASUS ROG). Sounds like a may have to wait for a patch. Also thanks for the quick response!
