-popupwindow Increases load time

[gamerscircle]

I know I haven't been very active in KSP lately.. but has something changed for using the unity switch  -popupwindow ??

I have an unmodded KSP install that will launch and be reading to click on Start Game in 1min [I used a stop watch]
I take the same short cut and add  -popupwindow to the end of "target" and it takes 1min and 45sec

Something had changed and I missed a post about this or .. there is a better way to get FullScreen Borderless?

I just have full screen selected in the Graphics settings accessible from the main menu.  Seems borderless to me.  Of course, I'm running RSS/RO/RP-1 and I'd be pretty happy to get a ten minute start time...

In the future just use the "report this post" function and ask a friendly neighborhood moderator to move it for you.

Hello @gamerscircle, I have removed your post in KSP discussion and merged @Zeiss Ikon's answer into this thread as this is more of a tech support question.

@5thHorseman - I didn't think about that thanks!  @James Kerman - thank you very much

@Zeiss Ikon - If I  run Full Screen, when I click off that display [2nd monitor] the game will minimize and that is something I am trying to avoid since I stream on twitch.  I will have to check my 1.7.3 and see if there is perhaps a setting that is new and on by default...

It's my experience that full screen and  a border less window of exactly the same size is handled very differently by both drivers and window managers.

So depending on both (mostly drivers I think) you can get very different performance.

No updates has taken place in drivers of OS
Kerbal updated from 1.7.3 to 1.8.1 and under 1.8.1 the load times are increased.  

KSP 1.81 - unaltered settings, straight from steam - 1.06s loadtime
KSP 1.81 - altered settings [meaning that I adjust the resolution, audio, etc.] - 1.04s
KSP 1.81 - altered settings [meaning that I adjust the resolution, audio, etc.] using -popupwindow 1.49 [just by adding the Unity switch, load time is almost doubled]
KSP 1.81 - altered settings [meaning that I adjust the resolution, audio, etc.] not using -popupwindow but using Borderless Games 1.44
KSP 1.81 - altered settings, [meaning that I adjust the resolution, audio, etc.] lightly modded [21], not using -popupwindow but using Borderless Games 1.53
