I'm playing on windows 10 with steam and changing my game to fullscreen mode no longer works. There is currently no difference between fullscreen and borderless windowed. I see in known issues, there is a reference to the mouse not being locked to the window when using fullscreen mode but that is not the problem, the problem is that fullscreen mode is not actually working as fullscreen mode. The following problems are caused by the issue. Framerate and performance is no longer as smooth, aiming down sights at any target is now choppy, the game is no longer as responsive to my DPI, lighting looks different and more is now much more washed out, and antialiasing isn't as consistent as it was before.
What is the timeline on this fix? I'd rather not play the game at all until this issue is fixed.

I found this thread after pulling my hair out for a couple hours wondering why I'm suddenly getting very chopping framerates. Anyone looking at a frame graph can clearly see that something is wrong. I was also wondering why the game was no longer automatically switching into HDR, but now I know why. Bungie, PLEASE bring back true fullscreen.

Hi there, We'll pass this post along to the developers for further investigation.

Thank you for bringing more attention to this

It's kind of mad that this has passed QA. There was obviously a good reason for this change to happen I'm the first place, and the rendering of the screen and performance therein is key to the game playing well. Someone either said, "yeah this is the same as before and the feature change can go to production". Or "Someone tested this and saw that it was broken and ignored it" either way, this sucks guys.

I've been having similar issues. 1080p resolution looks muddy now almost like it's 720p and lines on textures are more noticeable/distracting.

I confirm! This is no good! turn back the full screen or bring this mode to mind.Not that responsiveness at all

Edited by Cuen264: 7/18/2025 8:53:33 PMThank you so much for putting this out there! I searched all social media channels for a post expressing my feelings on this! This is awful and not acceptable. Exactly as you said, the game feels choppy, not responsive, and somehow looks weird with different lighting (not only in Kepler but in older zones as well). That's why at first I thought they made some graphical improvements that outperformed my hardware, but the system requirements are the same as in the Final Shape, and there is no mention of a major graphical update! Nothing explains the -30 fps difference in Cosmodrome patrol overnight after the patch. Something is clearly wrong with this new fullscreen implementation, and I don't know how this passed testing. Let us be clear, out of everything, Destiny is Destiny because of the snappy gameplay feeling. If it is not there anymore, I won't be either.
