My game defaults to full screen. Have you checked the options menu? Under video options you should be able to tick full screen on or off.

yup it does nothing

Which windows are you on? You might want to try launching in a different direct x version (you can pick from the launcher menu) and see if that helps. I have no idea bud.

Civ V doesn't have normal fullscreen. It has somekind of special borderless window fake-fullscreen. Resolution must be the same as the screen's native resolution, not the windows resolution, which is kind of odd. Other wise you get black borders or image is cut.

So, it's very sensitive to anything abnormal, because it's not using any normal method for fullsceen. What video card you have and what resolution screen you have? Do you have any software related to windows arrangment or something like that?

got amd hydra vision i seem to have got shot of taskbar by turning it off,but still is not the point my gear is capable of running any game fullscreen, so why does this not have native fullscreen? very strange for this day and age

so its still unplayable as the bottom part of the screen is cut off so i cant access any tab/fuction at bottom of screen.......this game is TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I won't. I'll put that game into my "trash" category which includes GTA IV, Spiral Knights, CitiesXL, Max Payne 3, Left4Dead2, Far Cry 3 etc.
