Hello, on the expansion's features list there is a line that reads "Play Distant Worlds in windowed mode minimize the window while your game plays in the background", I was wondering, how do you activate it? I know that I probably missed an obvious check in the options screen or a entry in the manual, but I can't seem to find it, where is it?

Thanks in advance.

there is a startup.ini file in the game folder. Mine looks like this

'Distant Worlds startup settings

'screenwidth 1024
'screenheight 768
'hyperdrivespeed 1.6

So I guess this is where you setup the windowed mode. I'm also launching the game now, if I find an explicit option for this I'll let you know

No explicit option for this, the startup.ini must be the one for this

here's the confirmation pvicente

tm.asp?m=2654020

so it's still a wish for an explicit option in a future patch, untill then we have the startup.ini file. Note that even now alt-tab is fast and reliable but offcourse it's not the same as a windowed mode.

And... it worked! [:)] Thanks guys.

great, hopefully we'll have in the future a more intuitive way of doing it.
Have fun
