Full Window Mode?

[wurm213]

Any Full Window Mode planned for this game?
It's annoying to switch to my second monitor and see the game blubs away.
However, sometimes when I do this, the game crash. No Error Code tho, I can only close it in my task manager and start again.

Could you elaborate a bit more please?

The next small update (it should go out today) will give the ability to not pause the game while it isn't focused. I'm not sure if that's one of the things troubling you :S.

I meant a feature with Fullscreen but in Window Mode (Borderless), so I can use my 2nd Monitor.
Actually I just "tab" out from the game and it close to taskbar and sometimes, when I do this the game just crash without an error code. It hangs and the only way is just to terminate it within the taskmanager.

The feature that you mentioned is also needed for this purpose, because the game should run in the background while doing something else (at the 2nd Monitor).

I hope that I cleared this up, sorry for my bad english.

The "Run game in the background" option has been added to the General tab in the Options menu. If checked, the game continues running even when it's not focused. That takes care of on part :).

I have a second monitor and it works for me perfectly since the update. I start the game, wait for it to load, when I have the start menu, I can simply move the mouse out of the game and do anything on my secondary. Do not Alt-Tab, that switches the the game into some horrible windowed mode, simply just move the mouse out, whenever you need to do something on your second screen. Because I have different monitors in size (one 27 inch and a 19 inch) the chrome browser always gets misaligned when I start the game, but it is really easy to get it back full screen again.

I might be biased a bit, because I soooooo love this game, but I have never seen more handy and logical setup for two monitors before. The devs know what they are doing now.

How about an option that doesn't allow the cursor to fly off to a second monitor? I just hate it when the cursor wonders off to my second monitor in a middle of a hectic fight and makes the game inactive.

Since the last update (0.7012) I do not have the misalignment problem, on my secondary 19 inch monitor the chrome browser stays put. Did we get a fix on this? Well done!!

If you ever get stuck in that windowed mode, Alt+Enter should get you back to borderless

Hmm, that's strange, I have the game running on 24" monitor and other screen (laptop) with my mail. When I AltTab the game enters windowed mode, I sort my mails then Alt+Enter and I'm back in the full screen game. Never had a crash while doing that.

Then again, people had X Rebirth crashing on AltTab and I also never had any issues with it. Must be individual Windows thing.
