Explanation
I am first experiencing this bug after 700 hours of gameplay but it is now constantly affecting me, while in borderless windowed mode my game is stuck on the incorrect monitor, likely because my motherboard has designated it as monitor 1 so it is what the game defaults to. There is no option in game to change what monitor the game is displayed on, so when I use the WIN+Shift+arrow key feature to move the application from 1 monitor to another, it works until I press something on my mouse or keyboard and the application just goes straight back to monitor 1. It is extremely odd, out of the hundreds of games I've played this is the first time I've ever seen it. I don't know if this is what happens on everyone's machine but I have a video example of it.
In the video, my left monitor is the desired monitor, and after changed from fullscreen to borderless windowed, it changes to the undesired monitor.

This project restricts device information visibility.You can try pressing Alt + Enter, which will window the game, then move it to the correct monitor, then Alt + Enter again for fullscreen
So there is no solution if I want to play in borderless windowed?
We dont know a solution specific to your setup. It works as intended, but something with your setup is causing this issue. Did you try the solution i mentioned?
I did, I was always able to play fullscreen properly. I'm only here because I've spent hours trying to fix this issue myself and because of how incredibly odd it is. In the 100+ games I've played in my life I've never experienced anything like it before. I am not surprised that you can't replicate the issue, I mainly wanted to make the team aware of the issue and hopefully see that we get an option to choose what monitor the game gets displayed on in the settings like most games have in the future once you're back to updating DRG. I appreciate any response at all, I just don't want the issue being considered "resolved" as of now.
