Exclusive Fulscreen, how?
So i asked earlier but my question was buried underneath nonstop threads from a minority of people with seriously thin skin complaining about stupid s*** that nobody actually cares about.

The first game had a real exclusive fullscreen mode, this second game does not list one, its just borderless touted as fullscreen. Anyways, in KCD1, using exclusive gave the best FPS, borderless and windowed [same thing functionally] gave less, maybe 30 fps less.

I'm curious to see if forcing exclusive mode would do the same thing, but there is no option. Has anybody tried this? If you played KCD1 you have to know what i'm talking about, it was one of the only ways to make the game playable for a lot of people.

Note: If you already have a custom config file there is no need to create one, simply add it to your own. If you don't know what I'm talking about, follow all the steps in blimeys post below and enjoy free FPS. Gains are variable.

my problem is the fps decays after playing a while, I'm also curious if playing exclusive would help with that

Looks full screen to me. There is no border, no window, whole screen full. No taskbar, nothing at the top to click and drag it around.
That's full screen.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "full screen".

Hot dog, i dont know why i didnt think to do that. I have good news however! I gained 30-40 fps in kuttenberg! It's just like the first game! it runs insanely faster in exclusive mode! I have no idea why this isnt normal, or maybe because I'm using two monitors its soft disabled who cares, but i just gained mad FPS and saved a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO.

On top of using A DLSS injector with frame generation im getting over 150fps on mostly all experimental settings save for textures because i dont care and onject detail is on ultra [it is expensive] My game is also feeling even smoother and any input lag is basically gone from the frame generation. I imagine the boost will be slightly less than half as much if you are not using frame gen, which isnt even supported by the game anyways.

Note: If you already have a custom config file there is no need to create one, simply add it to your own. If you don't know what I'm talking about, follow all the steps in blimeys post.

Is exclusive fullscreen the one that screws up my graphics settings for everything else on my computer so I have to manually change them back again every time I play the game?
I hate that setting then. I guess I can see it though for people with older or less expensive systems.

i literally have no idea what you are talking about. you are speaking complete gibberish. its simply a rendering mode, thats it, it has nothing to do with money. its the way we have rendered computer graphics for ages. just drop it dude. if you really want to know, just look it up, im not going to spoonfeed you.

I did look it up and it looks like the one that changes all my computer graphics settings unless I go into the in game graphics settings and change it to windowed mode.
I really hate exiting one of those games and finding half my desktop icons are off the screen or rearranged to fit the new resolution.
This is the description I found:
"When you switch to "exclusive fullscreen" mode, your computer graphics settings change because this mode allows the application (like a game) to take complete control of your display, essentially forcing your system to use the resolution and other graphical settings specified by the application, rather than your default desktop settings; this can result in a change in your screen resolution, refresh rate, and other visual aspects when you enter full screen mode.

you clearly misunderstood, it doesnt change anything nor do you have to configure or set anything up besides enabling it, it just works, its either on or off, thats it nothing more. you are waaaay overthinking things. its automatic. its not black magic. all of that 'forces system to use etc etc' stuff is happening automatically in the background, you dont do a single thing except play your game and close it when youre done.

Having dealt with games that change the computer's graphics settings and seeing that being the description of what "exclusive fullscreen" does, I think you may be the one with comprehension issues.
If the game feature doesn't store the computer's graphics settings when it runs and restore them on exit, it screws up your display settings which is incredibly annoying.
No "black magic" required.

You're a complete moron, i'm sorry. it sounds like you have issues that go far beyond understanding what exclusive fullscreen is. you literally use it all the time and you dont even know it... because its automatic. and because you dont understand the explanation the internet gives you, the problem now exists between your chair and the keyboard [take a good look] Nothing but word salad from you.

How exactly have I misunderstood this part of the description: "forcing your system to use the resolution and other graphical settings specified by the application, rather than your default desktop settings; this can result in a change in your screen resolution, refresh rate, and other visual aspects when you enter full screen mode. "

And how is it that when that is exactly what happens to my system when some games that take complete control of my computer's graphics, close, you are so certain it isn't?

WORD SALAD

because it changes back after its done, if it doesnt, reset the driver with ctrl-shift-b. its the software with the problem, EF has nothing to do with anything. you literally play games that use it all of the time and you dont even realize it. i dont know how many times i have to tell you it has nothing to do with anything.

It only changes back if the game changes it back. I think that's the part you're not understanding. The game is changing the computer's settings when you load it. Unless its programmed to restore those settings on exit, you get what I'm talking about. Not all games are designed to accommodate that. Several of the games I own through Steam that take control like that, fail to restore your computer's graphic settings on exit.
But thanks for the ctrl-shft-B suggestion. I'll try that next time.
