I have two monitors on my main computer.

The wide/landscape monitor is primary, at 1920x1080. (40" monitor)
The tall/portrait monitor is secondary, at 1080x1920 (27" monitor)

The new Windows client goes straight to full-screen mode on the portrait monitor. I believe the game window would be 1080x608. It's too small to read easily.

Here's a pic of both monitors after starting the game.

Normally, full-screen games grab the primary monitor, or the monitor which the mouse is in when the program starts.

If only it was that easy. My primary screen is on the right. If the game assumes that the left-most monitor is primary, it would have this wrong behavior.

Which monitor is your primary?

None of the other programs or games that I use get stuck on the left screen. Sometimes they'll open if the focus is on the left, which can be acceptable.

Normally, I use the left-screen for documents I'm reading or writing; reference books (or sites); or status monitoring in games. When I'm playing "heavy" games, I usually keep CPU, memory, and video utilization and temperatures on.

I like how your desktop is setup with your dual monitors.
I've been thinking about doing that with a 3rd monitor.

The reason that's happening is the game is design for wide screen atm. so it will match the width of the screen.

You will have to wait till I come up with more game views.
The view you will have to use is probably the collapse console view I plan to make. Where you will see mostly the galaxy map with icons on the side. Then make some options where you can customize the in game windows sizes.

right now I'm finishing up the rest of the windows in the game so everyone has to bare with me.

I don't know what is with it going into full screen though. I have full screen disabled lol.

maybe its a bug with Unity.
I plan to do do a patch for Unity in a few days.

I fixed the full screen issue.
When you load the game next time it will take you into full screen mode and then it will put you into windows mode. The next time you load the game again it will load in windows mode for now on.
