  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: I started the game in fullscreen, changed to windowed to tab out for a second. When I switched back to game and set back to fullscreen, there is now a visual bug where it still shows a border around the game even if the game is set to fullscreen. I have closed game and restarted computer and still experiencing bug.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Frame obscures some game content and clips off in places
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Change type from Fullscreen to Windowed. Move windowed between different monitors, then try to change back to Fullscreen. It should expand and blow up like it should but applies a border around the game.

FOR CONTEXT: How Windowed normally looks:

You can fix it by choosing windowed mode and setting your resolution to a setting lower than you normalt play in, and click ok. Windows will then resize.

  • Now change to full screen and the border will disappear. Lastly change your resolution to normal again, and you’re good to go :blush:

Thank you for sharing but that is not a fix, it’s a workaround.

I know, but since the bug has been around - and reported - since closed beta, this is probably what you have to use as a workaround untill they fix it :slight_smile:
