'davies[eef wrote:;1210208']What is this?
The Project Reality discussion board is organized into separate forums.

You posted in 'PR General Discussion' which (as the name implies) is intended for general discussion topics relating to PR.

Because you are essentially asking for technical PR support your thread actually belongs in the 'PR Support' forum.

Hence it was moved by a moderator to the appropriate forum.

Hopefully someone will have experience/knowledge regarding running PR on dual monitors and be able to assist you in resolving your issue. If not try searching on google under related terms.

The easiest way is to make your 2nd monitor your main.
In display settings you should see blue boxes with #1 & #2. Click on #2.Below them to the right you should see two check boxes:
This is my main (unchecked)
Extend the desktop onto this monitor.(checked)
Check mark "This is my main."
That's it.

You can also run PR in 'windows mode'
(instead of running in full screen, it runs in a 'window')
To do so
Right click on PR shortcut.
Choose properties from bottom of list.
Modify the text in your shortcut's 'target' window.

Change
+fullscreen 1
to
+fullscreen 0

Once you have PR running you can 'right' click on the top of PRs blue window frame. This will reveal some extra choices. Choose 'move' and now you can move the PR window over to your other monitor. PR will still start up on whatever main monitor you have set. Sorry
Maybe someone has a better idea?

Good luck

Sorry you must just have:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe"

Change it to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" start +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

You can also add:
+szx 1600 +szy 1200 +restart

To set your in game res to 1600x1200 and restart will skip intro.
