  I have this same issue. If you set the game to monitor 1, then hit the Windows key to get out of the game temporarily it moves it to another monitor.

  I could be misunderstanding your issue, but you can set the monitor you wish to use directly in the game using the second option.

  If I dared to do that my whole steam deck would crash and freeze making me restart it.

  I've experienced in v0.2.0 that even when setting the monitor in settings, when starting the game, it will randomly change to other monitor, so this is an issue. I've also noticed that the monitor numbers are cycling, which is probably the real issues. Even though in my Windows settings these are static, the one in game tagged as 1 or 2 keeps switching, which is why it moves from one to the other. The ones in the attached image were swapped this morning when I played.

  My problem with multiple monitors is that it keeps insisting on running on Monitor #2 even though I change it back to Monitor #1 (when I restart it returns to #2). There is obviously some kind of issue here. It should never automatically change to a secondary monitor when a primary is available.

  I play on dual monitors and have the game set to my main, but it sometimes switches itself in the middle of a task, and every time I alt-tab. It has yet to get me killed in-game, but it does get very frustrating.

  Hi Micah, yes, however, if I hit my windows key and do something else outside the game or alt+tab out, then the display will switch to another monitor, but the setting for which monitor it's supposed to be on doesn't change.
