i just downloaded this and it popped up in windowed mode when i started it up. "fine i can fix this" i thought as i go through the options and change it to my monitors resolution and change the mode to full-screen i then proceeded to press the save button and the game proceeded to tell me that the settings were saved then proceeded to do nothing... at all... the little windowed mode game stayed exactly the same didn't change one bit. i tried to change the setting over and over and it will not budge at all even alt enter only stretches it out horribly. does anyone have any ideas on how to get the game to change its resolution to what it says it should be but isn't...

The front end (including mech lab and pilot lab) is intended to be a window. Changing the resolution in the settings adjusts the resolution of your gameplay, not the front end.

you can force it fullscreen with alt-enter if you need to.

all further gameplay or game support issues should go to the beta forum & beta support forum, where you most likely would've found the answer to your question.

some of us do NOT want it to be windowed. no matter what I do the ******* window puts itself under my windows taskbar. it is completely annoying!

Seems to me because of a hard 720p resolution... would be really nice to scale that thing to fullscreen, but that seems to be a problem...

I really don't like the windowed mode whenever I enter the main menu... and Alt+Entering all the time is really annoying.

the "play " button is a tiny sliver of color at the bottom of my window, which wont enlarge via alt-enter. It used to be fill screen at one point, but it crashed, so i messed with resolution and compatibility, etc. So now it only shows some of thw window, but it doesnt crash.

Go to /Piranha Games/Mechwarrior Online/USER/ and look for Attributes.xml and delete the file this should return everything to default settings and give you a normal game window again. Be careful when setting resolution to make sure it's not bigger than your monitor can display!
