    Anyone experience this issue?

    I'll randomly crash and when i relaunch it will try to launch in full screen. I can sign in and connect to sever then when i select my toon it crashes on the load... I need to do this 10-30 times before it will finally go back to playing in a window..

    I've tried every key combination to force it to a window with no luck.

    any ideas?

    What's it do when you load the game without razor?

    Let me try.. I think i might have found part of the problem...

    I unchecked force window size in razor which then lets me load the game in full screen.. when i log in and go into options i see "use full screen display" is ticked so i can un check it and then everything is fine.

    What I'm guessing is maybe I'm hitting a short cut key to force "use full screen display"??

    Yes, that's what I was thinking.

    The problem is I have no clue what the key combination I'm hitting is!

    If... if the root of your issue is hitting a fullscreen macro...

    It could be any one or combination of...

    ESC
    ctrl+f (got a capital F in your password? I hit ctrl by accident alot)
    and sometimes, TAB

    I'm just wondering if your settings got messed up by accident just this one time. Let's hope, eh?

    G'luck

    This happens maybe 3-4 times a week... then it forces me to crash the client about 30 times before it kicks back into run in a window mode.. really strange.

    if you accidently got into the full screen flicker crash, try to hit Option+Return again, quit it, reopen on razor disable force screensize, should be ok

    This. I've had it happen a few times. Gets real screwy. Eventually if you hit alt enter a few times or so you can get it back to a normal window. I'm just happy it runs as well as it does.

    Yeah, this solution works for me! its the force resolution which screws things up.

    thanks all!

    You can force it a little bigger if you want! I think I have my client at 700x900, so just a tad larger. But every bit counts!
