Puddle spans all monitors with twinview, and doesn't handle -windowed launch param.

Puddle runs but since I have 3 monitors and am using Nvidia's twinview to use all of them, since applications tend to detect it as 1 whole screen (which it technically is), this makes the game span the entire 3 screens, which is unusable for me as the other 2 monitors are a totally different resolution than my main one.

Passing as launch parameters, -windowed -width 1920 -height 1080 doesn't work at all. Or even just -windowed alone. I just want to be able to put it in windowed mode, and set the resolution to what I know is right, and drag it onto my main monitor like I can with other games.

Most other games handle this fine, serious sam 3, team fortress, handle this fine.

I also was unable to find a config file in the puddle directory which describes the resolution and setup of the monitors.

Same problem here.

By editing .config/Puddle/Settings.dat and setting the resolution of my center screen, Puddle seemed to find the right monitor and use that. So that kinda worked.
