[Tutorial] Borderless Window Mode for Freelancer

[Major.]

Hello,

are you tired of having multiple monitors but not being able to run Freelancer in full Borderless Window Mode?

Well, here's the solution: Borderless Gaming (Free Version) - https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Ga.../tag/9.5.6 (There is a steam version that gets more updates in case you want to use that, but you have to pay for it - https://store.steampowered.com/app/38808...ss_Gaming/ )

So, how does it work, it puts your game into Borderless Window Mode, so you don't have to Alt-Tab out to do stuff on your second monitor, and you don't have that ugly .exe Minimize, Maximize, Close.

1. Download it - https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Ga.../tag/9.5.6 - (BorderlessGaming9.5.6_admin_setup.exe)
2. Install it
3. In the Discovery Launcher, switch Windowed Mode to on
4. Start Freelancer through the Discovery Launcher
5. Start Borderless Gaming
6. Move Freelancer from Applications to Favorites
7. Enjoy

Special tip: You can let Borderless Gaming start on your Windows Startup (Options - Run on Startup), or you connect it like I do whenever I start the launcher:

1. Open up the Editor
2. Write the following:

2.1 First line starts the Launcher
2.2 Second Line starts RivaTuner for capped FPS, if you don't have that installed, remove that line
2.3 Starts BorderlessGaming for Borderless Window Mode

Code:

start "DS Launcher" "C:\Freelancer Discovery\Discovery Freelancer 4.91.0\DSLauncher.exe"
start "RTSS" "C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\Test\RivaTuner Statistics Server\RTSS.exe"
start "BorderlessGaming" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Borderless Gaming\BorderlessGaming.exe"

3. Edit the paths inside the " "
4. Click on File - Save under - Desktop for example - Name: Up to you.bat - File type: All | The .bat at the end of the file name is super important.
5. Once saved, go to that location, right-click on the file - Properties - Icon - Go to your Discovery Installation and use the DSLauncher.exe - It will now use the icon from that EXE
6. Enjoy

Known issues:
1. If you are in Borderless Window Mode - Your mouse will obviously leave the first monitor and go into your second if you go far right, makes it hard to do super sharp turns at the edge. (If you are going to PvP, I suggest you press Alt + Enter once for full screen)
2. The same issue in point 1. will happen if you go super far left, there is a small point where it will throw your mouse on the second monitor
