This bug still exists for those of us running multi-monitor setups.

Before anyone hops in here and says something ignorant about an Eyefinity setup or Surround sight, allow me to be clear: Not everyone with multiple monitors has, needs or is using an Eyefinity or Surround Sight setup. Quite a few of us just have multiple monitors for (wait for it): Multi-tasking!

Unplugging any extraneous monitors corrects this, but I shouldn't have to unplug additional monitors from my video card(s) just to play this one game. A more permanent solution would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the developer's intention to prevent gamers with multiple monitor setups from playing. It's most likely a bug that's crept up in the latest build. But yes, I do agree that the issue needs to be fixed. I'm having the same problem and I also have two monitors hooked up (not in Eyefinity mode).

I also get this error,however there is a quick work around that doesn't involve unplugging the extra monitor.

To get the game to play I set windows to "Show desktop only on #" .
I get there in Win7 by right clicking on the desktop then selecting Screen Resolution



System is Win7 X64,16GB's ram,crossfire AMD 6870's,12.8 drivers
