This is a bug that has persisted since the very first of the Retribution changes appeared on Duality. The client will simply flash for a brief moment after starting and then vanish (pressing alt+enter will allow you to enter windowed mode, go to 'fixed window' settings, and then there are no issues, but at the cost of a significant FPS hit once you're in-game).

Why has this not been fixed? Is this bug seriously going to persist into release?

Full screen works 100% fine for me

Well it works fine with some fiddling, but I can't start the game in fullscreen or else it doesn't get off the ground. Again, this problem has not been addressed and has existed since the first set of frigate changes went out on Duality.

Are you sure its a client issue and not just a problem with your computer?

Full-screen worked fine for me without changing anything at all

Can you please tell me if you still have these same issues on the Buckingham server?

This server is running the latest staging code, I have been unable to reproduce the full-screen issue you have described so far so any further detail would be greatly appreciated either in the form of a bug report or in this forum thread.

I am in fact still having this problem on the Buckingham server. I have bugreported this before I'm fairly certain, but I will do so again later today.
