Re: NVidia Optimus (GTX00M) Cannot Run in Fullscreen Mode

The drivers listed on the previous page won't work for most users. Check the supported product page, none of the supported drivers are for mobile. The most recent mobile driver is from 2015.2.10 and every time I install a new driver I end up with slashed FPS for some reason.

And it's great that we've got people suggesting windowed fullscreen again please refer to the first page. If the game doesn't minimise when you alt-tab then it's not in true fullscreen. I can tell just from looking at the settings on the post that the 'fullscreen' option is set to 0, this indicates that fullscreen is not being utilised and the game is simply playing in your native resolution because you told it to. The other settings tell the game to think that it's in fullscreen.

Honestly I've given up at this point. I don't think Bioware or ea gives a flying **** about us. I just hope they don't expect any more money from me in the near future.

    Yea after looking at it again it is windowed full screen in disguise. Complete waste of time and money. I'm leaving it installed in case the next driver fixes it but if it doesn't I am officially done. Good thing The Witcher 3 is not too far off.

    Hate to tell you this...but it may be their version of fullscreen...reason I say this, is I am on desktop and before this latest patch, if you swapped once from fullscreen to windowed or windowed fullscreen, then swapped back to fullscreen, your mouse would be trapped in the game every time you played the game after that.  But now, since the last patch, 5, no matter what you do your cursor isn't trapped in the game, and if you alt-tab the game shrinks but doesn't truly minimize like it should.  Since I play on dual monitors with one for game and second for desktop...this is a bit of a pain in the you know because it is easy to get OUT of the game in a heated fight.

    If you're referring to this:

    FullscreenEnabled 0
    FullscreenMode 5
    FullscreenScreen 0
    ResolutionHeight 1080 ( or whatever resolution you want )
    ResolutionWidth 1920 ( or whatever resolution you want )

    Then no, let me explain.

    FullscreenEnabled 0 - Fullscreen is not enabled.
    FullscreenMode 5 - The game will report that is in on screen mode 5 - there is none so it refers to fullscreen.
    FullscreenScreen 0 - But the game is not in fullscreen
    ResolutionHeight 1080 ( this just tells the game what resolution to run at )
    ResolutionWidth 1920 ( this just tells the game what resolution to run at)

    This is what my profileoptions_profile file looks like.
    GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 01 - It apparently thinks fullscreen is enabled.
    GstRender.FullscreenMode 2 - It is running on mode 2 (windowed fullscreen)
    GstRender.FullscreenScreen 0 - But fullscreen is in fact not enabled.
    GstRender.ResolutionHeight 768 - my resolution
    GstRender.ResolutionWidth 1360  - my resolution
