    -Now waits for the game to start
    -Once the game starts it minimizes the game before maximizing (you wont notice this)

    This is done because if certain types of programs are fullscreen on your monitor, the mod can still fail to trigger the maximize.

    I have a different issue: The game launches in borderless fullscreen but stays minimized and cannot be maximized. This mod doesn't change anything about it either. Any ideas what might cause this?

      Try running it in compatibility mode for Windows 7. This is what fixed it for me. (In case you don't know how) Right-click the Starfield.exe, click Properties, select the compatibility tab, check the compatibility mode box and select Windows 7. Click Apply and OK

      @MyserDP9SSE interesting, this works! I've only encountered this issue rarely in the last couple weeks but only today it happens 99% of the time when I launch the game. Looks more like it is related to something else, for example the new MO2 beta 11. Btw it also works when stetting compatibility mode for Windows 8. I wonder if this mode could have any drawback to DirectX 12 support etc.?

      Huh this mod is supposed to help with that issue.

      If you could try this for me, turn off compat mode to make the bug happen again. Then when its mimized hit ctrl+shift+esc to bring up task manager, expand the starfield dropdown, right click on the sub starfield, and click maximize.

      Let me know if that maximizes your game.

      @RedxYeti yes, following those steps maximizes the game successfully. But they have to be done every time again when I launch the game.

      Alright I'll try and update my code again, for now id suggest the compatibility mode for you.

      The task manager steps is basically what this code does but task manager has more privilege.


      Another thing you can check is in documents/my games/sfse  and check the asi loader log to see if the plug in loading correctly.

      Fwiw: The plugin seems to load successfully:

      What I observed today is:
      When I first time launch the game after a computer boot, it maximizes the game window. Any successive launches fail to do so.

      If you'd like you can try out the beta version. I'm having much better luck with it, it tries to bring the window into the foreground as well as maximizing now.

      I had this issue and this is what fixed it for me. I do not have this mod installed, this is a fix I made a week ago:

      Spoiler:  
      Show

      In your StarfieldPrefs.ini

      bBorderless=0
      bFull Screen=1

      or paste this into your StarfieldCustom.ini:

      [Display]
      bBorderless=0
      bFull Screen=1

      @RedxYeti Alas, the beta doesn't fix it for. Still the same behavior as before.

      @HumanNPC Thanks for the hint! I tried setting it like that in the custom.ini before and it didn't fix it.

      HOWEVER: Setting it ALSO in the StarfieldPrefs.ini FIXES it for me! Very interesting. Then it works even without this mod. And Even though it is set to bFull screen=1 and bBorderless=0 the game still seems to run in some sort of borderless window, not in a dedicated fullscreen mode like Skyrim used to (which would hang up Skyrim whenever switching to desktop).

    StarfieldPrefs.ini
    [Display]
    bBorderless=0
    bFull Screen=1

    No mod needed... Always starts the game full screen maximized

      i uploaded a beta version. if this one doesnt work in your plugins folder, try putting it in your data folder or main starfield folder.

      if that doesnt work i have no clue what the issue is.

    Can you please upload a standalone version for Asi loader (for example Ultimate Asi Loader) ?

    So we can use it without SFSE ?

    idk if the folder structure is fine for MO2, but it's not compatible with Vortex. The archive would need to simply be plugins\StarfieldMaximizationFix.asi. No "Starfield Maximization Fix" folder.
