    No, I have dual monitors and I'm fine. Try setting your resolution in %APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2\config.xml to your native desktop resolution.

    Some are some arent.
    There seems to be no correllation between the brand (ATi or nVidia) nor the PC (AMD or Intel) as to why this happens for some and not others yet.
    Hopefully this issue will arise in sufficent people that UW investigate it
    thats what im hoping for anyways

    What i did to make it kinda work on my dual screens was
    1) open windows explorer
    2) enter %APPDATA% into the navigation box
    3) Go to Natural Selection 2 Folder
    4) Opened "options" with notepad
    5) Set <fullscreen>false</fullscreen>
    6) Set <y-resolution>1050</y-resolution>
    7) Set <x-resolution>1680</x-resolution>
    8) Saved and closed

    Then when i run NS2 it still uses the starting window but sets it as big as my monitors desktop resolution so it fills the screen.
    As i say im hoping for a fix and it should happen being this is alpha
    When tho is anyones guess :)

    I get the same issue when trying to run fullscreen with dual monitors. My quick fix is to run windowed, but apparently unplugging your other monitor has worked for some.
