Borderless Fullscreen

Overview

In this guide, you will learn how to use AutoHotKey to make your game flawlessly run in a borderless window.

Why play in Borderless Fullscreen?

You can switch to background tasks fast and without risking freezes and crashes. You don’t have to wonder who is calling you on your Skype or what was the deal with the notification beep you just heard come from your Facebook in the background.

Your game will run smoothly with a greater performance. You won’t experience any screen tearing so you don’t need to enable Vsync which often costs some performance.

You can record/stream much more efficiently and easily.

If you have multiple monitors, running games in borderless fullscreen is crucial unless you don’t want to take advantage of those screens. (Changing the song playing without Alt+Tab’bing, switching TeamSpeak rooms, making a quick Skype Call, checking emails etc.)

AutoHotKey

First of all, download and install the most recent version of AutoHotKey from its official website:

AutoHotkey is a free, open-source macro-creation and automation software utility that allows users to automate repetitive tasks in Microsoft Windows.

Creating the AHK Script

A. I only have a single screen or my primary gaming screen is the one at the left.

Paste the highlighted script below to Notepad then save it as an *.AHK file. (File > Save As… > MGS.ahk)

F11::
WinMove,A,,-3,-26
return

B. I have triple monitors and I use the one at the center.

Paste the highlighted script below to Notepad then save it as an *.AHK file. (File > Save As… > MGS.ahk)

F11::
WinMove,A,,1917,-26
return

Note: If the width of your screen resolution is not 1920, edit the script to compensate for the 3px window border and the width of your left screen resolution.

Running the AHK Script & Switching to Borderless Fullscreen Mode

Run the script by just double clicking on the file you just saved and you will see an H icon on your tray indicating that your script is working.

Now launch the game and switch to the native resolution of your screen in Graphic Options and don’t forget to change the Window Mode to Window.

After you save your settings, hit F11 and voila! You’re now running Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in a borderless fullscreen window! Enjoy Alt+Tab’bing in and out, using your monitors freely if you have more than one!
