    I keep setting my BeamNG options to full screen, but sometimes when I start the game it starts in windowed mode, and when I hit the Windows key it always exits to windowed mode. Is there any way to make BeamNG stay in full screen? Thanks!

    Hey. A handful of games I own open in windowed despite full screen being enabled - not sure why. But an easy shortcut is to press Alt and Enter and the same time (Alt+Enter toggles full screen applications). Windows key disables full screen to enable the start menu, a lot of 'gaming' keyboards have a feature to disable the windows key - perhaps this is something to look into.

    If you need to TAB out frequently, use Borderless mode.
    Tabbing with fullscreen will toggle window mode.

    I know this is a bit of a bump, but I have been having this exact same problem lately. The game used to start full screen. Now, it starts windowed even when I force it to full screen, play in full screen, then exit while still in full screen. Open the game next time: opens in a window. The game did not used to do this. I do not play in windowed/borderless mode (or would rather not, I suppose I should say).

    Thanks for any tips/advice on forcing full screen on launch.

    It happened to me to. I think version 0.12 caused it.

    A Support ID would help (replicate the issue a few times first):

    Well, of course as soon as I get assistance on submitting a ticket, it no longer starts up in windowed mode. Now, I don't know if this is related or not, but I got tired of windowed mode, so I put the game in borderless and set the resolution to my normal (1080p). That was fine, I suppose. But, when I tried to replicate the problem in order to submit a ticket, the goofy game stayed in full screen, even if I alt-tabbed out and did alt-enter. Being in tech support myself, I am completely aware of what's happening: system misbehaves until a tech shows up. Haha! Ah well, if it acts up again, I'll know what to do to report it. Thanks, Nadeox1!
