      My supcom keeps minimizing on launch.

      I've reinstalled FA, switched drives it's on, deleted everything from cache to files. Disabled everything running too (anti virus etc.)

      Any ideas would be appreciated. Whenever i keep opening it just minimizes again.

        @wetlettuce Go to FAF client > top left menu > Show game.prefs file.

        You should get a folder open with a game.prefs file inside. Open that file in a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++. Once that's open, search for primary_adapter. You should get 2 results:

        • one will be nested together with the rest of the settings you can change in the games Options menu
        • the other will be with a bunch of resolution choices.

        You want the one nestled with the other in-game Options settings. Change the setting for that primary_adapter to windowed.

        After making that change, save your change while being sure to change the File Type to All so that your saved document saves with the name game.prefs instead of something like game.prefs.txt or similar.

        This should allow to you to get into the game & then you can go to the in-game Options > Video to select the resolution you want.
