THIS IS A MAJOR GAME BREAKING ISSUE

I do not know if this is a game-wide issue or if it is contained to certain systems, but I am 95% certain that the game is launching and running in borderless windowed without the option of using exclusive fullscreen. Here's my evidence:

  • FPS

With VSync enabled, the game was running at half my refresh rate. This is common with borderless windowed.

  • Input Delay

I've seen a lot of people complaining about input delay. I have input delay in my own game. Input delay is a common side effect of running borderless.

  • Tabbing out

Tabbing in and out seems extremely fast. Closing fullscreen applications usually has a bit of a buffer when tabbing in and out.

  • Alt+enter

The game will launch in "fullscreen" but if you hit alt+enter (the hotkey to switch applications in and out of fullscreen) the game will go into windowed and never back into fullscreen. This leads me to believe it was running as borderless in the first place.

  • NVidia Overlay is not hooking the game.

Since the game is not running as a proper fullscreen application, my NVidia overlay doesn't work properly.

  • GSync doesn't appear to be working (this one seems inconsistent between system)

Gsync works best with games that run in exclusive fullscreen. I'm getting reports that GSync doesn't work outright.

I know it's not exactly scientific, but I suspect people with higher end GPUs aren't noticing these things as much. I know that on my lower end GPU it's extremely noticable.

My specs are: Ryzen 1700 (OC 3.7), 16gb 3000mhz RAM, GTX 960, and it's installed on an SSD.

Is anyone else noticing this?
