[PC]Can't change Windowed to Fullscreen | Forums

[bassitic_grunge]

If you're launching from Steam, you can press "alt+enter" to go full screen. It's a shame you can't change the settings ingame.

Have this problem as well... I simply fixed it for the time beeing by using alt+enter. It allows me to enter windowed borderless, which is not optimal but at least it is better than than windowed... Hope you find a fix soon

Unfortunatly borderless window is the same as windowed when it comes to the drop in fps. I am at a constant 25 with the lowest possible settings. Get kicked out of the game and can't play. I did however not have this issue when i played in the afternoon today...

Hello!
It would be very valuable to get your DxDiag files to resolve the issue.

Do you run multiple GPUs in your PCs?
Does your CPU have an integrated GPU?
To what GPU is your main monitor connected to?
Do you typically run SLI or CrossFire setups?
In case you have multiple monitors: Do you potentially try to switch the game to fullscreen on a monitor that is not connected to your dedicated GPU?

There are some command line options you could test:

/gfxadapter:<index>:   Value starting at 0... Selects the GPU for rendering
/displayoutput:<index>  Value starting at 0... Selects the Output device for rendering
/allowexclfullscreen:on Enables support for exclusive fullscreen rendering
/fullScreen:on  Enables fullscreen

Example:

ForHonor.exe /allowexclfullscreen:on /fullScreen:on /gfxadapter:0 /displayoutput:0

If one of the command line options resolves the issue for you, please let us know!


Thank you!

One more thing:
Before you try the suggestions above, please store your options.ini file.
If you can resolve your issue, please send your ( faluty? ) options.ini file.

Same problem here.

When Fullscreen is selected and applied it rollsback to windowed / borderless
FPS lower than expected.

System specs:
CPU: i7/4750HQ
8Gb RAM

Graphics: GTX950m (nvidia drivers:376.33) (Forced in nVidia control panel)

(also have an integrated intel HD4400) not in use..

OS: Win10(x64)

Tried the shortcuts on .exe it just removes the fullscreen option ingame.
altered .ini no improvement.

Any other option?

So i found this possible solution in another thread:

No problem.

Actually I believe I have found a better work-around.

In the "options.ini" file, If you delete the entry

"SelectedAdapterDeviceId=XXXX"

The game starts up in fullscreen mode with all your settings.

I'm not a game developer so I don't know why this setting is causing it, but removing this line fixes it until the next restart of the game.

Hope this helps.

I can't try it, since my game says "no connection to the for honor servers" at this time, but maybe one of you is lucky.

Edit:
Update: tried it myself today and this solution works for me!
However when I tab out from the game and back in again, I will have the menu and certain other parts of the game flicker rapidly. Had a similar issue in another game and it was somehow linked with monitors that are connected to a notebook via HDMI, and the build in GPU on the i7 processors. Dont know if this is the case here, too though.
