Can't run BF1 on fullscreen or borderless ERROR

Hello. So I installed Battlefield 1 and i can run it just fine with windowed mode, but whenever I try to change it to either borderless or fullscreen via video settings, it gives me an error message like this: "DirectX function "FindClosestMatchingMode" failed with DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE ("The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver."). GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M", Driver 39836

Can anyone help? My drivers are up to date and I've tried just about anything.. I can run pretty much everything else just fine and no problems. I have Asus Laptop with i7-4710HQ  @ 2.50ghz, 8gb RAM and gtx 870M. Please help

  • I Solved it. Finally!!!!!!! I went to Intel graphic properties via desktop and set the scaling to fullscreen and overrode every game. Now everything works flawlessly 🙂

  • Hey @MazRecon,

    Have you tried doing a fresh uninstall/reinstall of your Drivers? I know you said they're up to date, but try reinstalling them.

    Also, have you tried running Origin and the Battlefield 1 exe file in Program Files as Administrator?

    You can also try repairing the game files in Origin, and see if that helps.

    Let us know if you still need assistance.

    Thank you 🙂

    Hey, thanks for taking the time to help me out! I did a full reinstall of my drivers with the help of Display Driver Uninstaller. I also tried to run the game as administrator via Program files, and repaired the game files in Origin. None of this worked for me though. It still gives the same Error message I stated above. I've seen people playing Battlefield 1 in fullscreen/borderless without any problems with the same laptop as I have. Anything else I should try? Thanks.

    @MazReconYou've done some good troubleshooting so far but I haven't seen if you're tried turning off Origin in game yet, have you tried that yet?

    Hello Ragnarok. Yes that was actually the very first thing I did when I started looking for help on the issue. Alot of people suggested to turn it off and I did. Didn't help though â˜šī¸

    They gave me bunch of forum topics to look into where people have 'solved' the issue, but they are all just the same solutions that haven't worked for me, unfortunately. Thanks for the tips
