Starts minimised

[Psiphon]

Hi all,

 

I've been playing the game for some time and all has been well. I've been logging in on a laptop and a PC, the PC is fine but recently I logged onto the laptop and minimised the COH window (run it in a window). Since then when I try to play the game it starts in a minimised view and I'm not able to open the game up. I can hear it and see the window on the taskbar but I'm not able to maximise the window and play the game or change the settings.

I've deleted the folder and reinstalled a number of times but the issue remains. I assume that the setting is held on the server.

 

Can you please help?

 

Regards

 

Steve

I've had this happen to me.  If you hover over the icon in the task bar does the preview window pop up?  If so, right click it to bring up restore, maximize, etc.

 

If that doesn't do it for you then I leave it to the smarter brains.

Hi Korbian,

 

Thank you. I tried right clicking and various other Windows 10 keystrokes and couldn't bring that menu up bit hovering the mouse and a bit of patience did the job.  :)

In case anyone comes across this and is on a Windows computer. Here's how to force the size. While I haven't tried it, this is a literal copy of my registry settings for the game. I play in 1080p and full screen. Once this is done you can change things in-game.

 

Copy the following into Notepad and make sure the extension is ".REG"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\coh]
"screenX"="1920"
"screenY"="1080"
"screenX_pos"="0"
"screenY_pos"="0"
"maximized"="0"
"fullScreen"="1"

 

For the less certain, if your screen Isn't 1080p, then simply change the numbers accordingly (higher number for screen).
