IWWROCKS Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Ok so I installed the game, played it in windowed and everythings fine. Installed the patch and now "windowed" is greyed out in the display settings on preferences. Has the patch taken away "windowed" ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy13 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 1. Right-click the FM icon on your desktop & click on "properties" 2. In the "target" field in the dialogue box that opens, add "-windowed -small_screen" at the end of the target, making sure there's a space in between. So it should read like this: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\fm.exe" -windowed -small_screen 3. Save your changes & you'll be able to play FM in window mode next time you run FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football_Manager08 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 And when installed with Steam...? When installed with Steam. Simply make a shortcut of the game (right click >> create shortcut). Then do the following which is above ^ So just add: -windowed -small_screen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleb Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Sorry, that doesn't work. The game starts windowed, en then it crashes after few seconds... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klimowicz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 No point making a new thread... I can't set the game to windowed mode in the full Steam download version, but I was able to do so on the downloaded demo version (not Steam) by changing it in display preferences. The "windowed" button in display preferences is greyed out, and I tried the "-windowed -small_screen" on the shortcut like I did for fm08, but there is another line of text next to the .exe (" -applaunch 10540 ") which can't be deleted and replaced with the "-windowed" line. Anyone know why the demo was fine but the full d/l isn't in windowed mode? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesteral Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I've had no issues playing in windowed mode from steam so far, so I'm guessing this is a user based problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
--b-- Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 gee this will be a big problem for me. is this same issue happening for everyone? is the boxed version any different? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klimowicz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I've even booted up the demo version and that's still set to windowed and works fine... which suggests the boxed version will be okay. Where is it actually installed on Steam? Posted this in the Bugs Forum mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I went in the preference option and selected windowed and worked fine for me. I have the retail boxed version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DietSpam Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Not happening for me. Steam version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleb Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 In the demo everything was fine for me... Now I can only play full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonkyDick Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 My windowed mode works but it is unwatchable because of the stuttering. It's smooth in fullscreen but I prefer to play in windowed and it's shockingly bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleb Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 With the demo everything was fine, I could select "windowed" at the preferences. Now with the full game I can't play windowed. With the "-windowed-small_screen" trick, the game starts and then after a few seconds it crashes... Anyone have a solution for this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
