Windowed Mode?

Simmy · 09-15-13, 12:58 PM

I check the box for windowed mode in the setup screen.
But no window when I start the game. Tried catching the edge of the screen to see if I could resize it, but the pointer was having none of that.
Is There a way to play in window mode or is that just another happy thought like the "red pencil"?

ALT+ENTER when you get in the game.

The red pencil works fine, it's for the U-Boat campaign, it allows you to call in surface ships and/or scout planes.

Thank you Capt. Morgan...

And I did not know that Donna. I read somewhere once that it didn't work and took it at face value.

Alt + Enter did nothing. Still stuck...

Hello Donna. Welcome back.

Sure missed you.

Where have you been?

The game resolution has to be set at less than your desktop resolution. For example my desktop is set at 1920x1080 and game is set at 1600x900.

I've been causing trouble in the general Topics section and playing a lot of Skyrim and Fallout 3.

I don't know what to tell you about the windowed mode, in my game I click on it, leave the game and go back in and it's in window mode. I hope someone else can help you out or you get it straightened out yourself.

ETR3(SS) was correct. For it to work your desktop must be a different resolution than the window.

Thanks a lot...

Here's a way of playing SH3 in windowed mode:

There are lots of programs like Infinite Screen lets you break the boundaries of a Windows screen.

I'm sure this works with SH4 as well.
