No Exclusive Fullscreen mode? I can only choose Borderless Fullscreen or Windowed?

[Obey the Fist!]

What's with that? The game may not run optimally on a huge proportion of systems without the ability to run Exclusive Fullscreen.

Not sure why this seems to be a trend in gaming now..it's so annoying.

Especially since there is a bug if you are on 4k and you change resolution to 144p the game doesn't scale so you get a tiny little game window.

Maybe this is why I got a reminder notification popup in the middle of playing. I thought they were normally disabled in Win11 in a full-screen game.

Seriously. I hate this trend

So basically, the way DX12 games work is that Exclusive Full screen does not really exist anymore. It works the same as border less full screen.

Dont ask me why though I have no idea. I just no that the downsides of borderless fullscreen compared to exclusive full screen no longer exist in DX12

I guess you have to try use Win 11 "game mode" or something to try block those. Or, you know, Bethesda could supply us with the normal set of config options people expect from a game with this kind of price tag.

Yeah it sucks because I can't turn my resolution down to boost my FPS, I'm forced to play in 1440p at fullscreen, if I could play in fullscreen at 1080, I'd easily get a 15-20 FPS boost at 1080p, but the game won't let me do that.

use the render res scale slider.. it does the same thing but keeps the UI native res so it looks good.

Here's the thing though, I have two monitors: one 4k screen and one 1080p screen. I get over 10fps more with my 1080p screen at the same settings (ultra) than with my 4k screen (rendering resolution scaled to 50%). Internal rendering resolution is the same for both but still the game performs better on native 1080p monitor than on 4k monitor with scaled down rendering resolution.

If it's a D3D12 game, D3D12 doesn't really have a true full screen exclusive mode. You'd have to use D3D11 for that.

Thats really a serious issue for me. I use dldsr to get a higher resolution. I have a 1080p monitor and I play withcer 3 in 2880x1620p by using dldsr. But we need fullscreen mode for that. Really hate this.

Ok, I never thought this would happen, but I may just refund this if there's no way to run it in exclusive full screen. In windowed 1440p the game runs great, but in borderless even at 50% resolution scale it runs way worse!

[[7AS] Mood]

Having same issues I've had to refund the game as its just unplayable. I too have a 4k main monitor and is forcing me to play in that resolution, my secondary is 1080 and works around 60fps but looks garbage.

[WASP]

The other problem with not having exclusive fullscreen is, if you have a 4K monitor and you need to use 2K or 1080P, you end up with a small ish window in the top left corner of your monitor, because Borderless Windows is Native resolution only, so if you want fullscreen you are forced to use 4K only.

On other games Exclusive Fullscreen resizes lower resolutions to fill in screen space, many modern games still use Exclusive Fullscreen, I've only seen a few including this that does not support it.

dx12, no efs

You can change the render scale ingame. Look up the percentage for the resolution you want to use. Not ideal but at least the option is there.

If you have an Nvidia card you could use Nvidia Image Scaling to force it to render at a lower resolution.
