I am running into issues getting the game started in windowed mode. I've searched the forum and found only one topic related to my problem. Why might Windowed mode fail? I tried not to grave dig, thus this new topic. My problem is as follows: I can run the game fine in full screen. My OS is Windows 7 64-bit. I've installed everything according to the Installation Guide on Drogs website. Now when adding the "-window" or "-windowed" command to the shortcut the game crashes on start-up. It gives me no useful feedback (Windows can't find blahblahblah) I've disabled the scaling on my video card, no change when starting the game though. Thanks would be appreciated.
This is probably the best introductory post I've ever read. Melsky understands and honors the rules observed by The House and has concisely described his issue while also referencing a relevant but inadequate thread. I'm technically useless so I cannot help you with your issue, but I can welcome you to The House. Welcome to The House!
The windowed mode was never properly finished, so they just disabled it in the final build. The unofficial patch unlocks it, but it's a hit or miss. I'm also on Win 7 64-bit and it works fine for me.
I tried D3dwindower, but it didn't seem to work either, only seems to run with no video. Nevertheless I got it running now in a virtualbox. Not the most optimised situation I guess, but well. It works. Thing to note is that windowed mode didn't work on Windows XP either. Now my minor knowledge tends to make me conclude that it should be related to the hardware, but well.. what do I know.. Thanks for the quick responses anyway and thanks for the welcome.
