Constantly fails to start in full screen at correct resolution

After changing resolutions or fullscreen options it doesn't respond to the changes. close it down reopen and it loads window mode in some stupid resolution. This problem is far more frequent since moving to EA app instead of origin. 

  • I changed this to a 0 GstRender.WindowBordersEnable 0

    Seems to have worked as its now launching in fullscreen. Will see if this sticks.

    Hey @ro7hbard,

    Have you already tried to rename the BF2042 folder in your My Documents folder on your PC? That way, the game can rebuild the settings file, which usually fixes a lot of these issues.

    @ro7hbard  just rename the old folder to test if this fix youre issue !
    If not , then you could delete the new folder and rename the old folder again.

    Not that hard !!!
    Cheers

    @ro7hbard, do you want to try to do any sort of troubleshooting steps? If not, then I am afraid that there's nothing we, or other forum members, can help you with.

    OK say I reset the configuration files and it doesn't happen, will that be considered the fix? 

    I'd rather not have to rebuild the settings, if I can remove some graphics related options from the configuration file that would be preferable.
