Borderless?

It'd be really nice to have that as an option, current option menu is a really weird design as well.

Borderless seems to work fine when using Borderless Gaming. Just select one of the Windowed options when the game launches, and BG will auto-maximize it to your desktop resolution.

[Phennuc]

Oh, okay, that's kinda weird though. Didn't think it'd work so I didn't even give it a shot.

[ThreeSon]

Yeah it's okay although there are a few minor glitches - when starting the game you need to wait for the intro logos and title screen to finish playing. If you try to press a key or button Windows will give you the "game not responding" error.

Also, if your desktop refresh rate is higher than 60 Hz you may have trouble with some minor flickering textures. Not very noticeable but it's there.

And finally, you'll need to move the mouse cursor away from the center of the screen so it doesn't block the game window.

[Phennuc]

Well that sounds like a lot of inconvenient stuff. Hope they add in borderless as a built in...

[ThreeSon]

It's really minor stuff to me - only affects the first 15 seconds or so of play time - but even an official borderless mode would likely have the same issues.

The flickering texture thing isn't that minor. It's an eyesore and an epilepsy hazard.

It's only a few textures in the game that are affected, not all of them. And they don't flicker on and off, they just change colors for a split-second.

But if it does bother you, you can do what I did which is just to limit the FPS for the game to 60. I use RTSS, but if you have an Nvidia card, you can also use Nvidia Inspector. You only need to make that change once and then it will be permanently fixed.

I'm sure I'll find a way to fix this stuff, it's still a minor negative though.
Call me addicted to plug and play, but that's what people expect now, and so do I. Plus, what's minor and fixable to one might not be so to others

The game is very old what do you expect, a modern menu design?

[JAGIELSKI]

Why use borderless if you can run the game at native res? Borderless usually kills FPS as well, though in case of this game it may not matter.

[Phennuc]

Oh yea why run borderless when every time you tab out you could show your desktop contents on stream.
There are MANY reasons people choose borderless and personally I haven't had fps issues because of it in a long while.

Game might be old. But this is a 2019 re-release. They coded in at least achievement support if not more. Could have added borderless mode too... And make the menu at least more compact than a complete list of everything.
