    Hi guys, 

    I have the same problem, i.e the game starts in windowed mode and even if you maximize it or hit Alt+Enter it just plings and nothing happens.

    BUT!

    For me it work by clicking any other icon on the start menu of windows and then clicking the BF icon again. It seems Windows 11 has some issues

    letting go of control and allowing stuff to go full screen in some cases.

    Edit:
    I've told a number of friends with the issue about this way of doing it and it has worked for all of them. So fingers crossed.

    Good luck!

I'm having the same issue, has never happened to me before yesterday @EA_Atic. 

I can swap to Fullscreen in the menu but it just seems to actually do whatever the last setting was and it won't actually display in fullscreen (Windowed and Borderless both work). Alt+Enter does this same thing. Fullscreen just doesn't work anymore.
