I rely on Windows Fullscreen Optimizations to be able to use applications that draw overlays over games without borderless fullscreen support, but whenever I use dxvk on these games this feature seems to be disabled. The games enter exclusive fullscreen mode and drawing overlays as well as toast notifications are hindered from being displayed.

I've searched for a complete day on this but nothing useful came up, what I'd like to do is to keep Windows Fullscreen Optimizations turned on, or rather force enabling it, and turning it off at will from the compatibility tab whenever it's not needed while at the same time use dxvk.

I could be wrong in this assumption, as in Windows Fullscreen Optimizations may be still turned on, but something else is causing this same behavior, the problem is I have no idea where to track this down to its root.

Software information

The games that I tried are Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition and Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter, the first uses DirectX 9 and the later uses DirectX 11.

System information

GPU: GTX 1070
Driver: 466.27 Game Ready
OS: Windows 10 v1903
DXVK version: 1.9 and master 11bbc07e (from workflow build)

Apitrace file(s)

The trace file would be useless in this case because it involves replacing d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll, hence the issue is not triggered. If it's absolutely necessary I can post it.

I think the Nvidia driver (deliberately?) avoids FSO with Vulkan fullscreen, even when selecting borderless in native Vulkan applications. AMD does the same (in a bugged way, of course), so this very likely not within DXVK's scope.

KK0bin maintainer 2021-07-21 github

DXVK deliberately enables exclusive fullscreen on Windows as far as I know.

Ddoitsujin maintainer 2021-07-21 github

FSO does not support Vulkan applications. We already enable the exclusive fullscreen hint to ask the driver to make presentation fast if possible, but we don't have control over Windows features like this that are limited to DirectX.

Pprolium 2021-07-21 github

Oh I didn't know that, this definitely explains the issue. Thanks everyone.
Is there an option/setting to allow borderless fullscreen ? I know it won't solve the issue I'm facing, just a question out of curiosity.

Aaufkrawall 2021-07-21 github

When I set RDR2 or Strange Brigade Vulkan to borderless on Windows 10 21H1 + Nvidia, there is still tearing and Windows audio volume OSD isn't visible when pressing the corresponding keyboard buttons. So I think there is no "borderless" available at all with Vulkan on Windows.

Pprolium 2021-07-21 github

You're right, just tried it and yeah the borderless fullscreen on this game seems "broken" when using Vulkan.
I was using DirectX 12 and totally forgot that it has native Vulkan integration.
Thanks again for your time.
