Topic: Anyone else play in windowed mode?

I sure as Heck do. World in Conflict, Project Reality, and now First Strike. I don't mind the smaller window size, and it has a number of advantages that catch my interest. It lets me alt-tab instantly in and out of the game at any time without causing any lag or impact on performance, and it lets me hit Alt+F4 to quit the game instantly instead of navigating to the main menu and then hitting the 'Quit to Windows' key. No more boring waits watching that bar progress - I'm waiting for FS to load a map as I write this.

All you need to do is take your FS shortcut, right-click it, go to 'Properties' and change 'fullscreen 0' to 'fullscreen 1' in the Goal bar. Have fun.

Re: Anyone else play in windowed mode?

Thanks for the tip. big_smile

Edit: Hey what would happen if I put something like 2 next to +fullscreen?

And can I adjust the size of the window in any way? My screen is rectangular, but the window is square.....looks wierd.
