[2020] Stellaris not working in Full Screen

This is an issue with certain nVidia setups on Windows 10, we've never been able to pin down why it affects some users and not others.

You should use borderless mode, which is functionally identical to fullScreen. In fact some games now come with no fullScreen mode at all!  

We cannot fix that problem as we did not cause it. It has come and gone a few times since it first appeared nearly 2 years ago now; whether it was nVidia or Windows updates or some combination we are not sure.

Can I ask what problem playing in borderless causes you, vs playing in fullScreen? As I mentioned games are starting to not even have a fullScreen mode any more (eg CK3) so it's nothing to do with how old the game is.

What you could try is disabling fullScreen optimisations in the compatibility tab for stellaris.exe , that may have the same effect as borderless.

I'm not sure on what basis you come to that conclusion, but I'm only passing on what our developers have said.

Did you try this?  

As you think apparently our developers are lying or lazy, this conversation is over.
