[2.1.14] Settings to select monitor disapeared

Post by yscialom »

Hello all,

After switching from 2.0 to 2.1 I can no longer find the setting to select the "preferred screen".

Please find the technical information needed below. Any help would be appreciated.

---

System
  • Linux/Ubuntu 26.04 amd64 Gnome/Wayland
  • Steam
  • 2 monitors :
    • 1/ 2k resolution
    • 2/ 4k resolution [Primary Display]
[2.1] Observed behaviour
When starting Factorio 2.1 Expermental, the game starts and displays on monitor #1.
Going into Settings > Graphics, I see no option to switch and persist toward primary display monitor #2.

Expected behaviour
Going into Settings > Graphics, an option allows to select display #1/display #2/system's primary display. It persists even after stopping/relaunching the game.

[2.0] Observed behaviour before switching to experimental
See Expected behaviour.

Additional Information
No mods are enabled.

Attached:
  • Graphics settings in 2.0 (other machine, but identical to what I remember on mine)
  • Graphics settings in 2.1
  • notice the "Preferred screen" option.
