Still cant full screen ( Dual monitor )

Every time I boot game up the primary display will go black for around 5 seconds and then the game will minimize. It will do this every time I click the icon on the system tray.

It only started happening when I installed my second GTX 1080.

It will full screen with 1 monitor active but not two.

It’s only this game. No other game has this issue.

I’ve …

  • Updated drivers
  • Clean reinstalled drivers
  • Reinstalled game / Tried repair

Make sure you have a monitor selected in-game and not “Best Match.”

No. Selecting a specific monitor didn’t help.

I’ve also disabled all DSR functions and tried different monitors to no avail.

EDIT : The game will full screen on my 4K 60hz G-Sync monitor but not my 144hz display.

And yes I’ve tried disabling G-SYNC during my attempts which also didn’t work.

Okay, need to clarify what you said in OP.

And it won’t open again? Or what do you mean by minimize? It stays on the task bar? It runs in a smaller window?

Which icon in the system tray? Overwatch shouldn’t have an icon there. Are you talking about the task bar along the bottom, or the system tray that is only in the bottom right corner?

Ok sorry for my utterly terrible tech terminology. I’ll try explain as best as I can

  1. Boot game from blizzard app

  2. The whole game will cause screen to go black 4-5 times before it minimizes to task bar ( next to start menu )

  3. I can’t do anything.

  4. Forced game close and restart from bnet app causes the game to start in window mode with no issues.

  5. Attempting to manually select the primary monitor and set full screen causes a repeat of “2.”

All the following have been attempted.

  • Reinstall game
  • Reinstall app + game
  • Update nvidia drivers
  • Attempted to repair game
  • Disabled G-SYNC in second monitor ( primary monitor doesn’t support G-SYNC but secondary does )
  • Disabled DSR ( Dynamic Super Resolution )
  • Ensured there are no forced video settings in nvidia control panel
  • Attempted to full screen at a lower resolution than native

Have you disabled “full screen optimization” on both Overwatch .exe and Overwatch Launcher .exe ?

I don’t have that option ( after doing a google search for where its meant to be. ) It might be in a windows update. I’ll try update windows and try again.

will update this post.

To clarify, Fullscreen Optimization won’t be an option on Windows 7. This is specific to Windows 10 after the Spring Creator Update.

As for the issue, we’ve seen this caused by third party programs in the past, mainly teamviewer. If you have teamviewer installed, try removing it and test. If there’s still issues let’s run a program called Windows Focus Logger. In the program you’ll want to click the Start button. From there, try launching the game and see if any applications get logged when the game minimizes.

FIXED

According to nvidia control panel, my main monitor was the primary display but was not the “Focus display” I had to disconnect the secondary monitor through nvidia control panel and re-enable it again for it to swap the focus display to my main.

It now works with no issues ( That I’ve seen so far. )
