qwertman Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Fullscreen or windowed? personally I like windowed, browsing the web beats staring at "Processing" for 2 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Windowed. But then I have a 17" screen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Used to have windowed, but wasted too much time on the forums Now have it full screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Windowed mode on my 23 inch monitor and fullscreen on my 15 inch laptop. And I always Alt-Tab to do other things when the game is processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyscarab Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hmm. Came across this post while my game was working thru FA cup results.... Does that tell you anything? I usually play windowed, yet most people reckon that 3d plays at a better frame rate when not windowed. I personally agree with the masses, yet anything is better than staring at a progress bar...

phnompenhandy Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 "How do you play your FM sessions?" Naked. Oh, sorry - windowed (on a laptop). I have Genie and FMRTE running, plus WMP for music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elchickanito Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 HAHA...love that phnompenhandy. Literally laughed out loud. I play fullscreen and return to web while it processes. This is the first year I'll be playing it on a laptop. Kind of excited for that. Can now take FM to bed with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreTheShadow Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I've been using Windowed mode since I got my new computer with a 22" monitor. Sometimes I'll drag the window over to my other monitor, but I usually keep whatever media player I'm using at the time on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I play windowed and have explorer opened up directly in front of/behind it. Sometimes I forget I'm playing if I have found a good thread to read through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koki Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Full screen on my laptop while web browsing on my computer. If for some reason I don't web browse, then there's finally time to clean up my room while FM is 'processing'. But that doesn't happen very often.

AMS Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Full screen doesnt work on my laptop, it just keeps flashing, so this has been the first game I have used windowed, although I do now prefer it, as I can keep facebook open, and listen to music.

Freagle Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Windowed. I play lan most of the time with 6 other friends so I couldn't bother waiting for 50% of them to press continue.

Bhoy! Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Windowed, so I usually browse the web, use msn and either listen to music/watch tv shows or movies in a smaller window all at the same time. Still works smoothly, loving it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
