Fullscreen windowed?

Is there a way to get Mass Effect 1 to run in fullscreen windowed?

I can run it in windowed, but I got the ugly window title bar visible at the top + a small margin at the left side which the windowed window isn't covering.

    • Go to your  ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect\Binaries" folder.
    • Open the "MassEffectConfig.exe" > Select the "Video" Tab.
    • Look if the "Windowed" check box is selected.

    @holger1405The windowed box is checked, or else I wouldn't have written "I can run it in windowed".

    The issue is that it's not windowed fullscreen, but just windowed = I still see the window title bar + the left edge of the window.

    Is there no way to get actual borderless windowed fullscreen?

    Without windowed I get severe screen tearing, which I don't get at all using windowed.

    I assume you don't get screen tearing in Windowed mode because the Windows DWM is in control of the graphic output and forces triple buffering.

    Did you enabled VSync in the game settings?
