ZoeBallz Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 I have a 2 monitor system. My 2nd monitor is rarely used, normally just when I stream. For some reason the installer has now decided to ALWAYS open on the wrong (2nd) monitor so I have to turn the monitor on just to run Aslain's !!! I've included logs but not sure what use they will be as I have not even run the game at all since installing #16. The previous version I had was #11 I think. If I drag and drop the window onto the main monitor it works fine but the next time I run it, it's back on the 2nd monitor again ! Many thanks Zoe Aslains_WoT_Logs.zip Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted September 14, 2020 Administrator Posted September 14, 2020 I will release new installer later today, please check it when you have time and give some feedback, I have 1 monitor only, so it's hard to check. Quote
ZoeBallz Posted September 14, 2020 Author Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Just tried it but you haven't updated yet so plz ignore this screenshot which is absolutely worthless !!! Edited September 14, 2020 by ZoeBallz Cos I can't read !! Quote
Bavor Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I have a dual monitor system and don't have this issue with the installer. I've tried most mod pack versions v.1.10.0.1_00 through v.1.10.0.1_15 so far after the latest game update. This may help: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-start/default-display-for-applications-under-win10-and/850fcd2c-e295-4a16-9053-69f1eec8b592 Quote

Not one single other application does this at all. Also I have Win7 although that probably won't make much difference. My main monitor is default for everything and always has been. The 2nd monitor has only ever been used for popouts e.g. when using OBS 1 Quote

One time, for some reason, Windows thought your other monitor was the primary monitor then changed the default location for the mod pack. Windows 10 and Widows 7 basically work the same way with program default locations when you start them. I've had the same problem before where Windows swapped what was the primary monitor one time for some strange reason and some programs would always open on the other monitor. Quote

Well I have tried moving it and closing then re-opening etc etc etc and nothing makes any difference. I have even deleted the original and re-downloaded so it's a totally new executable and it still did it !! 1 Quote
zzarac Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 The same thig is happening to me as well. Also, that small window with progress bar before installer opens is actually centered between my two monitors, so I can see half on one monitor, half on the other. The modpack installer itself loads on a "wrong" monitor, but that has started happening only a few iterations back, just like with @ZoeBallz I have also tried closing and reopening, but no change. This is not a big deal for me because I have my both monitors powered on the whole time, but I can see how it can frustrate if you have the secondary powered off. 1 Quote

Administrator Aslain Posted September 15, 2020 Administrator Posted September 15, 2020 Can you try WoWs installer and tell me if you experience the same? Quote

Administrator Aslain Posted September 15, 2020 Administrator Posted September 15, 2020 Great :) Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted September 15, 2020 Administrator Posted September 15, 2020 @ZoeBallz @zzarac Could you test this for me against the problem you had in the OP? In this test installer the progress bar is removed, and there is also some internal changes to the preview system. http://www.mediafire.com/file/2pph3azsqg69d11/Aslains_WoT_Modpack_Installer_v.1.10.0.1_18_test.exe Quote
zzarac Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) @Aslain I have tried your test installer and it works pretty much the same as #17 did. No problems with the two monitor setup, at least for me. The progress bar is still there though, but for a much shorter time. Edited September 16, 2020 by zzarac speeling Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted September 16, 2020 Administrator Posted September 16, 2020 Thank you, yes that was the point ro reduce it, so it doesnt have to fill up. Quote
ZoeBallz Posted September 16, 2020 Author Posted September 16, 2020 I've never had a problem with the AV with Aslain's before ?!?!? Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted September 16, 2020 Administrator Posted September 16, 2020 Rare file as you can see, nothing to worry... Quote
ZoeBallz Posted September 16, 2020 Author Posted September 16, 2020 @Aslain Started it up. Loaded on the right screen :) Quote
