Not Windowed Mode = Death

<div class="IPBDescription">Resolution Changing Loop</div>So I unchecked window mode in the video settings, thinking, why in the world would I want to run a FPS in a window, and now the game crashed and when I start it, it does not display anything, but keeps looping my resolution.

Any fixes or ideas on where to start? I have 2 monitors, and I can see the size changing and the window position moving.

    Then you can set it back to normal.

    Hi, load up explorer (like my documents or mycomputer) type in the bar %appdata% go to natural selection 2, it should be in Roaming if it is not in the main %appdata% folder,

    Then edit options.xml in notepad (open with > notepad)

    find the line <fullscreen> change false to true

    it should read

    <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><fullscreen>true</fullscreen><!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

    You can also change the resolution under
    <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><y-resolution>1080</y-resolution>
                <x-resolution>1920</x-resolution><!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

    Had this problem too. The only thing that fixed it for me was following these instructions
    <a href="http://supportwiki.steampowered.com/wiki/Setting_Game_Launch_Options" target="_blank">http://supportwiki.steampowered.com/wiki/S..._Launch_Options</a>

    Basically setting the Width and Height were what saved me.
