Borderless windowed mode not responding. Fullscreen works fine

[Sirosky]

It's stuck on the loading screen, but when I click where the menu buttons normally are, the game responds with the UI sounds. But the game screen just remains stuck in the loading screen. This issue does not occur in Fullscreen mode. I'm running Windows 10, no mods launched with the game.

Interesting, that's the opposite of the problem we more commonly see.

Has this always happened? Or only since what change or update?

DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

Hi. I actually nuked my Documents/Paradox/CK2 folder completely. Started the game again, switched to borderless, restarted. The game now works properly.

But what's interesting is that I have other Clausewitz engine games which have this exact same issue. I've deleted the folders under Documents/Paradox but that didn't solve anything. I've only recently reinstalled CKII. I think the issue arose after I upgraded to Windows 10 1809. In the past, I've never had any problems with borderless mode.

I've uploaded the requested documents below, but these are after I deleted the CK2 folder and the game is working properly. If you have any idea of what might've been causing this issue, please let me know!

Well, it was the April Win10 updates that caused the opposite problem (would only run in Windowed mode) for all our games with many nVidia users. So i guess they've fixed that issue in 1809 but maybe gone too far in the opposite direction :shrug:

Lol weird. I only updated to 1809 because I wanted dark mode for Windows Explorer. Do you have any idea what might be causing the problem?

 

[AndrewT]

In general, some interaction between Win 10 updates and the nVidia driver. Specifically, not really, no, sorry - this is rather out of my realm!

Shucks hopefully this issue resolves itself in the future :/
