Exception : Unable to create the graphics device Thread - BlackBox mod for StarDrive

this is generally an multimonitor issue and the game being unable to find its previous monitor selection.

work around for this is to disable all but the wanted monitor to run the game on.

start the game.

it should work. close the game.

enable the other monitors.

the game should use the monitor it started on.

the error looks something like this.

Whoops!
