That's what borderless/windowed is for

you can always go full screen again once queue pops

or if your PC is good enough just leave it in borderless all the time

SLI and Gsync.

Some of you people have ZERO clue what you are talking about, it is quite clear. Go do some research before spouting out about windowed mode = full screen.
Many MANY factors are involved when determining which mode is right for you and your setup.

With that said, the DX11 alt tab bug IS very annoying and I too hope they fix it sooner than later.

Still hoping for a fix too.

Annoying as hell.

Also, for those who use other monitors for other stuff while they game... This being fixed would not affect that.

Visually maybe everything is the same for some people but technically is not the same at all. There is a reason full screen mode exists and you can Google it if you don't know the differences I will not write wall of texts here to explain why they differ. Any windowed mode does not fully replace the full screen mode. Full screen mode must be fixed for this game.

Just play on PS3/4 then you don't need to worry about the windows at all!

Window mode is only a temporal solution.

Yes, but I'd rather be able to tab out during stupid long DPS queues.

My second monitor is good and dandy for watching videos but my vision is awful and I can't read forums or check facebook or anything that requires reading on it.

Don't knock it. It was about as helpful as the "just use a borderless window, fix unnecessary" style comments.

Seems a lot of people here don't seem to have a clue why there are even options to use different screen modes. Do some research as above suggested. There are hardware configurations that borderless windowed mode has issues with. SLI/Xfire and Gsync among them which I use. There is absolutely no reason why the game should not minimize to the task bar when I tab out when using full screen mode, and stay minimized until i select it again. Right now the game pops up whenever I close any other window that might be open even when I don't select the game. The switching to a window bug with full screen that is currently happening also causes the monitor to go nuts trying to switch gsync modes and sometimes crashes. I would use borderless/windowed fullscreen if it benefited me but it does not. This was never an issue for full screen mode in dx9, and it needs to be fixed.
