Fullscreen mode not working

[jaunty copper]

As the title states I cant make fullscreen work. My mouse will be hovering over map in the menu, I can see the mouse on the map, but it does not go orange and when clicking nothing happens. I have to lower the mouse quite a lot to get it to hover on the map. I have no clue what to do about it. It is fine when playing in windowed.

I’ve had this happen when the screen resolution doesn’t mach up with the full screen mode, but I’ve also had this happen randomly too. The way I’d fix it was to close and restart the game all while in full screen (it’s a pain to do though when the game isn’t seeing your mouse correctly)

And then relaunch? I will try it

Yep and if that doesn’t work, check that your drivers are up to date, you can also (if you’re on Steam) go into properties in general and in the launch options text box type /fullscreen.

If none of that works you can try altering the .json file

Go to: Documents\Avalanche Studios\TheHunterCallOfTheWild\Saves\settings
Find the settings.json file ( it may one more folder deep that’s name is a lot of random numbers, you’ll know you’re in the right place as there’s only the “keymap.json” and “setting.json” files in it)
Open it with a text editor (I usually use notepad)
Find the line that says “DisplayFullscreen”: 0,
And change the 0 to a 1
If it’s already a 1 the game is registering full screen as active
Save and close the text editor
Relaunch the game to see if it’s functioning

Changing it to 1 worked! Thank you so much 😄
