Is it true that there's less lag in windowed mode?

    Depends on your PC, and how much your system and video chipset can handle, and what resolution you are running at.

    Most people play in windowed mode simply because people multitask so much it is easier to just click on the window of an app or game you are needing, versus trying to ALT+TAB to switch focus.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    From another players perspective --> Window Mode!!

    Like darthpanda16 pointed out (which is VERY true), it is much easier to multi-task rather then ALT+Tab (ugh).

    I will not play in full-screen and have not for a while now. Hey, give it a try, you can always change it back.

    I don't know about windowed. I've found that for me everything is a little to small to work with. I practically have to zoom in to the point where I'm playing from my characters perspective when I try to play windowed.
