I believe that I have a fix for this, but first, let's be sure that I'm seeing the same issue as everyone else:
On my machine, if I double-click in the windowed display, rather than single click, it restores to fullscreen display and stays that way. I have to do this every time that I launch the application, but it works to fix the problem.

- The game is set to "Fullscreen"
- When it launches, it briefly flashes a fullscreen display but then switches to a windowed display that takes up perhaps half the height and 2/3 the width of the screen. Sound cuts off
- Clicking in the windowed display restores the fullscreen display and sound, but it immediately reverts to the windowed display with no sound.
- Changing scaling, etc. in NVidia control panel has no effect.
- None of the mentioned interfering software (i.e. TeamViewer) is installed
- Recreating ProfileOptions_profile has no effect
- This behavior began with the most recent NVidia driver update (347.09). Fullscreen worked fine previously.

Doesn't work for me while the issue does look similar. What is you config? Mine is MSI GS60 2QE GTX970M 3GB
.
Win 8.1, i7, 32GB, GTX 880M 8GB 🏈 with SLI enabled.
DA:I is configured with all display settings as high as they go at 1920x1080 resolution (native for my display).
I should probably also note that I'm seeing the same behavior from Shadow of Mordor, so I don't think that DA:I is to blame.
Ok, so after researching the issue and working with several laptops/pc's (i have access to several workstations) I can suggest several solutions.
*Note - not all of them will work, but for some of you it will. It didnt work for my laptop, for instance. But I could make it one of old pc.
We seem to have problem with both IntelHD graphics and Nvidia. Majority of laptops which have Geforce M series Graphic cards do also have Intel graphics. So basically, when we launch the application, the display settings go through IntelHD, not via Nvidia, and Nvidia acts like renderer. If you dont believe me - go check your DxDIag and see what is in your Display tab. Simply using nvidia control panel won't work, bcuz it wont change default display device (and it is InteHD). The compability of this two usually dont bring much problems, but have some issues when running applications with DX11(such as DAI)
Example - you cant change WoW/DA2 gamma in DX11 because of this problem. Same thing seem to happen with DAI(and hell thanks optimization {*no optimization} issues are even worse than gamma).
- Try going to your manugacturer's website(Asus,Acer. etc.) and update IntelHD drivers. Or search for the latest driver on Intel website(latest drivers didnt even want to intall on my laptop though)
- If you are able to, in BIOS set NVIDIA device as a default display renderer(very few laptops have this settings in BIOS, but maybe you have).
For the same reason people who have teamviewer have this problem - game processes through several display devices/options, whch cause the conflict. For the damn same reason fullscreen works if you launch with IntelHD - Since you lauch it with single display adapter.
Hope this helped all who are here, or atleast gave you idea to find a possible global solution
Downgraded intel drivers to original OEM provided by gigabyte.. did not help at all.
set nvidia settings global to always use gpu... did not help at all
ugh... and full screen windowed kills my performance at 1620p.
disabled nvidia driver in device manager, intel loads full screen just fine.
sadly disabling the intel device also disables the nvidia device from functioning properly...
Odd, I can't run DA:I full screen on my Lenovo Y50, however I could run Shadows of Mordor perfectly on the very same laptop.
For me, DA:I and Wolfenstein exhibit the same behavior of not wanting to go into full screen unless I put it into Windowed Full Screen.
I see EA has responded to other posts... why not this one?
