PC - Game won't stay in windowed mode

Support and Bug Reports
1

I prefer to run the game in the “Borderless Window” setting.

But, when I restart the game I have to reapply this setting. it always defaults to “Fullscreen” instead.

I use a Ryzen 3600 cpu, a 6700 gtx GPU, Windows 10 with all latest updates.

I guess it’s just me?

I am sure it is not just you, I have seen this being mentioned before. There are just not many people active on this forum.

See: [PC] Display Mode Option Not Saved Across Sessions

Edit: I checked on my PC, and indeed it reverted back to fullscreen. It didn’t before for me. But I seem to still be able to alt-tab to check something outside the game. Doesn’t that (alt-tabbing) work with you?

Alt tab does work, but i think because i run a multi-monitor setup too that sometimes when I go back into the game, I start getting weird graphical glitches and anomalies. As long as I can keep it in windowed, no issues.

So you have to set it each time you start playing, assuming it stays in windows-mode during a game session? I understand that can get bothersome.

About every other time time. So, I set it and apply. Play the game normal.

Stop and exit. Do something else for a while.

Play some more, just fine.

Stop and exit. Do something else for a while.

come back to the game again, it’s changed to Fullscreen again.

rinse repeat.

And it doesn’t matter if I play for an hour of an entire day. this is the normal pattern now.

I can’t say if I have seen a solution for this, so it’s up to the devs to see if they can fix it.
Until then, you have to live with the inconvenience of periodically re-setting the the display mode to windowed or borderless. :coffee:

Also having this problem. And changing From Fullscreen to Borderless in-game causes crashes to desktop. Can we PLEASE get a fix for this devs???

This happens to me too, but only sometimes, weirdly enough.

No experience from Radeon display cards. But nvidia has geforce experience and there is automatically optimize settings, and this can set game selected windowed / full screen mode. Any chance there same sort of option in Radeon display card drivers?
