GiaK Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) I am running OBSE 0021 beta 1 in order to use CSE 6.0. If I launch the game with the Oblivion Launcher I get full screen mode (1920x1080) but when I launch the game with OBSE_loader I get a window. It is not a true window as I cannot access the icons with the mouse to close or minimize it. Is there a setting I need to change to get full screen using OBSE? Edit: I have tried changing the screen resolution and also using OBSE 0020 but there is still a window. Thanks for any info.

GiaK Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 I have found the solution. Running Windows 8 I have found it necessary to run obse_loader as administrator and (on a whim) when setting this under properties I checked the box to run compatibility mode for windows XP. Unchecking this solved the issue. Sorry for the stupid post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeTheDragon Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Not stupid at all. This was a new one to me, and I suspect specific Windows 8 issues will be new to a great number of Oblivion users in the near future.Knowing this can happen when things aren't cofigured 100% perfectly will definitely be valuable knowledge to others. I for one am warned now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDP Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks a lot, helped me too. I also noticed that not only obse_launcher had XP compatibility mode turned on, but Oblivion.exe as well. That one need it turned off too. Works as intended now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YngvieMalmsteen Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thank you so much for this! I had OBSE_Loader.exe set in compatibility mode for windows 7 and unchecking that fixed this! Anyone using windows 8 to play oblivion should look at this. I hope these kinds of necro's are allowed because there may be somebody else that needs to know about this, like i did myself.

TheRedCrane Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thank you for the post, but sadly this didn't work for me ;-;.It turns to full screen mode and then glitches back to windowed (well, as you said, not windowed).If you find a way to help please post it. :) -TheRedCrane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
