How to run Playnite in virtual display?

[StrangerGithuber]

Hi,
How I can make it the Playnite app will start in the display screen instead of the primary screen?
If it can't be done then how I make possible the primary screen will be temporarily the virtual screen and when disconnect the session or quit the session then it will revert to the previous primary screen?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

I tried:

• Manually make the virtual display to be primary screen
• I have enabled Always create Virtual Display, Use App Identity, Per Client App Identity
• If I am using the desktop version then it opens correctly in the virtual display however the fullscreen version opens in the previous primary display.
• If I disconnect display 1 and 2 then it works so it opens in the display 3 which is the virtual display created by Apollo. It would be nice if I shouldn't disconnect other displays if I want to use them too same time.

What I have:

• Windows 11 latest version
• Redmagic Astra tablet

During stream, set the virtual display as primary or the only active display.

You only need to do this once.

Yes I did that. I made primary the virtual display like I explained in the beginning. It just doesn't opening the full-screen apps and games like playnite. If I disable other displays and just let to be active the virtual display then it works. Is there no way to have my other 2 displays be active and everything will start instead in the virtual display which has full-screen? I mean if I start normally the apps and games without full-screen then it recognizes that the primary screen is the virtual display. It has somehow problem with the full-screen apps and games. So the settings should be OK. Or maybe the client version needs some settings adjustments? Or both Apollo and Artemis?

This is more of a games and Windows problem rather than Apollo/Artemis, as it is Windows and the game itself that choose where to display. If games are in exclusive full-screen mode, they select the first screen, not necessarily the primary one. Then, in their options, one can change which screen to use.

The easiest way is to disable physical screens when streaming. Do you have any particular need to have other screens active?

Yeah, while gaming or doing other stuffs then I usually watching youtube, coding and/or just browsing. If it is not Apollo/Artemis then sorry for opening this topic. I though there is solution to forcing apps and games maybe with command or something else through virtual display configuration. Thanks anyway for the answers.
