    Bug: switching to fullscreen mode

    Steps to reproduce:

    1.) Go into settings and switch the game to "Fullscreen Mode"

    Expect: Switch to fullscreen mode
    Actual: Sometimes, the game freezes and you need to ALT-F4

    Expect: Once switched to fullscreen mode, it saves the setting
    Actual: Once you quit the game, the settings revert to "Windowed" mode

    The fix for this has always been to disable the Uplay overlay.

    I only ever revert to fullscreen windowed if the application doesn't open in the front, so once I click play on the Uplay app I can't do anything else until the game launches otherwise it will background and revert. Then when trying to change back to fullscreen it freezes and I have to relaunch, change it, and remember never to let the game background until fully launched again.

    Jarodokc, I tried your suggestion and it didnt' work for me.

    However, even if it did, that's not a fix.

    New bug then, disabling UPlay always worked for me before the PTS and continues to work with the PTS.

    Over 7 months since the game came out, and we still have to disable the UBISOFT OVERLAY to avoid constant crashing to desktop...

    Can confirm, STILL AN ISSUE.
