Starting packaged game in Window mode

After I package my game and start the exe, it by default uses full screen without window. This confuses some of my users because they can’t figure out how to close the game. How do I start packaged game in maximized window by default?

There’s an amazing node I discovered the other day. In your GameMode, add a GetGameUserSettings node. From that you can do all sorts including changing the fullscreen mode.

Attempting to change using the GameMode doesn’t work for me (4.17.2, VR)

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

Remember that Once you have retrieved the GameUserSettings reference and Set the FullScreen Mode, it will not apply the changes until you call the Apply Settings function (node) on that GameUserSettings reference.

You can change things around all you want but it won’t actually take hold until you Apply Settings (which also saves changes to the .INI file it is using).
