BGFX now works on Steam Deck. How it works Install Borderless Gaming from Steam, open the app, pick a game, choose your effects. Borderless Gaming installs a Vulkan layer that hooks into your games automatically — you launch games the way you always do, from Steam, and the effects are just there. No desktop mode, no scripts, no extra software. Your presets are saved per game. Set it once and fo…
BGProxy Fixes Background Behavior · All games now continue rendering and playing audio when alt-tabbed. · Keyboard and mouse input is blocked while the game is in the background, so you can type in other apps without affecting the game. Gamepad input still passes through. Tabbing back into a game no longer leaves keys in a pressed state. Stability · Fixed crashes on startup for Yakuza 0, Metro…
For years, Borderless Gaming has helped thousands of you wrangle stubborn games into borderless windowed mode. But there have always been two classes of games we've struggled with. The first: games with no windowed mode at all. Classic OpenGL games, older DirectX 8/9 titles, and even some modern DX11 games that change your desktop resolution and take over your entire screen. Without a window, B…

Hey friends, This update fixes some issues introduced in our last two releases. My attempt to fix older Unreal Engine games inadvertently broke newer ones. Rather than playing cat and mouse trying to make everything work automatically, I've added these parameters directly to the interface, giving you full control over which fixes and behaviors to apply. To apply any fixes to older Unreal games,…
This patch builds upon the last update by introducing several new features: - A new keyboard shortcut to toggle the taskbar, defaulting to Shift+Tab. - Fixes for window layout shifting caused by removing the taskbar in certain games. - A new advanced option called “nudge” that helps older Unreal games fill the available screen space after they are made borderless. This option is not compatible…
Key Fixes: · Resolves issues with older Unreal Engine games that historically haven't worked with Borderless Gaming (see details below) · Fixes profiles for certain Unity and Google Play on PC games · Corrects state synchronization issues in foreground tracking Unreal Engine Compatibility Many Unreal Engine 3 games from the 2010s were never designed with windowed mode in mind.

The area selector got completely rewritten. It actually works properly with multiple monitors now and doesn't look like something from 2003. You can now define custom window sizes and positions with ease. Demo What Changed Multi-Monitor Support That Actually Works - Area selector now properly detects which monitor you're selecting on - Shows physical pixel coordinates instead of the wrong scale…
Fixes: - Issues off by 1 on wide-screen displays - Issues with custom sizes on wide-screen displays - App Container upscaling causes borders to reappear on certain titles
Dark Mode is Now Free When I initially released the dark mode DLC it was done to fund the rewrite of Borderless Gaming and the creation of the upcoming upscale / frame generation features. With the rewrite done, I believe the dark mode DLC has served its purpose. Despite its good intentions, based on the constant wave of negative reviews around it, just isn't worth having it available anymore a…
"Mute in Background" has been changed to "Adjust Volume in Background" allowing you to either mute an application, or set its volume between 0 and 100 when it is no longer in focus.

Based on feedback from the community this update compacts the UI to reduce the amount of empty space and fits more of your apps and profiles on the screen.
Hey everyone, In my haste to release fixes, the last update (v1.0.7) was actually a duplicate of v1.0.6. Consequently, v1.0.8 includes all the fixes that were supposed to be in v1.0.7. Additionally, v1.0.8 includes: - Super Size : This feature from the legacy Borderless Gaming is back. You can enable “Super Size” in your profile, and it will make the game borderless across all your screens. - L…

Phew! What a sprint this has been. I want to express my gratitude to those who have been patient and understanding that software development is challenging. Providing support for thousands of games, spanning decades and possessing their own unique quirks, is an immense task. However, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve successfully conquered this task. This update resolves the last remaining bug…
