Good day, I have a problem that the game refuses to switch to fullscreen it keeps running in windowed mode anyway. Gefroce gtx 965m, 16 gb ram, windows 8.1, drivers updated. Thanks for the answers 🙂 [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwh9h5wfD7Z8enhIVHBFZ044Wms/view](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwh9h5wfD7Z8enhIVHBFZ044Wms/view) - screenshot ---

Have you tried swapping to Borderless then back to Fullscreen? ---

Weird. I also had that issue with Far Cry 3 back in the day. Try a clean reinstall and see if that fixes anything. ---

Check your virtual desktop… sometimes it wont expand, because the res is larger than actual Windows. ---

Do you have TeamViewer running? If so, close it. ---

Also I noticed that when I’m switching to windowed mode there is no option “apply video settings”, maybe it can give a clue. And borderless looks like fullscreen, but I can’t adjust resolution then. ---

Also no Full-screen here, but in the Beta it was fine (?). gtx970… ---

Go to your taskbar and kill it from the little icon thing. Then check Task Manager. Sometimes it stays resident and will screw up many games… All BF games seem effected by it running. see if you also have any “overlay” graphics running, like Fraps overlays, RivaTuner, etc… ---

Happened on first play this morning. Had to go to screen settings in game and tab over off of windowed mode. Also had to turn off Origin notifications because they were pulling me out of the game every time. ---
