I just have one monitor. I also tried disabling Xinerama, but it had not effect.

If I start the game windowed, the mouse can leave the game. The
slowdown only happens when the mouse moves inside it, but not when the
steam overlay is active.

When the game starts fullscreen, It has no borders. I tried to apply
the "Better Borders" patch, but again it had no effect. Did you mean
something else?

Thanks!
