    Much appreciated, thank you! Miscellaneous Added a new command line parameter: -gfxreset This will cause the game to reset all graphics settings and launch the game in windowed mode. Added some safety checks to game startup to ensure the game will not try to run borderless or on a monitor that's no longer connected.

    Update: Cleaning my drivers with DDU had no effect... As a side note, I setup my other 1440x900p monitor and the game boots flawlessly. My theory was correct to a point and here's what i mean. I've come to the conclusion that this is a priority issue by windows 8.1 with VGA monitors. I've yet to fix the issue, but the reason for the crash or failure to boot the game is because the game wants to boot on the number "1" display. In my case, it was disconnected during troubleshooting. So, this isn't a resolution issue per-say. For example, i have an issue with VGA on windows 8.1 wanting to ALWAYS be the number 1 display, not necessarily the Primary display, that's the key here. I have my number "2" display (1920x1080) LCD set to primary, but windows will not allow it to become my number 1 monitor. It's a tad confusing, but this only happens with VGA inputs. I'm sure i'll find a solution in time. Thank you all for your time and helping me troubleshoot! Back up and running!

    Yes, and yes. I've tried -screen 1920 1080 and my default resolution is set to 1920x1080 in windows. Although, you may be onto something. I've thought about it myself, but I used "Display Driver Uninstaller" or DDU to uninstall my old drivers and cleaned all the assets related to AMD's Crimson and R9 280. But....That would make a lot of sense for the conflict. I'll keep tinkering and perhaps give my drivers another cleaning with DDU. Thanks for the obvious but fresh idea!!

    I assume you mean in the in-game options menu and by selecting from Fullscreen, Borderless Windowed, and Windowed. My problem is that my game wont even post/boot through the client. It fails and gives me an error message saying, "Couldn't change to fullscreen", then it tries to boot the game in windowed mode at 800x600 then fails to run at that resolution because i'm on a 16:9 1080p monitor and not a 16:10 (or 4:3) 900p monitor. The reason for it failing to load with a different dimension is what's concerning to me, most games would load even if the dimensions aren't correct. You could simply fix it in game. Sadly, i cannot boot the game to get to that step. I'll have to wait for a cable i ordered to come in and connect my 1400x900p monitor to boot the game on that monitor then switch it to Borderless Windowed. At least i think this will solve this little but annoying bug. I'm open for an alternative solutions if my theory flops. I do appreciate the help and welcome any ideas or advise!

    Correct, i have Windows 8.1, but it only displays the primary 1920x1080 monitor. The other monitor isn't connected because i upgraded to a new graphics card which doesn't support DVI-24+5, but Dual-Link DVI-24+1 (Also VGA to Displayport). So, i'll have to wait for the cable to be shipped in order to test my theory of running the game on a 16:10 aspect ratio. Then from there, set the game to windowed rather than fullscreen. I'm hopeful it'll work, but i have my doubts as well. Thanks again for helping me troubleshoot this issue i'm having, bless you!!

    Hi, thanks for the quick replay Tahquitz! Sadly, there's no change. When i start the client it displays the same error message of not being able to boot in fullscreen. I understand it's as simple as playing in windowed mode, but i can't seem to even boot the game all together. I've also done a fresh re-install before hand. Besides that, i'm sort of clueless without being able to adjust ini. files. Have any other ideas? Also, thanks for the help! Edit: I have an idea of what created the problem to begin with and i'm in the process of fixing said problem. If i remember correctly, i may have been running the game on two different monitors. My main 16:9 1920x1080 and a side monitor which is SVGA 6:10 1440x900. It's currently not connected because i'm in the process of ordering a VGA to Displayport cable. Could this be solved by booting the game on the SVGA 16:10 monitor? Could it really be that simple, because 800x600 is SVGA?

    Hi, i had a few questions regarding an error i've been getting. When ever i try and run COH's, i get this error message and then the game tries loading and simply fails... This all started when i took a month break for the holidays to see family and in the process i purchased a new Graphics card, upgrading from a R9 280 to a GTX 1060. I played for roughly two weeks in "Safe Mode" because of the boot error. Now with the recent update, there's no longer a safe mode and i'm forced to figure out what my options are exactly? Any help will be greatly appreciated!! (((I've found the cause to my issues located in my last response at the bottom of the page titled "Update")))

    Hi, I've also had sounds fade out completely, although rare, it has happened to me a few times. What does happen quite frequently, is power's sounds become GREATLY louder than other powers, such as the Siphon Speed and Siphon Boost powers. When it happens it makes me cringe at how loud it can be over other powers. It could be due to the fact that i have my in-game audio effects and music lowered to 10 out of 100. Maybe the issue would go away if i left the in-game audio at default (100) and lowered my headphones volume over the in-game audio. Maybe you've done the same, and is the reason for your audio issues? I will test this theory...
