Game starting in windowed mode.
It also sets to windowed mode everytime I Alt+Tab.
I've set it to fullscreen and saved the settings, is there a fix for this?

this did not work any another suggestion?

At least it's not like Battlefield 2142 where you have to re-map ALL of your controls every time you launch the game.

I do need to remap all controls, seems each time my settings are lost when i start the game.

My game is not only starting in Windowed mode, it changed the resolution to 1024x768 and even through the controller is selected in the menu only mouse and keyboard work in the MENUS even though 360 button prompts are showing. Game played fine all day yesterday. Now its a broken mess.

Shadownspawn, I am having the exact same problem as you aswell. If I find a fix I will post it back in here

Mine does this as well. It's a little annoying but I'm sure they'll patch it soon.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the controller.

Go to C users > Your username > Documents > Ubisoft > Blacklist in this folder is a file called videoSettings.ini Open this with text editor. Look for the line WindowStyleFinal=1
Change this to WindowStyleFinal=2 or WindowStyleFinal=0 save the file and run the game again. It will open in full screen mode.

Alternatively go to Blacklist in your Steam library List > right click > Properties then under the general tab Set Launch Options and in the command line type
-fullscreen

That did not fix it for me. That command line is still in my Launch Options and it never opens in fullscreen.

Press Alt+Enter - the standard shortcut for switching to/from fullscreen (you might have to click on the window first, even if it already seems to have focus - and it won't work during cutscenes)
