But that begs the question: Why bother playing a game at all if you're going to work on other stuff and not concentrate on or enjoy the game?Chris'Shenanigunner' wrote in message news:Xns96AC95E7CA826nitropressatnitrosyn@216.168.3.44.

Everything else about windowed mode seems to be a PITA.Quite simple. Multi monitor setups.The default for any DirectX game is to 'blank' any additional monitorsthat are connected (if it can't be used).

While that may seem logicalat first I for one like the idea of keeping a handy web page or twovisable during gameplay. Esspecially handy some things.Current Video setup:- two acer AL1715 LCDs on a 128Mb e-Geforce FX 5500 (it was cheap)- one IBM E74 CRT on a Voodoo3 2000pci via a KVM-Maxx Pollare, a 'small god' within this minds eye.

The programs would change a flag color when anupload or download was finished, so I could see at a glance and thenreplace them with a new during the next natural pause in the game.With my current software I can queue them and the uploads will startautomatically when their turn comes, so I don't use this anymore. But itwas a perfectly reasonable approach at the time.-'When someone starts bragging about how much debt they have, it's not agood sign.' Archived from groups: alt.games.coh Why bother playing a game at all if you're going towork on other stuff and not concentrate on or enjoy the game?Well, I tend to play the game in two modes - full-on mode,where I have a bundle of missions and hook up with teams toplay them, and then casual mode where I'm running betweencontacts to gather missions, manage/sell enhancements, level up,and bash the occasional baddies.

In this mode, it's sometimeshandy to have it in windowed mode so keep an eye on the newsor something.-pm'I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge toconquer Poland.'

There are many reasons to multi task, you are now about to level, you alt tab and start checking at your character design program possobile routes to take the hero, then you alt tab back in and choose.3. Sometimes multi monitor setup works, sometimes doesnt.4.

I have never had a crash in any game in window mode (ofcourse it is possible, just much less likely then full screen). The Witcher for example crashes all the time, it never crashes in window mode. Many other games are the same.

I have the occasional crash with fullscreen mode, this would help.5. There are games out there that do things sensibly and correctly size their GAME AREA to the resolution you choose. Such as EVE online. That way a tool, like EVEMON can automatically relocate that window so it PERFECTLY fits the screen, and you see NO window bars on any side of the monitor (and it is impossible to click on anything aside from the actual playable game area.6.

Sometimes you don't CHOOSE to alt tab. Accidently hitting the window key, getting an IM, etc.

There are many things that automatically minimize the full screen game, resulting in LOOOONG delays to get back in and possible crashes. (if you accidently hit the windows key, do you want it to pop on TOP of COH and then go away next time you click on coh, in under a second, or take a few seconds to get out of coh and load the desktop from the scratch file, then take 20 seconds to load the game back up?7.

WOW has a 'borderless' window mode where they do the same automatically (or does it leave a tiny square around the entire window that covers the whole screen?). It is not perfect, but it is a huge step in the right direction.Anyways, most companies epicly fail at something so simple.

All games should be run in window mode, it allows alt tab, it allows for accidentally hitting the windows key, it eliminates alt-tab crashes and many other crashes, it is so SOOO good. And yet nobody does it right.

EVE is the only game I can do it right on and that takes a 3rd party tool.
