Windowed and Boderless fullscreen windowed modes
- The launcher's Windowed mode only works if the selected resolution doesn't have the same vertical resolution as the desktop, otherwise it leads to a crash on boot.
- When using the Windowed mode under the same aforementioned conditions after applying the Frame pacing issues fix, the game won't crash but it will be erroneously rendered.
