Windowed Fullscreen Possibility?

Postby Nivagely » 15 Mar 2013, 15:45

Hey all, I've been Dual Screening for a bit over two months, I used to play FA using both Primary and Secondary Adapters on, However I'm not that good with the multitasking involved.

I noticed that FA doesn't allow for a Windowed Full-screen for the main display, I was wondering if there was any plan to introduce this to the Game? If not is there any possibility that it will ever be included?

It would be a nice add on for me as I always like to search some tactics, or look at different strategies while playing in those games where its very closely contended, and its a bother where where the Game will minimize when I go to use my secondary monitor to quickly look and I'm sure some other players would like to have this as an addition?


Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)

Hi there,

I now use windowed mode and just make it fullscreen (taskbar still visible but can minimise that if you like) then you can go to different programs without it minimising :)

(I hope I've understood this right and you just want to use one monitor now for the game.... I found I never looked at my second screen in FA so I don't use it anymore for games)

Ahh thats a good point there, how do you go about full screening the game in windowed mode without the chrome of it?

Yeah, I want to be able to browse and search for any kind of thing without the minimizing effect the second screen usually has. :P

Mine has the usual window border so I just fullscreen as usual (double click, drag to the top or press the button!) :)
