    Lightbulb Play -FULL- screen on chrome, with NO black side borders, distortion, or quality loss

    Posted this in answer to a technical problems thread but thought it might be of interest to a lot of players so I'm posting it here with a clear title.

    If you have not done this yet do it right now and you will never ever revert back... In fact it will seem like a whole new game and you will wonder how you ever managed to play the boxed in version! Here are screenshots of the difference it makes - note wider peripheral vision!

    1.Find the exact dimensions of your screen resolution. You can do this by googling there are websites which will detect it for you such as the following

    http://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com/

    Mine is:

    1366 x 768

    2. Open the App in chrome; in the address bar you should have something similar to this:

    http://account.spacetimestudios.com/arcanelegends

    3. On the end of this you must tag on your screen dimensions. Replace my numbers with the ones you get from identifying the size of YOUR screen.

    http:// account.spacetimestudios.com/arcanelegends /?w=1366&h=768

    (Do not include spaces. They are included here for formatting reasons only)

    4. Once the game is open and you have logged in it will look at bit cut off around the edges. This is because the game is now fitted perfectly to your screen for playing in full screen mode.

    Settings -> Full Screen

    or simply press the full screen hotkey which on my computer is F11

    Voila. Full screen magic perfectly fitted to your screen with no cut off edges and no black borders.

    Good luck let me know how you get on ^_^

    Its been working. The problem you have maybe with your pc there are threads here that explain how to fix it. You probably need a older version of chrome.

    omg, i love this, BUT i'd like to ask about something on the bottom left/right corner of my screen. it keeps saying "Waiting for account.spacetimestudios.com...". if i scroll onto it with my mouse, it just moves on to the other side. how do i fix this?

    EDIT: Actually, nvm! it was because I kept refreshing!

    I'm still getting used to having such a big view. Such a easy fix. Bump so more people see it.

    If I have the app of arcane legends on google chrome downloaded how do I get it to open and already be full screen, because I did the full screen and it was great but after a while the app wouldn't load but to 88%. It made me have to restart my pc and when I started the app my emails I had saved to log in were gone and I had to download all patches like I just got the app. :S. Scared to do it again! My data hurts

    To get it to be automatically full screen without having to edit each time, just save the full address including values in your bookmarks bar.

    Right click bookmarks bar in a space such as the empty grey space after the last bookmark to the right -> add page ->

    Name: Arcane Legends
    URL: http:// account.spacetimestudios.com/arcanelegends /?w=1366&h=768 (the version with your values obviously if theyre diff from mine :P)

    Once saved, if you can't see the bookmark on the bar, click the little double arrow like this " >>" which is to the far right of the bar, find your new bookmark at bottom of list and drag it onto the bar to the position where you want it.

    Then don't load from Apps, just click it in the bookmarks bar and it will load that way everytime.

    This is how I do it and it absolutely does not make me redownload anything ever except when there is an actual patch (and I've been playing this way since just before Ursoth event... nothing strange has ever happened whatsoever period )
