Options for borderless window and multi monitor

[OchreBeard]

I have two monitors, and like to keep a browser on my second monitor. Would be great to see a borderless window mode so I can swap focus fast. For now I use "Borderless Gaming" to turn the windowed mode into borderless.

It would also be nice for the game to remember the position, or at least start on the primary screen. Currently the game opens (in window mode) halfway on both monitors.

Not as sexy as gameplay features, so I understand they wont get to the front of the line. But I at some point they would nice improvements.

Interesting. You aren't the only one who's asked for borderless window mode. I'll add that to our list of things to condier.

I'll add that one, as well, though like you said, a lower priority.

With a team this small, these types of features do tend to get pushed to the back burner's back burner. But that doesn't mean "never" just "not sure when" :D

Cool

As a follow up to this, it does appear that there's a back-door way of getting the game to support borderless windowed mode. Check out the updated Known issues thread for simple steps to use.

Let me know if this works for now for you. We still plan to add something like this to the game.

Just tried to quickly boot up the game with the command, and it seems to work perfectly. Thanks.

There's another command I'm unable to try because I only have 1 monitor, but might help you select the starting monitor. Assuming you run on Windows, try:

-adapter N

where N = number of adapter (presumably 0 or 1 for dual monitor setup)

Again - no idea if that will help specify a specific monitor for it to run on. Or maybe -popupwindow was enough...

popupwindow worked just fine, but I guess the other command would be handy if you don't play on the "main" monitor.

That makes sense. I'll leave that out there in case someone stumbles on it with a desperate need to start the game on their third screen so they can keep working...

Something to add to this discussion even though im late to the party, to run the game in borderless window mode for the resolution 1920x1080 you can simply use
"-popupwindow -screen-height 1080 -screen-width 1920" for the startup parameters.
As JP already pointed out, you still need to select windowed mode in the launch dialog. It will still ask you for a resolution, but the command line arguments will override that choice.
