Factorio Forums

Hello, i have tried running the demo of Factorio and i have encountered a problem when running it on external monitor(through hdmi).
I have a laptop that is connected to external monitor. The game on a laptop screen runs normally, but when i try to run it on my external monitor, the size of the game window is dramatically reduced.
You can see on the very top left corner the actual game window, but i cannot maximize it in any way.

hey try checking the config.ini in your factorio usedata folder thing Check things like the 'fullscreen = true' and for preferred screen index.

That's what i have inside configuration file.
The game seems to work since it can respond to my mouse clicks. the only problem is that the window size is very small and i cannot see anything.
BTW i am running x64 version of the game.

I'm not sure if it might be different for you, but with my two monitors the preferred screen index was either a 0 or 1, try either of those and it might help.
