I have a Lenovo Win 8 laptop, Pressing F4 causes the game to close as the F4 key naturally closes any windows

Anybody help with my problem? I want to play the game in full screen.

Make sure you arent holding alt when you do it. If your arm naturally drifts to one side, say on your keyboard you might accidentally be pressing some keys.

Otherwise ive never heard of pressing F4 by itself closing windows. Try Alt-Enter (the hotkey to maximize windows)

[Zoracs]

and if that doesn't work see about reconfiguring your KeyBoard assignments.
I.E. change F4 so it does something else.

I don't know anything about that computer you have but I'm sure you can find out how easy by looking it up.

I already found the solution guys, my laptop is very different from any PCs, theres a special "Fn" key that allows F hotkeys to function normally than intended, My F keys has its own functions on their own so Its a bit of a problem for me.

This is actually standard practice on many brands of laptops -- it allows quick access to adjust screen brightness, volume, etc. I have an HP laptop where F5 is the only F key without some secondary function tacked on to it...

Of course this makes it more difficult to use the F keys as F keys, especially in games.

BUT, if you can access the laptop's BIOS settings you may be able to configure this behavior so you can use the F keys directly, reserving the Fn modifier for their secondary functions instead. (I definitely prefer this setting.)

Out of curiosity, what model of laptop is yours? (Mine, for example, is an HP-ba088nr[support.hp.com].)

Lenovo G40, I dont know if its Win 8 or 10

Well ... "G40" is actually an entire range of Lenovo laptops, but ... aha, here we are:

- How to configure the function keys to not require use of the Fn key in Windows 8.1/10[support.lenovo.com]

Yep, it's a setting available at the BIOS level. "BIOS" (and "UEFI") are low-level software responsible for powering on the computer and loading its operating system, and allow you to make certain changes that otherwise are not available while the system is running.

- Recommended way to enter BIOS for IdeaPad, Lenovo Laptops[support.lenovo.com]

Caution: the golden rule about BIOS / UEFI is do not change any settings you aren't 100% sure what they do, because it has a lot of internal settings outside the scope of everyday use.

But in this case, the relevant configuration setting (for F-keys) is called "Hotkey Mode" and should be listed under the Configuration tab.

I already found the solution man no need to be Scientist Mode but sure, Ill give it a try, Pressing Fn+F4 is frustrating.

In very technical terms that's a "workaround" not a "fix", but whatever :)
