DirectX11: Please add Fullscreen Mode.

[Jukens.1693]

In their blog post Anet said they have no plans to add Fullscreen mode for Dx11, so game will always be in Windowed Fullscreen, right now there is an option for Fullscreen but it doesn't actually work while Dx11 enabled, it uses Windowed Fullscreen mode.

As a laptop user, cooling is always an issue for me while gaming, Fullscreen mode helps with cooling while alt-tabbing and away from the keyboard which happens quite often while doing Meta Events. This looks backwards to me that Anet takes that option away from the game.

So, please reconsider adding Fullscreen option to Dx11! or let us keep Dx9 option, although i'd prefer to use Dx11 for performance increases.

I thought dx9 was still an option?

They can't. Although DX11 supports exclusive full screen, they're using BGFX for DX11, which doesn't support it.

You can minimize the game instead of just alt-tabbing.

Alt-tab - cpu 30%, gpu 60%

minimized - cpu 14%, gpu 25%

IIRC Anet said they'd completely move on to Dx11 at some time in future and in the recent patch Dx9 is renamed to "Deprecated"

This is some great tip, thanks! Something i haven't done years playing this game and it does help with cooling.
