Ok im new to linux. so im limited on how to provide data as to what is happening on my computer. I installed VO went to bin started there. all was fine. Game updated. When i push play is where things go wrong. I have dual monitors. All the icons on my screen enlarge swap to the secondary monitor. My main monitor turn to a black screen. I hear this is your first run tutorial and the other sounds. Computer becomes unresponsive. I am forced then to push ctrl-alt-f1. Login and kill the process. I tried this in Ubuntu. So i decided to try in a different distro. Debian Same thing happen. So i decided to try another, Linuxmint. The exact same thing happened on 3 different distros.

So now i am on Linuxmint. Im not sure what to do at this point. Please help me to fix this. I really dont want to go back to Window.

In my experience, VO doesn't really handle dual-screen very well in fullscreen mode, at least on Linux. I've never played it on other platforms, so I can't speak for those. You might be able to get the game running if you temporarily disable your second screen. You should have a GUI option for doing this, but I'm not familiar with those distros so you'll have to figure that out yourself. Personally, I just use the xrandr command when I need to do this. In my case, the command to temporarily disable my second screen looks like this:

xrandr --output DP-5 --off

And I bring it back up later with this (or just reboot):

xrandr --output DP-5 --auto
xrandr --output DP-5 --right-of DVI-D-0

Your screens will probably have different names than DP-5 and DVI-D-0, however. You can find them by running xrandr without any parameters. It'll output a few entries that look like "DVI-D-0 connected" or "DP-0 connected", etc. The stuff before the word "connected" is the screen name, and it will usually reflect the type of connection your monitor uses.

Anyway, you probably don't want to keep disabling and enabling your screens to play VO. Once you get the game running, my recommendation is to go into the options and switch it to windowed mode. Then you can leave both screens active and just play with the game in a large window on whichever screen you prefer.

Depending on which window manager you use, you should be able to go a step further and disable the titlebar and borders of VO's window, letting you use a pseudo-fullscreen mode. If you don't know how to do this, try right-clicking the titlebar and seeing if there's a "Fullscreen" or "Hide Decorations" option listed. With IceWM (and possibly XFWM) you can also just use Alt-F11. I don't know how much of a standard that keybinding is; it wasn't present in Openbox when I switched to that recently, but I was able to bind it by adding the appropriate "ToggleFullscreen" action in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml. You might have to consult a manual or wiki to figure out how to do this with whatever WM your distro uses, but it seems like it's a common feature even if it isn't always easily accessible by default.

Thank you Pizzasgood. This almost worked. I guess what is not really supported well with VO is HDMI led monitor. I have both types of monitors. On the serial connection Vo will run but it but it definitely does not like my system. When it runs it will not run on anything but the lowest setting resolution. I dont know why but it turns my hdmi monitor off. Switches to serial monitor and reduces my resolution to the lowest possible. Everything on the monitor is so big. very pixelated too.

I wonder if i switch to the new wayland server over the x-org server if that would have an effect. Will have to give that a try. At least now i know where the problem is. maybe i can tweak it to run properly.

Thanks
