Run while minimized

UF582151 · 05-18-10, 12:01 AM

Is there some darn way to make this game keep running while minimized? Time seems to stop when I switch to another app.

Or make it windowed somehow so I can multitask while running the game? There is an option in graphics settings to run it in windowed mode but I'll be damned if it does anything.

SH3 as far as I recall would run if you minimized it. Maybe I'm remembering wrong?

No, you're not. I minimize SH3 all the time using the Windows button. I do it when I want to double check my little Beaufort chart I keep on my desktop.

To run the game windowed, select 'windowed mode' then adjust the screen resolution down one option from your native resolution.

Although I'm fairly sure that the game will still pause if you switch out of it even in windowed mode.

Game runs ok in windowed if you go to something else
Have mine windowed for modding and regulary leave it running behind whatever webpage am browsing or even the mission ed

BBW,
What is the reason to use window mode? Any advantage for regular game play?
