DS3 bordless fullscreen notes

Hey,

I've discussed it with the IRC channel and the consensus is that the note here is redundant and unnecessary. The glossary page is already linked on the left of the table. Those wanting to know if the game supports borderless fullscreen do not need to know that a random mod happens to be one of the dozens of methods.

I was going to just leave it as you had it, but I recently discovered the game has severe performance issues (on my hardware) in borderless windowed mode. I'll be using the note field to relay that information.

Hello!

Sadly I do not own the game myself, so I can't deny or confirm any of the information. That's why it would be better to leave this stuff into the games own talk page where others can contribute to discussion who also own the game.

As for table, if it has some method mentioned as hackable, note field MUST have something supplied to it to tell how it's hackable. With borderless fullscreen methods, 99% of the cases the third party tools simply just work, so I personally always just left the field false at that point. Because if I go with third party tools, only handful of games would have that field false, making it less useful and like you said those are already linked on the table by clicking the field. And because those solutions are universal, it's usually really really good idea to at least mention that mod made specifically to that game to address specifically that issue, especially when that mod seems to address other issues as well and are being updated to address even more issues in the future and doesn't need third party software running in the background (the guy who made that mod is actually really fucking good and I know he will do miracles). So in some way like "Use method X or this game specific mod Y." which also leaves choise to user.

There are still some debate over these always working forcing methods still: http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/topic/1858-aa-af-vsync-and-forcing-through-gpu/

But in any way, at least have "Tested with program X.[ref by user Y]" in note field if nothing else.

As for borderless fullscreen mode, how big impact are we talking? Because borderless windowed mode will always have some performance impact, however it highly depents on game, games settings and your hardware how big it actually is. If someone is running the game 300 FPS, they most likely do not notice any drops, while if you have 63 FPS and game already using your whole VRAM, then borderless will have more major impact on performance and I wouldn't doubt this on that new game. At that point it becomes generic information again and pointless to majority of game article viewers.
