kstoyle Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hello Probably a very daft question, but in previous FMs I have been able to play in windowed mode, but this year the option is greyed out in the preferences screen. Usually when this is the case I add "-windowed-small_screen" to the shortcut on my desktop and it works, but not this year. Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to play in Windowed mode? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try --small_screen and/or --windowed (with two hyphens and if you use both, you need a space between the commands) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemendur88 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 In Steam, right click on FM2012 and go to properties, then set launch options and add it there. Steam shortcuts just launch the app through steam, they do no start the exe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstoyle Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 It is on Default (1024 x 768, 60.00 hz) not sure what it means though. I have other options of 70hz, 72hz, 75hz and 85hz. Does this make a difference? I really dont know about these things!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go any smaller than that, then you're risking losing information on screen for when you play it. Are you able to choose anything higher than 1024 x 768? For these type of situations, --small_screen is the correct command to use, as that should force Windowed Mode regardless, but it's unsupported. You could try pressing ALT+ENTER when in the game too, to see if it lets you go into Windowed Mode via the keyboard shortcut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
