Before You Start The Game
- tl;dr Edit default.cfg and set Fullscreen False and Resolution 1920x1080
- Location: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier
- The game launches in exclusive fullscreen mode at 1280x720 by default which will resize your windows really small and possibly mess up the organization of your desktop icons. Set to a reasonable windowed resolution until you get it configured in-game to your liking.
- Once you are happy with your settings, re-edit default.cfg and go fullscreen at your true desired resolution.
Tips
Launch the game from the EXE not Steam
- tl;dr Launch the game from the EXE not Steam to avoid Steam launch errors and a Steam issue where it can't tell if the game is no longer running
- Find EXE files by Steam > Game (right-click) > Manage > Browse Local Files
Disable Intro Videos
- tl;dr Download blank BIK file (link), delete or rename Video folder files out of the way: SPL_ESRB_UBI_CLANCY.bik, SPL_Intro_Trailer.bik, SPL_RSE_Logo_fade.bik, and then copy&rename the blank BIK to each of those file names
- Find BIK files by Steam > Game (right-click) > Manage > Browse Local Files
- See PC Gaming Wiki fix
Use Borderless Gaming App To Force Borderless Windowed Mode
- tl;dr Use Borderless Gaming to force borderless windowed mode when game is configured in windowed mode
- Game only supports old exclusive fullscreen mode or old windowed mode with title bar and taskbar visible
- Configure the game from the default.cfg file to non-fullscreen windowed mode and then Borderless Gaming can force borderless windowed mode from there

- Launch by Future Soldier DX11.exe (or Future Soldier DX9.exe for DirectX 9 mode)
