    Cannot enter full screen mode

    I cannot choose full screen, and yes - Ive done the tutorial, what happens is that my screen flickers and then goes back to windowmode, I can choose windowed without borders, but this takes more memory and also I cannot change the resolution, please help! My graphic card is gtx860m.

    "Solution"

    Hey, I have the same problem and I think I found the reason for it. With Laptops you have two graficcards: Intel and Nvidia(or AMD). When the game decides to use one of those it chooses Nvidia. But your Nvidia card does not construct your desktop, that is intel's job. So the game does not find a display that is used by nvidia and therefore goes on to choose a window which is displayed on your main(and only) display. Yay! The problem could be solved if you get to display your desktop with your nvidia card or with removing a forced video card in your Nvidia settings.

    If you solve it, tell me pls!

    I find it VERY alarming that someone at Ubi thinks this. This is NOT a fix for people with xxxM nvidia cards. Deleting the options.ini does NOT work. Resetting to defaults does NOT work. At this time there is no fix.

    It's like this. If you have a nvidia xxxM card in your notebook, this game (AND ONLY THIS GAME) will not do true fullscreen. All you can get is borderless windowed mode which sacrifices far too many frames to be useful.

    Please understand that we nvidia mobile users DO NOT HAVE A FIX AT THIS TIME!

    Guys, do what they other guy said. Go into the settings and look at the bottom right, it says press f1 to reset to default. This will let you put it into full screen, worked for me no problem. I doubt it has anything to do with your video cards.

    Can we get rid of this ****ing captcha also, UBISOFT isn't that popular, nobody wants to spam your forums ffs.

    Sorry I forgot to include, reseeting to defaults does NOT work either.

    At this time there is NO KNOWN GOOD workaround for nvidia mobile card users that want to use a true full screen mode.

    It does not work for me, do you also use a laptop? Neither does it work deleting the optionfile or anything like that...
