So, I accidentally got suck in windowed mode and can't get out. I keep un-checking it and changing my resolution in options, but it always resets after I click ok. Being a developer however, I used my intuitive developer snooping abilities and ran through all the xml config files and fixed it manually. I am going to share it here in case it helps anyone:
In your
Code: Select all
\Documents\My Games\Age Of Empires 3
folder, go to the
folder and open
or whatever xml profile you see. You may want to do this with an editor that has syntax highlighting (I used Visual Studio Code) so you can read better. Next, find a line that looks like:
Code: Select all
<Setting Name="optiongrfxwindowmode">true</Setting>
and replace
"true" with
"false". Close the game and save, next time you run the game, your issue should be fixed.
