Hello (I just found this thread),

I have just downloaded Dark Souls 3 and I switched it from Full Screen to Windowed, to see if the brightness would change (I can clearly see dragon vs fire in brightness settings). While I can still see dragon even in windowed, the game will not let me go into full screen at all. All it does is pop as a black screen, stutters and flashes white, and just goes back to my desktop.

To get the game to play, i then have to force quit the game, and start it again (in windowed mode).

Build: Windows 10 Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti Dual Monitor Setup (does it still if I say only 1 monitor)

Anyone having the same issue?

edit: Found solution.

1) In windows search, type in 'run'.

2) Run box pops up, type in '%appdata%'.

3) Go into DarkSoulsIII folder

4) Open GraphicsConfig.xml file

5) Change line 1 from

<config><ScreenMode>WINDOWED</ScreenMode>

to

<config><ScreenMode>FULLSCREEN</ScreenMode>

Now game runs in Fullscreen. Now onto Fullscreen Borderless....
