Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have a dual screen setup. I use argument -phased_window_create to launch Dota on the primary monitor. However, since patch 7.36, Dota launches on the wrong monitor.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. configure Dota with -phased_window_create arg
2. Launch Dota2

Greetings, you can try to use launch option:

-sdl_displayindex 0

Replace 0 with number of your display, e.g. if you want to display dota on your primary display use 0. I run dota on my second screen and using 1 index

tried both options dota 2 started on my secondary screen.

A work around for this issue is

1. Turn off secondary monitor
2. Start dota 2
3. After dota is fully launched turn on secondary monitor

Dota will stay on the primary monitor and remains in place even after alt-tab.

Looks like issue is fixed today.
