Embarrassed to say this but...

Hosted a game where right as the timer hit 0 some git dropped, the game got stuck on the transferring bagdes screen (right before the usual still picture showing the progress bar).

Game froze there for 20 minutes, eventually tried alt tab, ctrl alt del etc. nothing worked so I turned the PC off.

When it came back on and I started up WA, the game now only runs in a window around 60% of the size of the windows desktop (i.e. I can see the desktop surrounding the window running the game)...the game window is fixed (is not manipulable in terms of size) and of course everything is much smaller...

How do I get the game back into full screen format???

Updated to 1.51 a while back with no probs if it helps.

PS tried this from a previous thread :

but to fix it just go to options and change the resolutions then it will fix itself, then just change back to the resolution you had it on and everything will be back to normal

and to no effect.

Not sure about this, but look in your local.ini in dow directory. Set screenwindow=0 . I suppose you have it =1 now.

If the game stays 20m. in badge transfer just go to the console(ctrl,shift,ñ) and type quit, then press enter and you're out. No need to restart.
