After installing patch, cannot play full screen
Hi,
After I installed the patch, the game only opens on a small screen with no option to enlarge to full screen.
I play on steam
Windows 10, 64 bits
Installed the latest patch using the launcher version 4.2.1.1
Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for any help.

Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
Try changing the ingame resolution settings after you launch.
Could just be the patch launching in a different resolution to your PC.

Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
I have this problem when I play the Wars of Liberty mod as well. No clue what causes it.
You could try navigating to Documents > My Games > Age of Empires 3 > Users3 and open NewProfile3.xml and ensure that this line:
<Setting Name="optiongrfxwindowmode">false</Setting>
Says "false" to ensure fullscreen.

Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
I have tried different resolutions and also now checked the setting above and it shows as false.
Unfortunately still a small window :(
Thank you for the tips so far...I appreciate it!

Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
I am just getting back into AoEIII and found this awesome patch! Love the monitor nerfs! Anyhow I am having this same problem. The patch launches in a window on the upper left corner of my screen. There are no options to maximize the window. Changing the resolution withing the game itself does not work. The file that Mitoe suggested to check is indeed "false" in my new profile3.xml file. <Setting Name="optiongrfxwindowmode">false</Setting>. What else can I try? I would love to play with this patch!
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
Hey, guys, solved it: I just put the exact same resolution on the game that I'm using on windows. Like, if you use 1920x1080 on windows, just set the same on the game, and it works. That's it.
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
I havethis bug too. Soundbug and this shit. So frustrating.
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
@Challe @sncky @DaBlakSpot @AntontheGreat @D_Antona Hey guys, could you try out the latest Beta and see if it makes any difference for you? Particularly whether you're able to change resolution on the Beta version. If you could also share what kind of GPU you have (NVIDIA/AMD/integrated), that'd be perfect.

Yeah, tested it, same thing. The game only runs full screen in the same resolution as the system. Like I run the system on 1920x1080 and the game on 1366x768, so it runs in a window as long as I keep the system resolution greater.
I play on an old Samsung notebook, Core i3 processor and Intel Graphics 520 HD integrated (I don't know much of this stuff, but it's a simple notebook).
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
Well, stupid question maybe, but are you sure you're playing without windowed mode when you play at a lower in-game resolution?

In my case I cant get it off of windowed mode. So I play on windowed mode with correct resolution

What happens when you uncheck the windowed mode box in the graphics settings? Does it just ignore it? Crash? Something else?
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
It just ignores it. Sometimes I can make it to uncheck and then the game "restarts" and when its back up again its back to windowed mode again
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
I think there was a fix for it. Gotta check the options file and change it from there. Also try with alt+enter and see if it switches between full screen and windowed.

Shame it's all for resolving tech issues

Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
I had the exact same problem with a second monitor, where I wanted to play the esoc patch.
I solved the problem with opening the game on the official patch first and changing the graphic settings to the highest resolution possible there.
(Perhaps you need to switch to a lower resolution first, when having it already set to the highest. Then change it to the highest again)
After that I started the esoc patch again and I got my full screen for the second monitor.
Hope it helps

Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
I Just redownloaded the patch after some time. not sure if you guys add any updates but the problem is reoccuring
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
i have a NIVIDA GTX graphocs card also
Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
Yeah the reoccurence is what breaks the back. The first time I did something eaglemut suggested and it worked, the second time I had to format my laptop and reinstall everything. Now I'm just not arsed enough to try anything.

Re: After installing patch, cannot play full screen
so noone has found a fix to this? i cant seem to open the patch unless its in a smaller screen and its very hard to get used to, windowed mode makes it even smaller, changing resolution doesnt work either, any ideas?
