4:3 Fullscreen Windowed

[raytheman]

I was wondering if that's possible to do cause when I change it to window 4:3, I get a small box and I see everything on my desktop.

I want it where it's full screen windowed and it's 4:3 1024X768

CSGO is the game.

I have an option that's fullscreen windowed but it's 1920X1020 or something like that

[rusha]

you must set your desktop to 1024x768 to have it fullscreen windowed... whats the point to play it fullscreen windowed?

[raytheman]

So I can switch in and out easily.

switch it on your monitor man. go to the connection setting thing and then under "wide mode" switch it to "full" rather than "aspect ratio".

I wanna it fullscreen windowed.. Where I don't have to alt+tab everytime when I wanna go to my desktop

Ohhhh my bad man, I honestly don't think thats possible unless you have something fancy you can do with your graphics drivers. :/

that's literally not possible unless your desktop resolution = resolution of window

to be fair settings like this should be available these days, i loved windowed full in sc2. very smooth for constant alt tabbing. :D

I have a feeling it's possible, but we just don't know about it.

Why should you even want to go on Desktop ... If you want to google or facebook just use the STEAM explorer ... (i hope you are not such a guy that dies in Competitive, goes to desktop and is then for 20seconds afk on next round)

If you have a Nvidia card, you can set it to stretch the resolution under "Nvidia Control Panel -> Adjust Desktop size and position" Choose GPU and set it to Full screen.

We'll see about that! :D:

It is indeed very much possible. Set your resolution in game, quit the game and do the following:

• Open your Steam Library
  
• Right click Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  
• Click Properties
  
• Click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS
  
• Enter '-windowed -noborder'
  (without the single quotes)

Please let me know if this solves your problem or not. By doing this, switching between your desktop and game is just as fast as application switching.

That makes my game windowed and borderless...

I want it full screen windowed to where I don't have to alt+tab to open up a new application .

Or if I click on my 2nd monitor, the game won't minimize on my 1st monitor.

either one would help.

Have you actually tried this? Because for me it fits your description perfectly.

[ShipfusAreLaifu]

What about getting a second monitor? I play games on one and use my other for anything else I might need it for.

I love the rash of players now insisting that they play on 1024x768 who aren't old competitive players. People see some of the streamers that run that resolution and now they think they have to run it to be competitive when every single one of those streamers say it's a preference thing and offers no advantage at all unless you have a low end PC.

That's what I thought, I tested before posting and the result is exactly what his description is...

Do you not understand what fullscreen windowed is? Apparently not.
