SDL3: The new screen modes are unusable on macOS

Bug description

The new version of Osu!lazer removed the option to use "Borderless" resolution, which was PERFECT. I have a lot of problem with the resolution now, its laggy, the performance of the game and input lag is worse, my Mac is using 20-30% more GPU and CPU and it just feels wrong. Also I have a program called "Bartender", which changes the menu bar, and it alters in with Osu and makes it actually terrible, I tried to use the 2560x1660 resolution and it still did that, with the Borderless option I had no issues at all, because the screen resolution the game used was 2560x1664 and the upper part where the menu bar is located was just black, which was perfect. I have some screenshots of this thing, please consider adding back the option for borderless resolution or whatever it was called. One thing to mention, before the update I could easily switch windows and go back to osu instantly, now if I go back to osu window it needs 5-8 seconds to scale for full screen, which is terrible and making me hate this game and installing back the version before. The first screenshot is of my screen without Osu (to show the menu bar which is on the top of the screen) and the other two screenshots are, how it looks in game, with the difference being one is "Default" and one is "2560x1600".

Will leave this to the macOS users to make a call on (cc @peppy @smoogipoo @frenzibyte)

macOS +1. Actually the old "borderless" was conceptually closer to what is considered "fullscreen" (and vice versa), since it didn't just fill up the main display but instead, kept everything of osu!lazer in a clean, dedicated fullscreen window. And although the borderless mode is removed, the relevant keybindings and prompts are still present, and are causing confusion. Say, when I launched 2024.519.1, saw the windowed game and pressing Option+Enter repeatedly with no avail, then saw this in the configuration:

And, to say the worst, makes the game somewhat unplayable. Is there a better workaround?

Edit: Tried to downgrade to 2024.412.1 and was told the local database too new and to install the latest release. This is frustrating.

Adding to this, on Linux the situation is even worse

Changing resolutions and screen modes can cause a game crash and an monitor "loss" on x11, which I could reproduce with 100% guarantee on a tiling window manager with a multimonitor setup

Steps to repro:

1. Launch osu! in fullscreen
2. Change screen mode to Windowed
3. Change screen mode back to Fullscreen
4. Change resolution to any resolution below monitor's native
5. Change resolution back to native

At step 3, in-game resolution appears broken,
, at step 5 the client crashes and the monitor it was on "disconnects", becoming an inactive xrandr output

NOTE: It might of course be setup-specific as linux things tend to be, but it seems relevant enough

EDIT: It appears to only happen if the monitor ordering was changed prior to launching the game. Probably warrants a separate issue because it's ultra specific and insanely client-breaking

Yes, open a separate issue thread.

Any update on this? Since the last update I can't no longer use the borderless mode neither...

[peppy]

@Vexcited fullscreen mode should work as a direct replacement for borderless mode. Could you please describe the specific issues you are having, along with video if relevant?

[Vexcited]

@peppy, it looks very broken when I alternate between my windows and osu! (when doing alt tabs for example)

I was very used to have osu! in a fullscreen space so I can simply switch to my desktop/apps quickly instead of having to minimize/alt tab osu! (which is kinda broken as you can see in the video)

I can't do this now without the bordered fullscreen option :

Also, an issue you can't see here is that when I'm playing on my macbook, I have the notch at the top. It doesn't really matter in gameplay but in the menu, there's some buttons I can't see because the notch is on top of it.
