WastedDeadSoul Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 As the title states, Skyrim is stuck in window mode and refuses to go full screen. I haven't played in a few months, and decided to jump back in. Last time I played, everything was normal. I've made no changes in the time sence then. Still have not updated to Anniversary Edition, if that matters. Everything in game seams to work fine. Every other game plays normally, just Skyrim doing this window mode thing. I don't get it. Anybody have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabdez Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Do you run the game in windowed mode in a lower resolution as you have set for your screen? If you need to lower the resolution for performance issues, you might want to have a look at this mod:https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34705It allows you to play in lower res than your monitor but stay full screen.

Algabar Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Windowed or fullscreen is normally controlled by your .ini settings. Maybe you changed them by accident? I'd recommend using BethINI:https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4875 If I remember correctly, the setting for windowed or fullscreen mode is on the first tab.

anjenthedog Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Fwiw, in SkyrimPrefs.ini bBorderless=1 bFull Screen=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedDeadSoul Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Fwiw, in SkyrimPrefs.ini bBorderless=1 bFull Screen=1 That did it! Thank you!But this has left me really confused. I am positive that I did NOT change that. I've never even opened that file. I play on max settings, and none of my mods would do something like this. So how the hell did it change?

anjenthedog Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 idk. some mod install that changes ini settings (one you performed back when and forgot about), accidental edit you forgot about during your time away (my guess)... but tbh, no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglerat70 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I am having the same problem, and it is NOT the ini files. SkyrimPrefs reads : bBoarderless=0, bFull Screen=1 , and the iSize H and iSize W both have the correct screen size in them.I have not installed the AE update and have no plans to do so. This problem just suddenly started when I attempted to start a new game. No idea what is going on or how to fix it. Personally, I think it is a ploy initiated by either Steam or Bethesda to force people to upgrade to AE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
