Game does not remember fullscreen setting

For some reason, the game does not remember the full screen setting. Whether I set it in the launcher or in the game or even manually in the prefs file. It might remember it for one log in but then the next time I log in, it has reset the screen setting back to window mode. I have changed nothing in the settings, the drivers, nothing but it just keeps resetting itself to window mode. Anyone else seem to have this very strange issue. I haven't ever had a game do this before and don't even have a clue why. If anyone has an idea how to solve this issue, please let me know. Thanks.

    I get this all the time with the DX11 renderer, even tabbing out makes it revert to windowed, it's quite irritating. I reluctantly went back to the DX9ex renderer, even though stuff looks a lot less glowy now..

    I get the same problem, it's highly annoying because I don't want to game running in the background even if its only a few FPS when I alt tab.

    I suspect this problem is caused by multiple monitors. Bug has been around for forever. I doubt the devs care about our problems in that regard, after all it doesn't prevent us from buying Zen does it?

    Nope, in my case, it happens with only one monitor, always using the DX11 renderer. I've never plugged one of the other monitors into that machine.

    I'd like to add my name to the list of people with this problem.
