Windowed mode?

[Doobious]

Since widescreen resolutions are not supported (again!), can this game be played in windowed mode?

[Arkady]

yes

How ? Didn't find any screen res/windowed mode options ...

EDIT : huh, sorry, found it... [8|]

BTW, is that me or is the game a real hog when windowed ? Everything is jerky and buttons/actions take more than 1/2 second to acknowledge...
In full screen it's much more fluid.
And any chance to have better res than 800*600 [&o]?

I just got used to the stretched icons in wide-screen mode.  Once you get used to it, it seems normal.

Game is in 1024x768, not 800x600

[PDiFolco]

Oops, the window was so small I thought it was 800*600 - but maybe that's due to the fact that the window is immovable and is to the top and left of the screen

It should not be. I have that happen every now and then when I move my laptop off a separate monitor. If I close the game and reopen it fills the whole screen again.

Also, game is one of the best I have purchased from Matrix in terms of its stability, especially using ALT-TAB. Most of theirs blow up.

I have always had a problem with this game and Alt-Tab.  When I alt-tab it locks up the computers and forces me to relog.  Doesnt happen everytime but over half the time.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I just thought it was my machine but with others talking about it not sure.

The game being programmed in Java is a bless - for multiplatform, stability, ..- as well as a curse - general slowness/choppiness, not graphics-friendy.. [:'(]

Most of "theirs" I have purchased have "minimize" buttons that work perfectly with no need for the use of ALT+TAB. You must be buying from a different Matrix Games than I.

alt-tab never crashes on my PC with CEAW - it used to, but does not any more.

Same here, from 1.02 version I have not seen it.

Today alone alt-tab has crashed my computer eachtime I moved from game to sending it.  It was 3 for 3.  That is a little above normally.  Normally it locks up about 2 out of 3 times when I use the alt tab.

Does it happen in windowed mode or full screen mode?

Full screen

If I place game in windowed mode it should stop the crashes?  If so let me know how to do that.
 
Thanks

Is there  a setup option to make windowed the default?
