<![CDATA[Only borderless fullscreen availble?]]>

I have a fps counter in my Acer 27 inch 240 Hz monitor. The counter stays on 240hz the ingame counter says its 40-60. That means the game runs in borderless fullscreen. I can also go to my second screen easy with my mouse. its not locked in the main screen. Alt entering makes the screen go to small and big. Anyone knows how i can get this game on full fullscreen?

These are the settings you want to "unlock" fps without screen tearing

nvidia control panel:

  • gsync on windowed and fullscreen
  • global settings vertical sync on

In game

  • vsync off

Reasoning here:

i have those settings.. this is not about tearing but about to get this game running in fullscreen mode. not in windowed fullscreen. tnx though.

My 1440p 165hz screen reaches 165hz and fps on my 1080ti in borderless fullscreen, are you sure its an issue with the game and not your drivers or monitor setup?

Afaik DX12 games dont support full screen mode anymore.

Does it stay on 165 hz all the time? Or does the build in fpsmeter from your monitor has the exact fps as the ingame fpsmeter?

@dyfrin This interesting. I will have to try this. I've been getting some screen tearing and didn't know why. Will do this when I get home. Thanks!

I don't think the UWP framework, which this game is built on, has true fullscreen.
