Hi

Rimworld is opening on my 2nd monitor rather than on the first monitor. This was not the behavior prior to A15, although my memory of this is from a few months back, as I wasn't running dual monitors when I reinstalled Rimworld during the late part of the A14 cycle.

Anyhow, now its opening on the 2nd monitor which isn't where I'd like it to! I wouldn't mind having an option to send the program to display from a certain monitor, but as it is now, its not choosing the primary monitor.

Change it to run in Windowed (rather than Fullscreen).  Drag it to the primary monitor.  (You may need to exit & restart at this point.)  Then change it back to fullscreen.  Should fix it for ya.  If not, let us know what operating system you have.

if that doesn't work, try searching your gfx driver tools package for an option to display a specific game on a specific monitor.
