Game now fails to load with multiple screens on computer - black screen issue

For years I ran the game on one of 2 to 3 screens. But then it stopped working so I took a break from the game. Now i'm back and it's still not working.

So, I start the game and get a black screen and the game stops responding. Tried verifying, re-installing, compatibility modes. Nothing worked save for if I disconnect all screens but one, it will run fine on a single screen computer.

I feel like i'm living in the past, restricted to a single screen.

Does anyone know how to force it out of this restriction? I tried running all screens at the same resolution and specifying an aspect ratio in-game, which hasn't fixed it.

Windows 11 64-bit
I9-11900KF 3.50 GHz
24GB Memory
GeForce RTX 3060

    Actually starting the game on single screen and then adding the other screens after it's already running worked. It's an irritating solution, but hopefully helps anyone else having the same problem.
