Seriously? Still can't fix the game to stop defaulting to windowed maximized?

I keep setting it to Fullscreen and it keeps resetting to windowed maximized. That seems like some thing basic and shouldn't be hard to fix.

Think there are executable switches to force modes (uses the same as STO and CO so you should get hits if you search)

or they could just fix their game?

Do any of your other graphics settings revert like this?

We may have seen a similar issue happen only one time internally, where someone's window kept reverting to the same location and size on the screen, but haven't seen it again since then.

You may be able to fix it by moving or renaming your GamePrefs.pref file (which probably lives in Neverwinter/Live/Localdata) and letting it generate a new one (this will wipe away all your options, however). I'd like to experiment with a copy of that file too, if you'd care to copy+paste it to me in a PM.

thanks for the response. no, just that one setting. i tried moving that file and launched the game and re-set up the graphic options and it lasted a couple launches and exits and then reset to windowed maximized again. i pm'd you.

I got this same problem, what can I do???

Frequently the game switches from fullscreen to window in its own. Alt-Enter then either sets to the wrong resolution or cycles through what seems random resolutions like 800x600.

It would be nice if the game just sticks to my settings, fullscreen and 1920x1200. I can set those via options but after a while it just jumps into window mode. I even tried to set via launcher command line options: "-w 1920 -h 1200 -fullscreen" but these seem to be not recognized. Not other setttings seem to change on their own like this. It has been like this since the first beta weekend I joined (2 or 3).

Other game settings:
- Vsync: on or off seems not to make a difference
- Renderer dx11
- Resolution 1920x1200, fullscreen, 60z

The following NVIDIA control panel settings I tried on or off but the problem seems the same: Triple buffering, Vertical sync on, of or adaptive

System: Windows 7 64-bit, NVIDIA GeForce 690 GTX (drivers 320.00).

good to know that it's not just an amd issue..

an additional problem is when you try to full screen after windowed mode is that the cursor is no longer where it 'should be'. I mean you point somewhere but it doesn't actually point there internally, you have to point around the button somewhere to get it to target

necro'd this thread
because after two months of playing I suddenly experienced this. all the bugs I've experienced after the last patch. I removed the prefs file as advised and finally got the client to run on fullscreen but the graphics is still muddy. I guess I really can't complain since my PC's specs are low (intel core i3 + nvidia geforce 620) but basically if I run on dx11 (which seems to be on beta) my client would act up again :P

They still haven't fixed it.

Any time I alt+tab to the desktop I come back to the game once again in Windowed Mode.

If I force it to Full screen it will stay that way until I drop to the desktop.

Even if I DONT drop the the desktop, the NEXT time I start the game it will launch in "Maximized Mode" where I see the title bar etc.

There are so many bugs in this game like this. No offense. It's an awesome game from a gameplay perspective, but aside from that I can't tell you how many times I've had to remove the GameplayPrefs file etc to fix weirdness.

GTX 680, i7 920, Windows 7 Pro, 12GB RAM ASUS P6T mobo.

Seriously? Still can't fix the game to stop defaulting to windowed maximized?
