Multi-monitor

In some cases, it is reported to work perfectly fine out of the box, but in several cases, especially with AMD cards, the game does not seem to recognize any resolution beyond a single monitor. A specific game launcher, called RomTerraria 2.0 will allow you to launch the game at the desired resolution.
