No problem dude.

My guide is about getting the most out of MEA, modding is just a huge part of that. And thanks.

I don't mind, your guide is about modding, this is basic configuration stuff.

People should know by now that DirectX fullscreen sucks and shouldn't be used -- it's slow to switch, it is prone to freezing, and when it doesn't freeze a notification or a message from a chat app can bring you out of the game and killed until (if?) you manage to get back in.

Is it cool if I link to your guide in my guide?
