I have used 2 monitors for a long time but recently bought a new big screen as a treat for myself. I plug it in and play my games…all is fine. Every single game starts up on the new (primary) screen no issues. Except for WoW…WoW will launch with TOTALLY RANDOM settings every time I start it. It may be on the left screen, it may be on the right screen. So far has never once been the primary even tho thats what I set it to every time. It also changes the screen ratio each time, seemingly randomly selecting one of my 3 screen sizes.
There should be a setting to set which screen wow uses. Instead of setting to primary, try setting it to screen 1 or 2.
It might also depend on the video card and it’s settings
FWIW, my dual-screen setup works fine. Zero confusion about which display the game will come up on because of the setting Kozzae mentioned.
If anything, the consistency is annoying on the rare occasions I dual-box because I have to mess with the settings in one running copy of WoW to shift one of the game instances to the other screen.
I’m not disputing your (as they say it) lived experiences, but it’s not systemic or absolute.
