Default Black Screen when I switch to Full Screen mode

If I hit Alt-Enter or if I changed to fullscreen mode from the options menu, I get a black screen and I have to close/reopen the whole program. The same thing happens if my computer remains inactive enough for Windows to sleep.

Help?

See the above fix for #1. You may need to fiddle with the resolutions a bit to get it to work. If all else fails, set the windowed width/height to the same as your current desktop settings. You won't have true fullscreen, but it will be close.

You can also try hitting alt+enter when in windowed mode to see if that can get you into fullscreen. Lastly, try fiddling with the graphics settings to see if theres a particular display setting that is preventing you from going fullscreen. If all else fails, use the above 'fix'.

I've also been told that having dual monitors can affect your ability to full screen the game.

Alt + Enter, wait a sec for your computer to catch up
Rinse and repeat 2 more times! Everything should display properly now
