Title: Windowed Mode
Post by: DreadStunLock on December 25, 2010, 04:47:39 PM
Was there any topics made about the posibilities of playing Project Stealth in windowed mode? Like being able to move it around the screen, and stretch it around the screen anyway you want to?

Because honestly I hate playing games in Full Screen due to the inconvenience of not being able to use Facebook/MSN/Skype/ICQ or Just Internet Explorer, and don't mention Xfire because it's a big hunk of unstable <Peep>. So what do developers say?!

How about it being in windowed mode, but still appears as if it was in fullscreen? Like in L4D2 or WoW.

He means that pressing the Windows key will minimize the game.


However, windowed mode is a lot faster, as it does not involve minimizing the game.
The reason that minimizing and going back into the game takes a long time, is because when the game is restored, it has to destroy all ressources, then recreate them.


This is easily done in PS using the SetRes (Format: XxYxCM - Where X is the width of the screen, Y is the height of the screen, C is the color mode, and M is the presentation mode, which can be either windowed or full screen. Eg. "SetRes 1024x768x32w" to change the resolution to 1024 wide, 768 tall, with 32 bit colors, windowed) console command.

Who cares what I use? It's more convenient to me than any other bullshit, like Chrome that thing just sucks to my liking.

Better upgrade to an IE9 beta soon then. I won't support IE6 anymore and won't go all out on fixing IE7 and IE8.

You can use already use windowed mode in SCCT by forcing it with 3d analyze. Maybe it would work with PS too :P

PS already allows windowed mode easily.

SCCT one sucks balls, you can't stretch it to your liking manually by click and drag.

I can use scct window mode, that looks exactly like fullscreen (the window header isn't there too)

As a side effect it even has high fps, but it's laagy -.-

it looks exactly like fullscreen because your monitor res is same as you have ingame ;)
