Fullscreen (Windowed) Mode?

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:14 am

Has anyone found a method for running the game in Fullscreen (Windowed) mode (aka Fake Fullscreen, Borderless Windowed, etc).

I like to be able quickly interact with my other monitors without having to fully minimize/maximize but I really dislike traditional windowed mode (breaks immersion too much).

I would LOVE to have this, as I get some slight stutter when running in Fullscreen, but not in Windowed, same as with Skyrim--which is odd, since it isn't even the same engine.

I experience the same issue in several games... it used to be that in windowed mode you lost some performance but overall I seem to get better performance in windowed mode (even running at the same resolution).

The only really good reason to run in real Fullscreen these days is to make sure CF/SLI are working (if you have a CF/SLI setup... which most people don't).

Please add Borderless window option. Its a standard option nowadays. Everybody has at least a dual setup. playing fullscreen is too frustrating .

PS: if you have poor performance in window mode, add the game to Lucid Virtu, it should double those frames

Also from recent multiplatorm games using the same Unreal Engine, X-Com has no problems and has borderless windows straight on the options. Works flawlessy so I see no reason why it isn't implemented in Dishonored too...
