Weird Far Cry 2 problem - No fullscreen

Fullscreen ended, and now it won't go back???

By Frijs 5 years ago

Okay.. so I was playing Far Cry 2 and suddenly the screen goes black and the game starts running in a window sized 5/6 of my screen.. so I save, quit the game, and go to sleep (Because it was like 3 in the morning) and today I run it and it starts up in the same sized window.. anybody know what the hell is happening???

I didn't see any "Fullscreen: [x]/[ ]" option ?

EDIT: Btw, i'm running a widescreen resolution of 1680 x 1050 on DirectX 10, most settings on high / very high

    I think Ctrl+Enter might work. Mine went to windowed when I alt tabbed though. IDK I prefer it windowed anyway.

    Well, another way to do it is editing the gamerprofile wich can be found in Documents > My Games > Far Cry 2.

    If Alt+Enter won't work edit that file (open it as you would do with a text file) with the notepad and change Fullscreen "0" to "1".

    I wonder if "+fullscreen 1" would work on the shortcut (like -window for windowed mode.)

    Heres a tut on windowed mode.

    Heres a tut on a bunch of other shortcut tricks.

    IMO, Windowed mode is superior in most games, that way I can keep track of IRL time.

    I put +fullscreen 1 in my shortcut and edited my game profile settings to set full screen and aspect ratio.

    the boi is gone from FPSB
