| − | ====Multiple monitors script====
| |
| − | {{ii}} Someone needs to check whenever this explanation for the script is correct or if 0, 0, and A_ScreenWidth/Height mean that the script automatically detects the user's resolution.
| |
| − | {{ii}} This is a snippet from the [[#Fullscreen Toggle Script|Fullscreen toggle script]].
| |
| − | {{Fixbox|1=
| |
| − | {{Fixbox/fix|Fullscreen script}}
| |
| − | * The values '''0, 0,''' represent the coordinates of the upper left corner of the window.
| |
| − | <pre>WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight</pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | * For multiple resolutions the values have to be the sum of the monitors total width, for <code>3840x1080</code> them being.
| |
| − | <pre>WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 1920, 0, 1920, 1080</pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Notes'''
| |
| − | {{ii}} Use '''1920, 0, 1920, 1080''' (right) or '''0, 1920, 1920, 1080''' (left) in order to change which side of the screen is filled.

| − | ==Linux==
| |
| − | {{ii}} Most Linux window managers allow fullscreen applications to natively run under a borderless mode by default.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another tip that exclusively works on Linux is running your game in a separate X server instance. This allows you to switch between your game and your desktop using {{key|Ctrl|Alt|F7}} and {{key|Ctrl|Alt|F8}} (buttons may differ, may be {{key|F1}} through {{key|F12}}) and it increases performance and stability. To do this, edit the launch options for your game on Steam as follows:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{Fixbox|1=
| |
| − | {{Fixbox/fix|Run Game in New X Server}}
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | xinit %command% :1
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Notes'''
| |
| − | {{ii}} Manually launch a Non-Steam game by replacing %command% with the path to the game executable. Some games, including [[Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor]] may run into glitches using this method (as [https://support.feralinteractive.com/docs/en/shadowofmordor/latest/linux/faqs/#i_linux_virtual_terminal verified by Feral Interactive])

| |
| − | ===Game crashes on startup===
| |
| − | {{ii}} Certain borderless applications have to be started before the game itself and not while the game is running.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Window constantly resizes itself===
| |
| − | {{ii}} After applying the borderless mode simply restart the game itself, while keeping the borderless application open.
