Bordered Windowed Mode?
The game has a windowed mode, which is good. However, making it windowed makes a borderless, unmoveable window, which isn't useful at all. I have two monitors, so it'd be nice to be able to move the window. Is there a way to make a bordered window or will I simply have to wait until it's implimented or use something like dxwnd to be able to move the screen about?

Bordered windowed mode is not supported due to a bug in the engine. Until it's fixed by the engine's developers, it will most likely not be implemented or will end up postponed.

Using some methods to move borderless windows in general should work.

thank you for your reply. That's a pretty terrible bug.

Also, it would be nice if you could list these methods, because I'd rather not have an unplayable game sitting in my game list, especially one that seems promising.

Tbh I wouldn't go as far as calling the game "unplayable".

As for the solutions, try searching for a way to move borderless windows in general and choose the method which works the best for your individual system.

For me, turning the resolution to my native screen resolution and turning off the fullscreen option simulates borderless for me.

Here are my video options: https://i.imgur.com/zb1o2lH.png


Alternatively, consider getting a program such as Borderless Gaming
https://store.steampowered.com/app/388080/Borderless_Gaming/
(Can be found for free on Github)

Or you could also use another program like "Windowed Borderless Gaming"
These programs work for most games that allow you to play a game in windowed mode.
This program, just like the last program, is also free.

I hope it will be resizeable as well. Kinda like hearthstone. I play most of my steam games while I am working each day. So it helps to be able to have a flexible window to work with when I am opperating . I really wanna play this game, but I can't as it is right now :(

If I cannot play the game, then the game is unplayable for me. It might be playable for others, but it's not for me, thus it is unplayable in its current state.

I'm less focused on a flexible sized window, but it would help if any of the traditional methods to move a borderless window worked. Keyboard shortcuts like windows+shift+arrow keys don't work. Using programs like Dxwnd don't work either. I'm not sure why it has a windowed mode at all if all a windowed mode does is stick it in the middle of the screen, unable to be moved.

The game looks fun, but at present, if I can't so much as move a window without having to use outside programs, if this isn't a thing that the developers think is important to fix immediately, then i'm going to have to refund it, and that's disappointing to me.
