Give us an option to disable the Windowed Mode for game start up.   I absolutely dont like it and would greatly apreciate having the option to select full screen at game start up.

For some of us our mouse updates position once every 3-6 seconds.  Makes that click a challenge.

I agree, I dislike this new addition. When I blackout I can see a bright line on the edges of my screen. AH in windowed mode is slow, not to mention my start bar covers the chat buffer

The windowed mode is only at the beginning of the game showing the splash screen.  Offline or Online takes the game into full screen mode.

It is done that way so people with firewalls have the oppertunity to allow the game back through after each patch.  You would be surprised how many people do not know how to allow an application through their firewall, and how many complain about the game being borked when their firewall blocks it.

No I wouldn't...particularly when they prepend the problem statement with "I know a lot about computers..."

What I am Asking for is for an option a user can select, that will disable windowed mode at the beginning of the game.

All you have to do is click on the maximise button once and forget it.
That brings everything back to normal size for me, and normal boot up time.

HTC doesn't go backwards. This is something that will indeed make their life easier.
So accept it and learn how to work with it.

It's looks like it is in full screen but if you click round the edges it goes to desktop?

I've got duel monitors and I know now I can move my mouse outside the game into the other monitor now.  Doesn't really effect my game play though, I doubt I'll accidentally click myself out of the game (I've still got the window's key to do that  :rolleyes:).

Apparently it was addressed in the last patch.

I'd like the option too, since if I don't minimize the game while it's still loading, the joystick controls malfunction.
