Matthias1985 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i have the same problem on the demo i was able to have windowed mode but on the full game it is greyed out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Try this: 1. Right click on the FM09 icon on your desktop & click properties. 2. In the target field, add "-windowed -small_screen" at the end of the target, with a space between the target & "-windowed -small_screen" & obviously no quotation marks. 3. Click ok & you should be able to play in windowed mode next time you run FM09 -------------------- This is how you do it with a Windows PC. Also, you should probably have FM09 off when doing this. If you recieve an error message when opening FM09 after trying this, you should probably delete the bit of the target that I told you to add on & go back to full screen mode.

I said it several times, if I use this, the game crashes. So I can't play FM windowed. Nobody of SI gives any answer... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atredes71 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Playing in windowed mode has been a nice fix to improve performance since the demo. Why would they remove it as an option in the settings? The -window etc. works but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
