BF2 stuck in windowed mode whatsoever

Hi

I've had the same issue for more than a year now with Star Wars BF2 stuck in windowed mode no matter what I do. And as of today, I tried uninstalling both Origin and the game that I'm experiencing the problem with.

The problem is that, ever since I updated my PC from Windows 7 to Windows10 (more or less, as far as I remember), my Battlefront 2 ALWAYS launches in windowed mode, and no matter what I do in game like changing it to Fullscreen and what not, it still sticks at being in windowed mode. It sure is frustrating.

I didn't find much about this issue. But I did find something, check this out: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Manually-setting-resolution-in-files/td-p/6465643 and this https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Manually-setting-resolution-in-files/td-p/6465643

As both these topics suggests, changing some information in the "BootOptions" and "ProfileOptions_profile"-files @(Windows 10) -> Documents -> Star Wars Battlefront 2 -> Settings.
I would lovee to test this out, but I don't have these exact files. I can only find "ProfileOptions" and "ProfileOptions_profile_synced".

Unfortunately none of these contain either:

'GstRender.ResolutionHeight '' or ''GstRender.ResolutionWidth''

and neither:

GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 1
GstRender.FullscreenRefreshRate 60.000000
GstRender.FullscreenScreen 1
GstRender.ResolutionHeight 1080
GstRender.ResolutionWidth 1920
GstRender.WindowBordersEnable 0

How do I fix the issue with being stuck in windowed mode without having those specific folders for boot options and profile options?

Hope someone can help - thanks in advance for any help 🙂

Best,
Nico
