Fix: Battlefield 3 won't run in full screen

I have experienced this issue and I have found on some forums that others have come across this too.

Symptoms:

  • Battlefield 3 won't run in full screen even though Full Screen option is enabled


I have found that this is caused by TeamViewer remote access software. If TeamViewer is running in the taskbar on Windows, this will (so some unknown reason) prevent BattleField from running full screen.

Fix

  • Close out of TeamViewer.


Let us know if you have had this issue and if this fix worked for you.

Gaming for the Kids

Bloodshot eyes have a team who are on a mission to save kids through video games, and we need your help.


Can you spare a little time on October 20th to game in honour of sick kids and raise some much needed funds for research and treatments?

If not, can you spare a couple of dollars to donate to a worthy cause? If not, can you at least head over to out facebook page and give us a “like”.

Our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, is Westmead Hospital in Sydney, where thousands of children are treated each year, regardless of their family's ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents to name just a few.

Last year, Extra Life raised more than 1.2 million dollars to save kids, but in 2012 our goals, just like the needs of the kids we serve, are much, much higher.

Our team captain, Petria Follett (bodgie sparkle) will be pledging a full 24 hours and will be live tweeting throughout the day from @bodgiesparkle.

If you would like to participate, please join the team here: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=8986

If you would like to donate, please follow the “Support Me” link on the Home page. You can also track our progress using the widget we have added to the home page. Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids.  Credit Card and paypal is available.

We can’t think of a better reason to game the day and night away!

BSE has started a clan

These days it seems the only fun way to play games is with friends one way or another. Back in the day, it was gathering at a friend's house and sharing a split screen. Today with the internet and gaming laptops, we can still play the same game, but from a screen to ourselves.



What better way to show that you are part of a greater group but to become part of a clan?

Bloodshot Eyes has started its own clan with a clan tag and everything. While not all games use clan tags, it shouldn't stop you from joining and adding it to your signature, gamertag or some showing you are part of a group that is all about friendly and fun gaming.

Where you can, use the tag BSE and show that you are all about Bloodshot Eyes.

For more information, see the [BSE] Clan page.
