Can't play on preferred monitor

Hi

I’ve got a new laptop but I think this bug was partially the same on my old one.

I want to set a different monitor as my main for Overwatch however it always stays on the laptop’s screen rather than moving.

I tried using things such as going windowed, moving to the screen i wanted then going borderless but my FPS went from 150+ to about 50-60, granted I’m going from 1080p to 1440p but it was never that severe.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Many thanks

Heya,

Are you able to set the display you want to use, using the in-game settings?


Have a few seconds to spare? Let me know how I’m doing!

Hi

No unfortunately not, this was what I tried first but (after checking the monitors on windows display) when selecting the monitor I wanted and clicking apply, nothing happened, it stayed on the same screen.

This happened on my old laptop too but that one didn’t have the significant FPS drop.

I can send through any hardware specs in case it helps but all updates for Windows/Nvidia etc are up to date.
