Torchlight Infinite offers several ways to play in fullscreen mode, depending on your preference for immersion and performance. Here’s a breakdown of the options:
1. Fullscreen:
This is the traditional fullscreen mode, where the game takes over your entire screen and hides your desktop and taskbar.
Cons: Can be inconvenient for multitasking, alt-tabbing takes you completely out of the game.
2. Windowed Fullscreen:
This acts like fullscreen mode but keeps your taskbar and desktop accessible in a thin border around the game window.
Pros: Offers a balance between immersion and multitasking, allows quick access to other applications.
Cons: May have slightly lower performance than true fullscreen due to additional rendering overhead.
3. Windowed:
The game runs in a resizable window on your desktop, similar to any other application.
Pros: Most flexibility for multitasking, alt-tabbing is seamless.
Cons: Less immersive than fullscreen options, potential performance bottleneck depending on other running programs.
Switching Between Modes:
You can change the display mode in Torchlight Infinite through the in-game settings menu. Navigate to "Options" > "Display" and select the desired option under "Window Mode."
Additional Tips:
Fullscreen Optimization: Windows 10 and 11 offer an "Fullscreen Optimization" setting for individual applications. Enabling this for Torchlight Infinite can potentially improve performance in fullscreen mode.
Borderless Gaming: Third-party tools like "Borderless Gaming" can force windowed games to run in a borderless fullscreen mode, offering a similar experience to true fullscreen without its drawbacks.
Ultimately, the best display mode for you depends on your individual preferences and hardware setup. Experiment with the different options to find what works best for you!
