For anyone who runs an AMD graphics card and experiences this problem. Make sure under your graphics setting that the rendering is set to use Mantle and not Direct3d11. I tried that and it has worked thus far for mer.

I have no trouble with full screen--when I first booted the game it was kind of funny because I didn't know that it opens in a smaller window and that I had to left-click anywhere inside it to have the image scale to full screen...😉 But so long as you let the game load, there's an in-game instruction printed on screen: "Click to Continue"--so if you left-click at that point you'll scale to full screen. That probably isn't your problem, though...
I have no trouble full screen with either D3d or Mantle, actually, but I'm running a desktop system with an 2GB HD 7850 discrete card installed. People for some reason have yet to realize that laptops *often* contain custom hardware--for instance, in all but 2-3 brands of laptop you can't use AMD's Mobility drivers, you have to get your drivers from the laptop OEM (Dell, Lenovo, etc.) Custom OEM drivers are not certified by Microsoft as WHQL comliant for 3d games. Laptops--I don't care if it says "gaming laptop," etc.--are generally very poor 3d game machines because of the custom hardware/driver issue. Everyone needs to be fully aware of this fact. You can check out many a game forum and the majority of people having problems are trying to run their games in a laptop of some kind. There is absolutely no way that game developers can test their software in every make and model laptop people are likely to own...no way, at all. In laptops, AMD & nVidia gpus are better than Intel's by a country mile, but laptops still are fundamentally designed around battery life for portable, on-the-go use. Best policy: build yourself a desktop system and use that for gaming--keep your laptop for use with everything *except* 3d games. You will be much happier...😉
except that the only game which is bithcing on laptops is Dragon age Inquisition, even after patches
Yeah see... If I can play Skyrim at 40+ FPS with 60+ mods attached to it (including HD texture mods) but my computer can't handle Dragon Age? I don't care how much newer Dragon Age is, Skyrim is a beast in comparison. There's a problem here, and it's got nothing to do with 'custom graphics cards'.

Wow. So the best policy is to spend tons of money for a desktop PC that I don't like, that I won't be able to use because it's stuck in one place, just because Dragon Age: Inquisition is being stupid and is the only game that won't run fullscreen on my perfectly fine laptop which, by the way, I happened to buy because IT IS MORE PRACTICAL FOR ME? Really? WOW. Just WOW. What kind of smug logic is that, alienating and indirectly being passive-aggressive to laptop gamers like me just for your own personal ego-boost in believe that your choice of desktop PC gaming is superior to everything else?
