Possible Fullscreen Issues

Dear all,

In the recent days I've come across certain errors with setting the game to fullscreen mode. When you do that, the game may suddenly go unstable or renders incorrectly.

Here's a possible reason why it's happening:


Apparently, if the scaling mode is set at aspect ratio it may prevent you from setting even a screen resolution on other games.

The correct option should be:

No Scaling

Once that's set, you should have no issues setting to a full screen resolution. This should also apply to other games as well.

Conclusion


So what's the point here? Well, playing in full-screen windowed mode has a rough performance penalty of 15%. You may encounter stuttering as resources are shared between different applications.

By setting to fullscreen mode, you dictate that all resources is to go to the game; (no matter which game) and therefore will most likely perform at its best.

We hope this tip can help you in gaming across the board, not just for our games.

Thanks,
Jeremy
