Hello all,

I seem to be experiencing some problem with windowed mode in Far Cry 2. I simply changed DX9 to DX10 in the video settings and when I restarted the game it was windowed. I never asked for it to be windowed and I can't find an option to turn it off. It stayed windowed when I turned it back to DX9. If anyone knows how to change it to full screen I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Close the game

Documents > My Games > Far Cry 2

Now edit the file called GamerProfile.xml using Notepad

Change the value Maximized="0" to Maximized="1"

Save the file, then try starting up the game again. Should be sorted.
