I noticed I still can't play on my laptop in full screen...

Has anyone ever figured out a fix (besides playing in a borderless full screen...)

what graphics card do you have?

if you have an nvidia card, you can change which card is used,

through the nvidia control panel.

just make sure the nvidia card is checked, and the integrated one (usually intel)

is not checked.

you can also enable or disable the cards through the device manager.

if you disable the integrated one, that should "force" the laptop to use

other non-integrated card, as long as that one IS ENABLED.

you may also be able to set the primary card to be initialized in the bios settings.

nVIDIA only offers the "back half" of a real Mobile GPU for use in laptops, which makes the result really problematic. Many of them will NEVER operate at all correctly in EA games. Since the crippled result has no front end at all, the Intel chip remains active, to feed input to the Optimus, when the Optimus can be forced to do anything.
