Full Screen???
Just reinstalled LA Noire and it is starting in a 3/4 screen on my desktop. I can't find anywhere to enlarge it to fit my full window, and the standard fall-back of ALT + ENTER isn't doing anything.

Can anyone explain how to fix this problem?

Did you ever figure this out?

I think I did, but don't remember exactly how. I believe I had to change the display to DX9 or something, then reset it to dX11 after launch, or something wierd like that, but not sure. Its been a while, and I stopped playing since then.

For some reason, the widescreen fixer program that unlocked the fps fixed it as well.Thanks for responding though.

No, thank you for responding. I know nothing of the "widescreen" fixer program. While it may not be applicable, I would not mind hearing/knowing about it.

To turn it on, after LA:N starts go back and run widescreen fixer then to turn it on hit the * on your numpad. Then gp back to the game.

I had to change my resolution back to 1920x1080 but it worked

Wow. I'm quite surprised Rockstar didn't just fix this issue. Wierd. Thanks for the info!

Never had this issue myself, not sure that there is anything to fix.

I didn't say all their ports are bad, just that they are not known for the highly optimized PC ports. Max Payne was more the exception rather than the rule. Their games are massive and complex so I give them I don't complain for them not being the best ports. Hopefully, starting with GTA V, ALL ports will be better (not just Rockstar) with the increased power and closer architecture of the consoles.

Any game I pay money to play which does not work in such a fundamental fashion is irritating. Nobody suggested their games are not innovative or unplayable. Don't charge me until you fix an obvious problem, or, charge me, then help fix it. Either way is fine, but neither occured in this case.

Old thread but: if anyone happens to stumble across this with the same issue and seemlingly no solution: this article helped me! (of course the final solution, which is downloading new registry keys did on there did ^^)

just remember to follow the instructions carefully and restart blabla.

Enjoy, fellow detectives :)
