    Borderless Windowed Mode

    Is this in the game? It lets me alt tab seamlessly, stream online, and also lets me fire up defiance on my ipad. If it is already in the game can someone let me know where to find it? There seem to currently be the "windowed mode option" which creates an ugly border that takes up screen space. Thanks.

    I'm for this.

    The border wrecks immersion and is just ugly, compared to the nice graphics of Defiance.

    Here you go

    https://gc-modding.googlecode.com/fi...ng_1.1.1.2.zip
    1. Download that program via link I provided.
    2. Open that file and run program.
    3. Run game (Make sure you are completely out of the patcher and game and go from there, sometimes you get connection problems depending)
    4. Hit Alt+Enter
    5. Maximize the window. You can easily do this by clicking the taskbar so you can free your mouse and then maximize it.
    6. Click icon on the new program and click add window. It might lag a bit.
    7. Click into the game and hit F3.
    8. More lag, just wait it out.
    9. Click the icon from that program again and open settings. Make sure Defiance is selected. Set resolution. Hit Apply. More lag.
    10. Enter game, lots more lag.
    11. Finally, lag free borderless window

    I can confirm that the above program is virus free and actually works.

    Thanks, Djin.
    I'll continue to use this good 3rd party work-around until an in-game option is implemented.

    Hey you're welcome

    For those of you who are unaware of the program, it's called Window Borderless Gaming. http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=2675769

    I was just curious as to why you would want to play a game windowed instead of full screen? I Don't get it... of course I'm one of those weirdos who inverts the Y-axis.

    Couple of reasons. Dual monitor setup and ease of alt-tab access.

    windowed borderless is like full screen but alt tab friendly.

    This needs to be a default feature.
