[PC]Unable To Play In Fullscreen

Hey, just bought the game and been having the exact same issue. Went through all the posts here and got it solved.

The culprit for me turned out to be teamviewer, or more precisely the quick connect button it puts on window borders. For whatever reason it prevented NFS to switch properly to fullscreen. After disabling it, everything seem to be running great.

AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE RUNNING TEAMVIEWER

I have been working on this since the release of the game with much help from everyone.  I am using teamviewer and had disabled it in order to test whether or not it was having an effect on the game with fullscreen.  In my process it actually wasnt disabled........ (wouldve saved so many headaches)

This was a solve for me and does allow me to play full screen.

Killing teamviewer while playing is much better then having to switch users to play a game I so much have wanted to play.

Again TY everyone for all posts. 🙂

@dcotugno

for me, it was actually enough to just hide the stupid button (never used it anyway), teamviewer itself is running happily in background ^^

you can disable by going to the options menu (extras->options), there click advanced options->show advanced options, scroll down to find the 'QuickConnect button' (it's roughly in the middle), click 'configure' and there you can either hide it completely or add an exception to the NFS executable so it's not forced to show there.

Hope this helps ^^

@KorYi

Thanks, works perfect.  Just added the nfs16.exe and have no issues.

Really appreciate the input!

Okay, I'm glad you guys fixed it, but what if I don't have Team Viewer installed and I still can't fullscreen this game? Could there be any other programs similar to that one that are causing this issue?

@dcotugno @KorYi

Thanks for updating this thread with your findings.

@sined23728

Please try a clean boot if you haven't done so yet as that would turn off all non-essential background programs and processes. However, as mentioned in a previous reply, you could double check your running processes if perhaps something failed to turn off.

@Straatford87 yeah lol that was me :D

@venolin_187

Oh... lol!

Well, there you go.. thanks for letting us know.. :eahigh_file:

i dont have Team viewer and still got problem i was try to crate new account and play doesnt work for me too, you have to do smt. about it. That wasn enough players temp. choice!!

Hi everyone... Just to give some input here.

I came from Windows 10 and installed this game (Need for Speed 2016) in Windows 10.

But I was having a nightmare with the boot up problem / bug from Windows 10 where the Blue Screen will keep on circling a few dots around for hours. Need to restart 4 times and above to finally get it to boot up.

This is very annoying so I decided to downgrade back to Windows 8.1. 

And tadaa~~ I'm now here with you guys, having problems of not being able to play it FULL SCREEN. I had tried everything you guys suggested to no avail.

And yes... upgrading to Windows 10 do solve the problem. I don't have any screen issues while I was running the game with Windows 10. But the Windows is way too buggy.. and when I downgraded, I can't even play this game well.

Hope to see an update of this problem soon.

@Straatford87 Just let the developers FIX the game!!!! it's taking way to long already!!

@TheJasperDJ

They have been made aware. The investigation is currently still ongoing.

I also dont have a teamviewer Problen and did a clean boot, still not working in fullscreen!

CTRL + Enter always switch back to windowmode

Windows 8.1 Enterprise (up to Date)

Lenovo Y50-70 

i7-4710HQ

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M  (Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600)

And what i heard from my friend who run almost the same spec as mine. This issue only occurs on windows 8.1 he tested on two diffrent machine which are windows 10 and windows 7 and they work perfectly fine

I also tried to run as admin/compabillity and others but still it doesnt work , even the alt enter doesnt work.
And sometimes the game just come up with blackscreen for 1-2 sec and run back again.

Current Spec
MSI GS60
I7 4710hq
16gb Ram
GTX 860m 2gb
Windows 8.1 Home (Up to date)
And latest version of Geforce Experience
Also i dont have teamviewer installed

@Straatford87 Just got an update but still not fixed!

You are my hero, damn that I didn't think of this myself. TeamViewer was the issue for me to 🙂

Cheers m8 hve my XP ^^

So , I'm pretty pissed with this problem on windows 8.1 and cant handle it anymore and then i decided to upgrade my windows  and then it works ! running on windows 10 now withouut any problem !

Borderless gaming worked fine for me 🙂

Question to EA. 

When will be fixed this bug?

Please, don't ask me about updating drivers, check my internet connection, check which weather today and etc. All latest.

Also don't ask me is it my laptop correspond system requirements. It's correspond: http://help.ea.com/en/article/get-started-with-need-for-speeds-pc-release/

Also don't ask me update to Windows 10, this recommendation just funny. 

After latest update, hack  "-window -noborder" stop work.

Bug in game, so fix this asap! Already more than one month of this post, when people got this problem.

All this situation looks like this: you got our money and you don't care that what you sale sh$t.

Thx!

Ya know, it's funny. I've just started using the 3rd borderless gaming program to make this game actually work in fullscreen. The first that I used only worked until they updated the game, then the second one has just stopped working a few hours earlier when my AV has suddenly decided that it is a "malware". So now I'm using this one. You can get it  from Steam as well, so I doubt it's a malware. It works, of course, but for how long?

#Fixthegame

YES !!!!!!!

is someone going to solve this problem ????? INSTALLING WINDOWS 10 IS NOT A SOLLUTION !!

FIX GAME PLEASE

@Phoenixwunin313 Thats very bad. If you think Nvidia will make their own System like Windows but for Gaming! Dat will be cool!

@sined23728 Not working for me it says Error behind the "Need For Speed" Name
