System specifications

What did you do to get this issue?
Two monitor setup. RedM used to always open on my main monitor. While in-game, I turned my main monitor off, and the game switched to display on my second screen (wide-screen) since it will only open on the second screen. If I force it to open on my main screen by selecting only one screen in Windows settings, it shows in a wide-screen-like window mode and crashes.

What server did you get this issue on?
All

Also add what you already tried so far.

  • Verified RDO files on steam
  • Changed graphic and monitor settings in RDO (RDO) opens on the correct screen.
  • Deleted and reinstalled RedM
  • Various changes in Windows display settings to no avail including swap of main monitor, display only on one screen etc.
