    Hello,

    Since the last patch, when I press " Alt + Enter " to change my playing mode (from window to full screen), my game reduces and open back quickly. When it does that, I can't click on the game or do anything. I am forced to close the game using the "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" menu.

    I use 1024 x 768 resolution.

    Can you provide more details on the 'reduce and open back quickly'

    Not sure what you mean

    My game opens in Window mode.

    When I "alt+Enter" it goes super quick in full screen mode, than it goes back in Window mode for not even 1 sec. and then I don't see it anymore (it's in my "menu bar" as "opened" though). When I click on the icon to see the game, it does the exact same thing really quick (window/full screen/"disapear"). The game never closes. It's just that I can't really click on it since it does the Window/Full screen thing too quick.

    I also tried to change the mode by clicking in the settings and it does the same thing,

    Thank you!

    So you only wanna play the game in full screen mode?

    Based on your description, it sounds like your PC or monitor couldn't handle Royals in full screen and will flicker

    Is it not possible to play in Windows mode but larger size?

    Hi!
    Yes I'd like to be able to switch from Window to Full screen mode. I was able before the patch. That problem is only since the patch. Any idea of what I should do? Thanks!

    Try running Windows Update and ensure your monitor display driver is updated

    This started happening to me as well on my laptop after updating the game with patch 72.

    At the moment I'm dealing with it by going to my display settings and temporarily changing my display resolution to 1280 x 768 whenever I wanna play, then back to my default when I'm done so things don't look weird. However, it seems that other options with x 768 work as well, matching the client's 1024 x 768

    You could try different ones to see if they work for you, I think it depends on your screen.

    I think the issue involves 2nd monitors. When the client is put into full screen it doesn't seem to be able to resize itself to full screen. I found it seemed to happen when my 2nd monitor was enabled. By default I have my 2nd monitor set to be an extension of my primary monitor. If I disabled it in windows and just went with the standard 1 screen i was able to fullscreen maple.

    My computer is brand new! Like 2 weeks old. I just read that other people also have this problem since patch. Weird...
