Possible to change windowed resolution?

Kapitanleutnant · 08-05-11, 08:23 PM

I'm using a widescreen monitor, and while I've got the game tweaked to fit my screen ration I'd rather play in windowed mode (I alt-tab out of the game often, and this causes sound problems with fullscreen).
Anybody know is a way to do this? I'm basically hoping to play the game windowed but at a res only slightly smaller than my desktop.

As far as I know if you play in windowed mode you're stuck with the game's native resolution. Tinkering with the res can only be done if you play fullscreen.

That said, if there is a way to play windowed at a higher res I'd love to know about it.

I run two monitors, usually the smaller on in 1280x1024 and the larger one in 1680x1050. When I run SH3, I just bring the smaller one down to 1024x768 and go windowed. Works out very well for me. It also seems as though the audio bugs from alt+tab stopped when I went to windowed mode.

That's a good idea I'd never thought of... especially using Display Changer, which would make it easy enough. Just set it up so the res automatically changes to 1024x768 when the game is running and reverts back when you exit. I use Display Changer and that option never even occurred to me!

Go into the properties of the shortcut. On the shortcut tab there's a RUN option towards the bottom. Selected Maximized to run the game in a full screen window.
