I have 2 monitors and would like to play Cataclysm on my secondary display instead of the primary one. Is there a way to make that happen?

It’s more of a hack than a direct solution, but the best way I can think of is to turn off Fullscreen in the Options menu

and resize the game window to fit your second monitor

then drag it over there. Someone else might know a better way, though.

According to the forum, this is your first time here, so let me be the first to welcome you to the end of the world. May your many deaths be productive.

There is a setting named Display - try using it to change your active display.
