Freezes on start when up in fullscreen.

[Incarnate]

This is a new bug. Anyone have a fix?

I tried it in-game and every time I go fullscreen the game freezes too.

No, not a known issue.

The second step where you disable fullscreen optimization worked for me.

Right, but leaves it in windowed mode. That causes its own issues.

When I try and play I constantly click outside the window and the game stops!

Having the same issue. If I use the launcher to enable Full Screen before starting the game, it immediately crashes. If I let the game start in windowed mode and try to change it to Full Screen within the game, it does go to Full Screen but immediately freezes (cannot leave the menu or pause screen) and shortly after the game crashes.

EDIT: Well, it's not idea to have to buy something else. But I already own a program called "Lossless Scaling" (it's available here on Steam) and that lets me work around this.

Set up a game profile with Scaling Mode set to Auto & Fullscreen in the two drop down menus. Scaling Type set to Off. Other options set how you'd like in the rightmost column. Check settings for what the Scale hotkey is (mine is set to Ctrl + Alt + S, not sure if that's default). Let Mafia 3 start in windowed mode. Set the resolution you want in the options menu. Then use the Scale hotkey shortcut and boom, full screen and the game keeps running.

Sucks to have to buy another program to make this game work, but since I already own this program, I'm going to use it. Good luck to you OP as well as anyone else running into this issue.

Doesnt work, game freezes for me at fullscreen too. Not to mention it seems to lack proper high refresh support on fullscreen mode (60 fps locked) , but windowed mode doesn't seem to wortk either because some of the game is actually outside of my screen.

Ya like what has been mention in another thread
temp solution works

while in windowed mode, you can turn Vsync off and then you can go into fullscreen. Have to do this everytime. Yep seems to work for me.
