Farcry 3 randomly enters windowed mode
For starters, whenever I face a tiger, game goes windowed mode. After that, whenever I press Z to use the camera (or to take it off) it also changes to windowed mode.
I've tried to set the camera key to the key next to 0, but when I press it, it still happens.
Is there a fix for that?
Best Answer
If I were to venture a guess, it sounds like your computer is communicating with another program, causing the other program to become the focus, forcing your game into windowed mode. You could try closing other programs, perhaps an overlay program such as Steam or Overwolf could cause this. There are any number of programs that actively listen for hotkeys, such as Skype or Teamspeak.
