Fullscreen Mode

Forcing fullscreen mode in game's INI file^{[Note 2]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `user_settings.variables` with a text editor. Find `requested_fullscreen_mode` variable and change its value to: `-1`: (default) Braid will choose the mode it thinks works best on your system. `0`: Native fullscreen `1`: Borderless windowed `2`: Flip sequential. (Windows) On some versions of windows this will force vsync on in fullscreen.
