You might be wondering, "v1.0.0? Aren't we on v10?" Well, yes and no. Borderless Gaming has been completely rewritten from the ground up, so it felt right to reset the version number.
Why the rewrite?
I created Borderless Gaming almost a decade ago for a simple reason - to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance while chatting with friends. Since then, Windows has changed a lot, and the old codebase was struggling to keep up. Adding new features became a hassle, and maintaining backwards compatibility (even for XP!) was slowing me down.
What's new?
- Profiles replace Favorites: I've introduced a new profile system that's more flexible and powerful.
- DPI-aware window handling: Set custom sizes and get consistent results across different displays.
Beta status and future plans
Most features from the previous version are here, but this is a beta. I'm counting on you all to report any bugs you find. Some things, like UI localization, aren't ready yet. Don't worry - I've hired professionals to translate the app into 20+ languages for the full release.
How to join the beta:
1. Join our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/8UvpR5UgX3
2. Check the dev updates channel under Borderless Gaming
3. Enter the password you find there into Steam:
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the Discord. Let's make this beta great together!
PS: An important note for retro gamers out there. The versions that support XP-Windows 7 and version 10 of Borderless Gaming will still be available as branches once this new version is released.
