Fullscreen (Windowed) mode

Jan 01, 2019 KilsWitcH link
Is there a chance that the devs could build the Windows client with Full Screen (Windowed) mode into it?

At the moment there's only full screen or windowed. Most other games have a full screen windowed mode that the client will stay maximized on one monitor, even if you unfocus to other application on another monitor.

Here's what windowed mode looks like to me (2560x1080):

And the full screen mode as soon as I click on another monitor, it minimises.

I guess windowed mode is OK... but moving the HUD stuff for 2560x1080 would help.

Cheers

Nevermind... GiantChook helped me out. There is an option under OPTIONS > INTERFACE > HUD Settings called "Centre HUD to 4:3 region of screen".

This helped immensely.

Thanks Chook.

BUKKAH!!

Actually, this behaviour use to work under fullscreen mode all the time. I forget about when it happened, but i noted that using Simulated VR mode fixed it too. Back when I reported it, Incarnate said it was a low priority thing; annoying, but it wouldnt really break anything.

[Edit] it was when the first fall creator's update was introduced.

Agreed. I can play in windowed mode and my HUD looks better now... but fullscreen (windowed) mode would be much more preferable for enhancing the player experience... more immersive.

I'll keep this suggestion open and see what Incarnate has to say about it.
