Borderless Window Mode?

[Raijek]

Is Borderless Window Mode available? I only see Fullscreen and Windowed. Super sad face if it doesnt have it but Ill live if not.

Fullscreen is acting as true Fullscreen mode on my system.

Only way I have borderless windowed mode working on my system is by setting Windowed mode and using Borderless Gaming app. Another issue I'm noticing with windowed mode on my system is that Windows 10 is resizing the window. If I set 2560x1440 the window gets resized to 2558x1406. My workaround for this is to set desktop to 3840x2160, start the game and then set desktop to 2560x1440.

It would be nice to have a borderless windowed option than going through this hassle.

Normally borderless mode is expected to stretch/upscale the chosen render resolution to the desktop resolution but CS3 only has a working fullscreen mode that changes the display resolution to match the render resolution. This is a bit of a problem.

could it be, that setting the game to a different resolution than your windows settings makes it turn on true fullscreen? because for me fullscreen acts as borderless windowed but I play only on 1080p, the same resolution i've set in windows.

Edit: Or could it be because I've got 2 Monitors connected to the PC?

I have dual monitors as well and it doesnt act as borderless windowed. IDK. Would be nice in a future update perhaps but not a big issue. I mainly like being able to move to my other screen with my mouse to scroll down on a guide or do something in discord but Ill live lol. Thanks guys.

Yeah the fullscreen option MINIMIZES the game, borderless windows should NOT minimizes the game when multi-tasking. It's really is a bit of a headache when people don't know what is true borderless window, and not clouded it up with "exclusive" fullscreen or "fullscreen windowed". ugh... It's like they spitting on the face of borderless windows for some odd reason.

On my system the game doesn't minimize when I Alt-Tab and work in other Programms. The game stays open just as I would expect from a Borderless Window setting. That is with the Fullscreen option activated. I didn't expect this to be different for other people.

What about Special K? That would be preferred, since it can enable borderless flip mode and get rid of all penalties associated with borderless mode. Borderless Gaming cannot do that :-\

Hey Kaldaien, your Special K would do the trick. It slipped my mind because I use Reshade a lot and sometimes have issues getting Special K to work with it. I assume cfxxl is using Special K because he's part of the group.

I'm not using Special K (or any other tool) for this game, but I absolutely would if I had to. :)

I believe you now that I have tried Special K. There seems to be an issue with lighting when using Special K. However, it does allow for fixing windowed mode resolution and setting borderless windowed mode.

Maybe turning off HBAO+ fixes those graphical glitches. At least it seemed to have worked for the user in this post: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SpecialK_Mods/discussions/0/2155476288799176930/#c2155476410444883715

Fullscreen for me acts as borderless windowed by default. No extra monitors or any fancy software used.

[Playcool92]

Borderless gaming from steam didnt work for this game, you have it on windowed and the software will obstruct the later part of the screen, so you cant see what goes on top.
If you have it on fulscreen, it is not so bad, you can just press Window key and the game will pause, but you can go back to it, and doesnt freeze so all good.
Almost no games have a real good borderless option either way, only TW3 that has, that I recall.

I'll further go on to say, no shipping game in known existence implements borderless the correct way :-\ You need flip model, it's such an easy thing for developers to do, but they cannot be bothered to read the documentation for the platform they're shipping their software on. It sucks.
