only if it worked all for Nazi Zombies too. When single player campaign and Offline Zombies {local game} don't work well on same settings...... despite 144+fps solid ,no lags

Hey guys I'm having an issue with my dual monitor setup. WW2's dual monitor mode defaults to the right screen but I want the game to run on the left monitor. I don't see a way to change this in that setting so is there another way to fix it?

Just did a refund on this game and then I found this post, my prob was the settings and unable to select full screen after playing in full screen, my desk top recommended resolution was no longer listed along with a few other things that were out of sync with my surround monitor set up, just built a high end Pc that should Wee over this game and it did as I played until I died by bayonet in the bunkers storming the beach, no probs, smooth and clear graphics with great detail, start game this morning and the resolution is all messed up as above with the native resolution well below my recommended of 4320 x 2560, which it was on.

Question: Is there a full default option? (so I can re-buy while it is on sale and give these settings a go).

Wish I had found this post sooner

You should write in the top that Filmic dont work if you have SLI....That was well known with AW.

100% resoluution,No sync,no aliasing,Evrything high or normal, fov 95 (ofc), no shader preload only makes game lag, no blur, low depth of field ( u cant see enemy when its blurry...) and no ambient. Then just put fxaa and high quality on in nvidias control panel, that works perfectly for me atleast. I5 3570k 3.8ghrz, 970, and 16gb ram

TBH I haven't seen screen tear for a number of years. I don't see screen tear with G-Sync turned off. My monitor is 1ms trace free, I am not going to see screen tear. My last monitor didn't have G-Sync but the response time was low 1-2ms so I don't see how that works. G-Sync is only good for single player games, I don't need it and don't use it. My games are much much smoother with it off playing online FPS.
