Same problem. I am on a laptop, You can change the settings but then the mouse is out of sinc with the actual placement in the game, (Mine's a bit above to the left)? Anybody got a fix`?

Have you tried pressing Alt + Enter?

Hmm... maybe trying to go to documents files of the game and edit the resolution ?

I can't fullscreen either, the game just crashes and I can't even end the process some times.

Try this:
Set Launch Options

1. Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
2.Under the General tab click the Set launch options... button.
3 Enter the launch options you wish to apply (be sure to separate each code with a space) and click OK.....for you this will be " -fullscreen " - Forces the engine to start in fullscreen mode without "
4.Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

Nah didn't work for me, does for most games though.

edit: F11 might of worked, although my frames are fixed now so no issue.

I am getting the same error. ive tried to press f11 but it freezes/crashes the game.

Same problem here.

The game starts just fine but when I get to the main menu my resolution changes to a small windowed one. I've tried everything in the game's screen settings and the best I can do is to choose the highest borderless res possible which leaves me with unused blank space around the game screen anyway. Fullscreen is even worse, everything gets squeezed to the middle with even bigger unused space on both sides.

I played LiS and BtS just fine on the same laptop. Same goes for other games.

-windows mode exclusive -width xxx -height xxx

I know this is an old thread, but did anyone ever find a solution? I've been dying to try this title for a while but every time I open it starts fullscreen, and then shrinks down to about an inch wide (still fullscreen - switching between fullscreen and windowed just creates a window for the game to sit in, it's still the same size) when the menu appears. Setting launch options doesn't seem to do anything.

I had the same issue, but I managed to just about change the display settings in-game (which somehow set itself to 350x250 or something initially). I didn't try fullscreen, though, only an actually usable sized window. (the resolution's under 'advanced settings' in the display bit)

Sadly I'm having the same issue too, but I've found that if you changed the screen resolution to 1680 x 1050 whilst in fullscreen it fixes all mouse alignment issues. (I know this is an old post but it's still an issue in the game)

That did not work for me.

There are some displays which can't cope properly with the resolutions other than native.
There are also different software configurations that can make issues.

The game itself has no resolution problems.
The game itself is always in 16:9 ratio.

1. Check your Windows 10 display settings and make sure you use the native resolution.
If there is some other display scaling than 100%, set it to 100%.

2. Check the driver settings if you ever changed them from the default settings.
Do not allow settings override of any kind in the driver settings.
AMD and NVIDIA have both reset buttons.

3. Start the game and setup the proper settings, according to your screen size.

Setup the screen resolution first, according to your display.

Setup the screen mode:

Windowed
Borderless
Fullscreen

Fullscreen is what it says - always full screen.
The difference among Windowed and Borderless is, that one will show the window frame and another one not.

At the very bottom, there is one setting for rendering quality. One can choose between 66, 84, 100 or 133% quality.

Always try to set the native display resolution, but lower that last quality setting to get higher frame rate, if you have some weak graphic card.

Lower the resolution only if that still doesn't give you playable frame rates.

Example:
If we use 1680x1050 (16:10) display:

With settings 1680x1050 Fullscreen, we get the game in fullscreen, but it has the black stripes on the top and bottom.

With settings 1680x1050 Borderless, we get the game in full width, but it has the empty spaces at the top and bottom, instead of the black stripes.

With settings 1280x720 Windowed, we get the game in a window, including the window frame.

With settings 1280x720 Fullscreen, we get the game in fullscreen, but it has the black stripes on the top and bottom.

With settings 1280x800 Fullscreen, we get the game in fullscreen, but it has the black stripes on the top and bottom - because the game itself is always 16:9.

Quit the game.

4. Check if your settings are properly saved.

Settings are saved in:

C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Dontnod\17_DIGIT_NUMBER\CaptainSpirit\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

In GameUserSettings.ini file, you can see your settings:

sg.ResolutionQuality=133.300003 (133% quality)
...
ResolutionSizeX=1920 (screen width)
ResolutionSizeY=1200 (screen height)
...
FullscreenMode=1 (fullscreen yes/no - 0/1)
...
PreferredFullscreenMode=1 (probably windowed/borderless/fullscreen - 0/1/2, or fullscreen yes/no - 0/1)

Yes, it is possible to adjust the game settings directly over the .ini file, without in game UI.

* I didn't check the official documentation nor tried which values are possible.
