Borderless fullscreen issues {SOLVED}

[Tidgem]

Borderless and windowed are both slightly wrong, borderless is correct except in the wrong part of the screen so it looks disgusting, and windowed does EXACTLY the same as borderless which is 900000% wrong. Both basically open a window version of NMS that I can move around, but not resize or click the fill screen button in the top right.

Fullscreen is the only mode that works but I hate it because this game has like a 6 second tab in and out speed which is painful for people like me who watch youtube on the other monitor.
Other issue is you gotta load a save to change the settings which A. is dumb as hell and backwards, and B. Slows down the getting the right settings process drastically.

Thanks for reading I hope someone can help.

PS Methods ive tried so far to fix it:

Closing everything in the background
Having 1 thing open on fullscreen somewhere else
Trying each setting repeatedly
Restarting
Verifying integrity

It's just about the mouse guys, stop posting misleading stuff. The key is to keep the mouse INSIDE your main screen, BEFORE the game finishes launching. I have 4 screens, tried every fix suggested, and found out they are all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, except for the mouse thingy.

This just isn't true, but nice try. That was one of the first things I thought, so I just stopped moving my mouse at all after starting the game and it still happens. Please don't assume you know everything.

You still don't get it. I said "keep the mouse INSIDE your main screen", which means, you can move your mouse as much as you want, it's not about stop moving the mosue, but NOT to move it OUTSIDE your main screen. Your main screen is the screen that you have your game window on.

You still ignore the fact that this does not make a single difference to a lot of people.

I don't understand why you don't understand that what I am saying is you are wrong. Its not that I'm not getting what you are saying. It just is not correct. This does not fix the problem for me or other people.

Okay my bad, I get that it does not work for some people, but I'm still pretty sure the mouse thingy does have a reason that it works for me and some people. So I think it may not be able to solve all the cases, but definitely is one of the things you need to do in order to get it running. Today I found one more thing, even if I keep my mouse inside my main screen, but RIGHT CLICK the desktop, the game can't go into borderless mode. I think that means which ever action we do that loses the focus of the game window, it screws up the borderless.

He's on the right track though. It has something to do with what window you're focusing, or something like that. It's crazy broken and i have no idea how to resolve it myself, cuz nothing really works perfectly.

No border for me in borderless. Just launch game and sit. Don't click anything, don't tab over, don't do a single thing. After NMS is on pages where you can select game save then you can alt tab out.

If you do click tab etc then you will have border appear, click X at top right and close NMS and relaunch and this time sit still, its just that simple.

Um no you don't. No one has a constant 60 FPS in NMS even with vsync off. It hitches when streaming in data on every system ever made. It is their streaming algorithm that is the issue not PC performance. Sometimes you just can't get all the data to where it needs to be when it needs to be there.

Just to necro this thread, sorry, you can actually disable this streaming feature for the most part.
It caused me huge FPS issues, and editing the settings file shows a texture streaming option set to "Auto". Set that to "Off" and you get a huge performance increase.

 "Using Steam or whatever you like, go to the install directory "no man's sky/binaries/settings", then change the "TextureStreamingEx" value to "Off" within the "TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML" file" 

Thanks Gibus King - this tip and changing Numhighthreads Numlowthreads to 0 and 0 has really helped with performance.

By the way recently I've found that full screen is working better than borderless windowed anyway. YMMV

Wow why do you guys buy expensive video cards only to cripple them in borderless mode? Makes no sense.

Its always been FULL SCREEN for me too. Always assumed Borderless was some primitive throwback to the days of DOS and Windows being sandwiched together. Never saw any advantages to it. But with an overclocked 1080ti, I never noticed any performance hit from it either. ;o)

It just seems like a redundant mode when you have FullScreen as an option for a video game.

Borderless fullscreen allows you to do things on other monitors without minimizing game windows. Its much better than normal full screen if you have a multimonitor setup.

Borderless is very useful for multi-monitor setups and to alleviate some issues with switching apps. I can move my mouse to a chat app or a browser on one monitor and it won't mess up the game in the other monitor. A few games don't seem to like being switched out of full screen either.

Also I don't see what's so crippling about borderless, seems to work fine.

I use (on a Windows 10 desktop PC) {Ctrl + Esc } to show the desketop when I really need to. I try to avoid {Alt + Tab}. I try not to let other things distract from the game; I exit the game if it's not a fast and urgent need to switch to another app.

"cripple them in borderless" you do know that isn't true, right?

I'll try to be nicer this time cuz last time I answered this dude got all mad.

My honest and true suggestion is to stop alt-tabbing.

My rig can handle it just fine but I'm old school and we just didn't let our computers do anything but play the game because we had to. I'm still locked into that habit. I won't even open Chrome or a Chat app. I'll just run a laptop or tablet for that...

Even if your rig can handle it, doing all that multi-tasking can still cause issues in your game. It's better to just avoid it when there's very simple alternative solutions for everything you're trying to do.

You won't convince me that multi-tasking on any computer while playing an intensive game is a good idea. It's just not. Ever.

Hold up - so you're saying that I should stop doing something simply because you don't do it? Come now. What is this. Seriously.

Non-sequiturs aside, if a game sucks at alt-tabbing then it's because the developers chose to spend their time elsewhere. It's not difficult to make dx and gl based applications go borderless, and the only time I've ever had alt-tabbing issues with any games was when I had embarrassingly low amounts of RAM in my machine, or when the application was just generally buggy with everything. All stable games I've played have never given me any issues with this whatsoever, and I alt-tab games *a lot*. This isn't MS-DOS. We're in 2018 now.
