So, pretty simple. I play in windowed mode 1280x720 medium graphics, and i really lag on some levels. If i played in fullscreen, will i lag less? Will i get more fps? Will i get less input lag? (I play with vsync off, i dont care about screen tearing). I am asking you this cause i am tired of not being able to record some levels, and not being able to even play some of them. Thank you.

Fullscreen usually causes more lag (not sure about the effects of input lag).
Just saying though, if you have to play on 1280x720 and medium graphics you probably need an upgrade.

I play on fullscreen because I have VSync off and the lack of VSync causes a lot of lag spikes on windowed mode. I prefer a little bit of screen tearing than constant lag spikes.

in the end, i just stick to recording windowed at all times. the game is so inconsistent that there really isnt a way to bypass its random frame drops and sometimes even random input delay so just stick to something youre used to and hope for the best. something that tend to keep it relatively consistent for me is disconnecting from internet all together, closing any program that doesnt need to be up at the same time and it stays relatively smooth. its god damn insane you have to do something like this though...

IDK why but for me I can't play GD in windowed mode because I get like 30 fps and the game bugs out with moving platforms and slopes, so I have to go fullscreen if I actually want to play something. That's probably the reason why I don't really ever play this game and instead stick to the editor

I remember myself dying to moving objects glitching out and throwing me into the abyss for some reason.

That's probably the reason why I don't really ever play this game and instead stick to the editor I honestly never had these problems in windowed mode, even tho the game lags nonetheless, if i try playing in fullscreen i feel like i lag a bit less but the input lag is much more present, so i am sticking with windowed mode for now, but i wanted to know other people's experiences

i play fullscreen because less lag + less input lag. v-sync is off too because i dont care about screen tearing. i recommend fullscreen in this case.

Windowed. I find the game way harder in fullscreen because I can't actually see everything at once.

I play fullscreen at all times but if you have a laggy pc then windowed it probably the way to go.

I agree with BlazeD77, currently the best option for you is to stick to the windowed mode until you get a chance to top up your rig.

I can't play fullscreen without really bad screen tearing, so I stick to windowed.

My PC sucks in general. If my game starts lagging, I’m done. Can’t help it. It will just get worse no matter what I do. I want to get a new one but my mom says no :/ Anyways, I just beg that I get no lag so that I don’t half to end to stream prematurely.
