Can't play fullscreen

[jbidrovo]

Every time I try and play full screen, the game picks up on objects on my desktop instead of the game and causes me to minimize whenever I click anywhere. Anyone got any suggestions?

Go into your eqclient.ini file and modify the videomodes section to all have the same resolution as your desktop is. (Or at the least, all whatever res you want to play the game in, but general desktop native res works best)

Something like this:

[VideoMode]
Width=1680
Height=1050
WidthWindowed=1680
HeightWindowed=1050
WindowedWidth=1680
WindowedHeight=1050
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0

Oh and it's common to have that effect happen when you first start, but if you Alt-Enter inside the game and go back to full screen it should act normal after that.
