    Fullscreen problem

    Hey, I'm having a problem with playing the game on fullscreen as it doesn't allow me to play in it at all, I changed the option in game and it juat goes back to windowed mode, I also tried changing it from the gamerprofile, in my documents and that doesn't save either. Is anyone else having this problem?? Also I have tried alt+enter but the screen just goes black but I can hear the music and navigate and I have to alt+enter again to see what's happening.

    Any fixes or solutions would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I have had it boot up twice and switch to a window but for me going into the option screen and switching it back to fullscreen mode worked.

    Are you playing as Administrator?, if not try that.

    Hi, can I ask how you fixed this? I'm having a similar problem as it won't let me play in borderless mode.

    I shut down Teamviewer and fullscreen switched on easily after that

    Right click on the .Exe file and then left click on "Run as Administrator" . If you make a shortcut on your desktop you can always go to the properties and in one of the Advance buttons you will have the option to click on the Run as administrator" as well.

    Running as administrator does not solve the problem for me. The settings revert back to borderless or windowed anytime I try to change them to full screen. I should have learned my lesson about purchasing ubisoft games on PC but I am hard headed. Hopefully I remember this time. UBI cannot release a game on PC without myriad issues.

    Having the exact same problem over here.

    I actually have Teamviewer running, but after shutting that down nothing changed either..
    Running it from Administrator permissions doesn't do anything as well.

    ALT + Enter will enable borderless, and then once more will activate fullscreen like on any other game... except with Far Cry 4, it just goes black until I go back into borderless... sucks...

    Okay, looks like I resolved the issue literally right after complaining about it haha. I Just disabled my second monitor in the Nvidia control panel and then selected Fullscreen scaling for my main monitor. Works perfect now.
