[2.1.14] Settings to select monitor disapeared
Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2026 7:06 pm
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
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.
