Full Screen Mode?

[Daimon D. Heart]

I recently installed NWN:EE again and I can't seem to find a way to enable full screen mode. I searched online and it says you're supposed to make FullScreen=1 in the nwn.ini, but it's not in there. I tried typing it in and saving it, but it doesn't make a difference. For the time being, Alt + Enter is working fine, but I know I used to have it set up so the game always started in full screen mode. Was there a change with the recent update?

The new settings file is called settings.tml, you can find the fullscreen line in there.

Thanks! I noticed that file in the folder but wasn't sure.

Edit: Er... except it seems to go back to Windowed mode after I run the game. I change the IDX value to 1, but it keeps going back to 0.

I don't have that file in my nwn folder. Is that in the steam apps common neverwinter nights folder?

[Daimon D. Heart]

The file is in your Documents folder in Neverwinter Nights. Doesn't seem to be working, though.

ya when i changed it to fullscreen, it has no affect.

For a temp fix, when in game press alt + enter.
This will force your application to fullscreen.

Indeed, this is a workaround at the moment. We're aware it goes back to Windowed mode.

How i fixed this: edit settings.tml found in my documents (not in game dir), open it via notepad, find line [graphics.window] and bellow you find mode = "windowed", change it to mode = "fullscreen". After that just set resolution via ingame options ;)

This worked for me, thank you @fader4 You can also edit the starting resolution for fullscreen directly below that as well.

Frankly, it's pretty awkward at the moment and not user-friendly at all. Something as essential as setting the display mode and resolution should really be in the standard option menu, not require complicated tinkering for advanced users with secret knowledge. If integrating it in the regular menu is not possible or wanted, at least the menu screen should contain info on how to access the new hidden menu (Ctrl+Shft+F12) or point to the settings.tml file.

I feel like the fullscreen mode isn't working correctly, even when it is 'working'. For instance, running a 240hz monitor, it feels like the game is still running in 60hz - there's sometimes color flicker especially around water. Also, sometimes when closing the game my monitor will do a 'blink' which is common with this monitor when switching between refresh rates.

Also, the windows volume control can't be seen overlaying the game, and 'Print Screen' takes a picture of the desktop behind the game - leading me to believe it isn't hooking into exclusive fullscreen properly.

Just edited nwn.ini and there is a line under [Display Options] "FullScreenDesktopMode=" I set to 1, that is "FullScreenDesktopMode=1"

The actual fix is....
In "settings.tml" edit the following:

[graphics]
[graphics.window]

mode = "exclusive"

[graphics.window.fullscreen]

NWN-EE v79.8193.9

My permanent solution was to find 'settings.tml' (as advised above) and use 'notepad' to modify.

In my case the 'settings.tml' file was located at 'C:\Users\-->CurrentUser<--\Documents\Neverwinter Nights'

1) open the file 'settings.tml'
2) find '[graphics]'
3) find '[graphics.window]'
4) find '[graphics.window.fullscreen]'

At this stage no changes have been made.

5) change 'toggle-to-borderless' from 'false' to 'true'

Summary
[graphics] -> [graphics.window] -> [graphics.window.fullscreen] -> [toggle-to-borderless = true]

There doesn't seem to be any need to change any other setting or file.

I really hope the Devs are gonna fix the Graphics Options Menu to make Full Screen work correctly with no need for File Sorcery in a future Update... pwease...?

Edit: in settings.tml, what would happen...:

[graphics.window]
mode = "windowed"

if I changed "windowed" into "fullscreen"? Would stuff break?
