Hi there,

i just installed Disciples 2 and wanted to replay the game again.

i was surprised to see the game starting on my second monitor (im using two monitors), this is just a little annoyance but i still wanted the game to start on my main screen.

After some searching and trying i didnt found a working solution, if i deactivate Direct3D in the config the Game starts on my main screen but is unplayable slow :/. Has anyone else encountered the same problem and found a sloution?

Hi i know this is an old topic, but did you somehow manage to get it to work on the main screen? Becouse i have just the same problem, but i have secondary monitor a small one, just for PC info (temp, OC etc) and play on 15" 4:3 monitor is not a joy...

i have given up on this problem, so sorry cant help you :/

Haveing the same issue.. I have noticed when i go to the setting ( Located at galaxy launcher "More/Other/Settings") i can uncheck the "Use Direct 3D". Then the game starts EXTREMLY slow but is starts on my 1 monitor. Otherwise on the 2.
So i belive we have to dig in the Direct 3D setting somehow. And another thing.. When i launc the game with the "Use Direct 3D" i have the option to press Win key+Shift+Right arrow. THe the aplication goes to the 1 monitor but in a little box. This is all i have discoverd so far.

Had the same issues, tried stuff from steam forums, checking, unchecking options in a config file, running as admin, compability mode and so on. Eventually I got it to run by unchecking D3D, but was pretty slow in places (map especially, some menus). Alt-tabbing out of game and coming back helped, but it made transparency on game's textures pink...

Out of curiosity I disabled my second monitor and voila - game runs great! Using D3D with sounds and everything!

tl;dr

If you have TWO or more monitors running - DISABLE one from windows' screen settings and you should be good to go!

This is what worked for me:
- disable "Use Direct3D" and enable "Compatibility mode"
- download and install DirectX version of dgVoodoo 2

The game runs for me then properly on primary monitor in normal speed using 1280x1024 resolution and "Default" refresh rate.

disciples 2 says cant initialize wont start anybody know why

Try Verok's patch "verokster.blogspot.com/2019/03/disciples-i-ii-gl-wrapper-patch.html"
It reditrecs graphics to OpenGL and adds HD resolutions with 32bpp
I didn't test it on secnd screen, but It might help. Just try lauch game from second screen, or otherwise go into windowed mode (F4) and move it onto second screen
