Moving game window to another monitor

[RedlegSA]

In Windows 7 I am not sure how how to move the game window to another monitor. The title strip is not on the game to grab and move (in windowed mode) and right clicking the taskbar item does not give me a move option. Is there a way to shift the game to another monitor?

Setup is an Alienware laptop with primary display the laptop display and a larger monitor attached. When I play games I generally run them windowed and move the game to the larger monitor.

I've never tried this but I'm guessing it's not possible because the game does not run with a boarder when running in Windowed mode. You need to boarder to be able to grab it and move it around.

Windows Key + Shift + Left/Right Arrow

You can also use some of the secret command line arguments.

-X 1920 -Y 0

This will launch the game at that location.

that worked, thank you very much.

I put this in the target area of the shortcut -

"C:\NorbSoftDev\Scourge of War - Gettysburg\SOWGB.exe" -X 1921 -Y 0


This example shifts the monitor from the left monitor to the right monitor (by 1921 pixels).

for those trying to duplicate this go to control panel, then display. Look at the resolution of your primary monitor. Replace the number 1921 with whatever your horizontal resolution is (the first number in the resolution value ex 1024x768, 1920x1200) and add one.


To modify your shortcuts, right click the scourge of war shortcut and choose properties, then modify the "target" portion with the line at the top of this post. Include quotes in the positions shown.

I added this for debugging purposes, for the same reason. That way I can run the game on one screen and see the code on another. I can't remember half the stuff I've added for these purposes, but sometimes a post like yours spurns a memory

**** BUMP this Chicken ****

I just spent 30 minutes going through all of my posts looking for this... Come to think of it I would rather poke myself in my eye with my grab the last pickle finger to ever have to read my past crap again. The search option didn't help much.
