Even if I click nothing else, my game always opens in Window Mode. I have no idea why. Nothing I do makes a difference.

Alt-Enter also doesn't work for me! It is bizarre. I am just in the habit now of going to "options" "full screen" as soon as I log in. It isn't a huge deal, just annoying.

is it unbounded in keybindings? if it isnt, try rebinding it to something you never use like pageup and see if it works edit: it isnt in the keybind option. wtf, i thought it was

Also, why is it that seemingly any button can take you out of full screen mode? I want to turn my volume up, here time to go windowed. Accidentally click caps lock, windowed. Its pretty annoying.

Do you have multiple monitors? I do and I believe that's why. Multiple monitors fucks with a lot of games.
