Issue: The linux version of Northgard starts on a screen/display it selects randomly by itself;
it offers no way to choose it or set display mode. It also changes/distorts the display on other screens in the process.
Solution I found:
1. find the config files. They are located in the installation directory, subdirectory "game" ( same where the executable is ).
2. edit the options.ini text file
3. change "DisplayMode = 1" to "DisplayMode = 0".
4. start game; it should start in windowed mode, and is resizable now.
You can also try to set ResolutionWidth/ResolutioHeight or give a value for Monitor there;
since the file is entirely undocumented to my knowledge, all is just guesswork, trial, and error.
If you have improvements, or a link to the config documentation, please comment.
I hope this helps others who encounter this problem.
