Resources

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

Game startup crash or no video from Steam

  • Launch by Future Soldier DX11.exe (or Future Soldier DX9.exe for DirectX 9 mode)
    • Find EXE files by Steam > Game (right-click) > Manage > Browse Local Files
