Captain claw game not playing in full screen mode?

This is an .exe file that runs smoothly, but it doesn't allow me to play in full-screen mode. It's quite frustrating to play like this.

 

 

  • Contact the game publisher for help. This has nothing to do with Windows 11. Might be you should run this legacy game on an old device such as Windows 7.

    1.Check Game Settings: Look for an in-game option that allows you to toggle between windowed and full-screen mode. This is often found in the settings or options menu.

    2.Keyboard Shortcuts: Sometimes you can switch to full screen by pressing Alt + Enter while the game is in windowed mode.

    3.Compatibility Settings: If you are using a newer operating system, try running the game in compatibility mode. Right-click the game executable, go to Properties, then the Compatibility tab, and choose a previous version of Windows.

    4.Graphics Driver Update: Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can sometimes cause display issues with games.

    5.Resolution Settings: Check your display resolution and ensure it matches the game's resolution settings. You may need to adjust these settings in your operating system or in the game settings if available.

    The most efficient way is to contact the game developer and ask them if it supports full screen in Windows 11.

      Yeah. Screen mode is common for legacy console games.

    If you're still facing issues, you can consider third-party applications like Borderless Gaming or Fullscreenizer, which help run games in full-screen or borderless windowed mode.
