i did change the window mode via the xml file. However, after that it still didnt work and on starting the game the following error came:
Direct3D initialization failed. possible causes etc etc.
Any help?

This doesn't work for me. When I try the stuff in the first post I either get a shitty resolution I can't change or I'm in windowed mode and can't change it to fullscreen.
I can't play in windowed mode cause then the cursor always moves over to my 2nd monitor whenever I go right.
Any other possible solutions?

Duplicate the display rather than extending?
Alt+enter should get you on full screen tho.

Well if I duplicate the display then I can't watch stuff on the 2nd monitor while playing for example
And alt+enter sadly gives a fatal error and the game crashes.
It's so weird, it used to work before but now I just can't get rid of the windowed mode anymore.

@Skirmisher I'm still having issues. It doesn't matter if it says false or true in that code spot. I've changed it many times and it still won't let me leave the window mode. The full res won't get big enough to fill the screen either.

@Dragon991429 if the full res isn't big enough it is not the full res

Re: Got stuck in windowed mode? Heres how you fix it.
@Skirmisher I know that's why it is frustrating. And when I uncheck the window view button, it says it is still in window view. It is just stuck like everybody was saying. It may be because I am playing it off of my usb, my laptop does not have a disc drive. I am going to try to reinstall it this weekend and hope it works.

Re: Got stuck in windowed mode? Heres how you fix it.
@Skirmisher This might also help. I am having the exact same issues as @Lukas_L99. alt+enter gives the fatal error and when the screen thinks it enters full screen mode, its stuck on the left side and my desktop is exposed on the whole right half. Only difference between the two is I can't change where the screen is like in widow mode. It is stuck on the left side with window no borders.
Might be related but might not, the game tells me that there is an issue with the installation now since I tried the true to false thing on the first post. It says "There's an issue with the installation and you might need to reinstall the game."

Re: Got stuck in windowed mode? Heres how you fix it.
it is normal that the window is borderless and thus not movable.
i also get fatal error when doing alt + enter sometimes or when changing any graphics settings (be it vsync, color space, windowed, resolution)
however for me changing this setting or any other setting in newprofile file will work good. perhaps you should try to install the game properly and see if that helps

@Dizayloy16 no idea man, sometimes my game gets stuck too. i just try the various ways of changing the settings, maybe even remove the settings file, and eventually it returns to normal
