i want to be able to see my livesplit timer because its been fucking up a lot in the middle of the game and it would also be nice to see my times and stuff

there only seems to be fullscreen and then a small window to play the game in and i obviously cant play the game in a small window

is there a way to play in borderless windowed

There is no known way of this (atleast of my knowledge) because cry of fear is taking priority over other windowed applications and is buggy as hell. I always play in a lower resolution and move my game a bit to the side so I can see my livesplit. If you are recording any runs, you can align everything in OBS so it would look like fullscreen + Livesplit assigned but there is no real way of doing that
