Windowed Full Screen Mode?

[Zhong Ping (钟平)]

Will we get a windowed full screen mode? This is kinda essential for multimonitor PC's

Set your launch options to -popupwindow and then untick Fullscreen in game. You'll have borderless window.

Minimizes the game for me if I leave the game window, much like it does if you alt tab. Not much more useful to be honest. Ideally I'd like it to stay open if I move to a different window, majority of games have no problem with that. Is there a setting on my end I can change. I did the launch option above and unticked full screen.

If you did the above correctly, it works exactly like you're awnting it to. I use it and I can do stuff on my second and third monitors with TPH staying maximized on the first screen.

I just dont understand why this isn't simply a menue option in game

So that every time I use my 2nd monitor, say to search the web or switch music or a video, it doesn't minimize the game and cause 3 secconds of screen flashing while the graphics card minimizes the full screen mode.

This is why full screen windowed mode is basically standard on most games these days. Anyone who has more than one monitor on their PC is going to need it to make use of the seccond monitor.

I mean, right now I'm playing in windowed mode at a smaller resulution than my monitor so that it's not clipping under the tast bar. It's sad. It's 2018. We should be able to have full screen windowed mode from day one in all games these days.

Couldn't agree more.

Couldn't agree more on this, in this day and age I expect this kind of functionality.

For me it works to untick fullscreen and then Alt + Enter to get it to a fake borderless...but it doesn't work for most people, not sure what setting I and some others have that makes it work =p

Nope, if I do that it gets rid of the border but it still minimises the game when I click on my 2nd screen

I guess on the bright side it doesn't do the described delayed flickering caused by alt-tabbing. I would still prefer the game stay up, though. Especially if I'm reading something on it while doing a search.

But yeah, fullscreen borderless is standard in games nowadays (as it should be). I only see it forgotten in indie titles now and again, such as this. Hopefully they add it, but who knows if they'll notice threads like this one?

Use Windows Borderless Gaming to resize the window to full screen.

+1 for OP. How the hell does a strategy game miss this function in 2018?
