Well I make it short I'm actually a bit shamed to ask such a noobish question.

how to I enable full screen. FO is always starting in window mode. I've searched for config files but didn't find any game setting related cfg. file.

The search function brought nothing usefull it's infact not very accurate at all. By time you should improve the search function here in the boards.

Anyway I tried to press alt Enter that usually makes a window in full screen it did not weird.

The ingame settings show that I haven't the window mode enabled and I'm running at 1280x720 (laptop.) I'm also not running with compatibiliy mode and have it enabled there.


Any idea?

If you mean before starting a game (Main menu & game setup), it's an intentional feature to make chatting on Tunngle while setting up a game easier. I don't personally like it and blame it for the visual error up the side of the screen ingame, but can see the reason behind it.

Hopefully, it's made an optional thing in a future version. Not everyone uses Tunngle.

you cant, the game will go full screen when you launch the game. the menus are locked in window mode.

what used to happen is that people would click to go online, the game would start scanning the odfs for version mismatch and alt+ent wouldnt respond as the game wont respond while odf scan is in progress. so people were stuck in full screen until the scan completed.

FO will always start in windowed mode as far as I know, as it is a performance fix
As soon as you enter the game it will go to full screen  ^-^

@Tyler: The visual error up the side of the screen in-game has affected my version of FO since many many versions ago  :blush:

How'd you not notice it until someone pointed it out if it was previous? Never happened on mine until the screen-size change.

Are you talking about the green l pixels that seem to propagate around the left and right edges of the screen?  If so, then I have had that happen to me forever.

I only noticed it because somebody pointed it out to me on the screenies I had been making for the guide. I usually crop the sides anyway, so never noticed till I had some up that were not cropped

  I had always thought it was an error with my screen, but I guess not.
