Multi monitor bug
When I start the game, the splash screen of it comes up fine and then my monitors just start flashing and I can hear the game audio stuttering.
The only way to stop it is ctrl alt del to bring up the menu...then I can see the game in the corner of my main monitor but if i try and click any button in the menu of it, it goes back to stuttering and flashing monitors again.

What is your monitor setup? Clone? Span? 2 Independent screens?
We all have 2 screens and it works well for us, but we only run the game on 1 screen and never try to span it. You could try to set it windowed if that helps.

In installdir\Solus\Config\DefaultGameUserSettings.ini you can change FullscreenMode=0 and LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0 to 1 2 or 3 and see if that helps.

2 independant screens
I changed them both from 0 to 1....the game starts up and it goes to the main menu but there is still stuttering and my mouse flashes. When I move the mouse, it just flashes and goes back to the center of the screen. The only way to exit again is ctrl alt del

Sounds more like an input thing if the mouse is snapping to the center? Any controllers attached? Steering wheels, joysticks, wacoms etc?

Nope, just keyboard and mouse.

I do use a program called Mouse Without Borders. Could that impact it?

Maybe, any non standard program can have an impact.
Try to shut down all extra stuff and then see if that helps?

I am having this exact same problem. Strange thing is that the game worked just fine a few weeks ago. Any updates on this issues or things to try resolve it?

UPDATE: Restarting my system and launching the game again seemed to fix the issue. I will report back if I can figure out what program running in the background/method causes the bug to occur, as it must be something I do after a typical restart that causes the issue.

@dev: Would be nice if there is an Option in the Settings ;-)


Use the Start-Parameter Feature from steam to start the game on different monitor.

RightClick on the Game -> Properties -> General -> Start Options -> Insert
-WinX=1920 -WinY=0

works for me
Have fun =)
