Hey,
how do I make the game full screen?
I didn't find anything in the options.

Re: Full Screen
Hello!
If you click on Options from the main menu, the first option is "1. Fullscreen (Requires Restart): off." Click that to toggle it to the fullscreen mode you want (I recommend Black Borders), then close FTL and start it again. You should start in fullscreen

Re: Full Screen
I'm having a problem getting into full screen, when I set the options to full screen stretched or bordered and restart, it just reverts back to windowed.

Re: Full Screen
Do you get an error message when it restarts? If it forces you back to windowed it should tell you why.
What resolutions does your computer support?

Re: Full Screen
Thank for the quick reply. I get no error message at all, it just reverts back to windowed like I never set it to full screen. My computer supports up to 1080p.

Re: Full Screen
Start the game when it should start in Fullscreen, then closed it after it starts. Then in your FTL installation folder, there should be a file "stdout.txt." Can you post its contents here?
If you're using the Steam install, then it will be in [Steam Installation]/steamapps/common/FTL Faster Than Light

Re: Full Screen
stdout.txt does not exist in my installation folder, could that be my problem? I bought it of gog if that helps.

Re: Full Screen
Does your settings.ini file have the line: logging=1 ?
Also, you could try running the game in fullscreen stretched mode, but also add the following lines to settings.ini:
screen_x=1920
screen_y=1080
Assuming 1920x1080 is indeed your resolution. That might start it up as fullscreen with black borders.

Re: Full Screen
Sorry, settings.ini should be in the installation folder.
