CSF Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Not exactly a major issue here (seeing as I usually want to watch the whole game) but still, not in love with the latest change. As it is, if I press the windows screen to look at something else, the game pauses. All well and good except..........we already have a pause button. Particularly in pre-season, sometimes I don't mind to have the match run while I'm doing something else. Now it isn't an option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey1978 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah this does seem to be the case. The only way around it is to play in windowed mode and then full-screen the window - you can then switch between windows without FM pausing. Hopefully it can be resolved in a future patch, though.

Administrators Lucas Posted October 21, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 21, 2011 Go to Preferences - Display & Sound - change Display: Default to Windowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankylars Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 If you're going to be switching programs while playing the game, it makes more sense to be in windowed mode anyway, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybouldinho Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 If you're going to be switching programs while playing the game, it makes more sense to be in windowed mode anyway, IMO. Why? Alt-Tab means you can have true full screen FM and still do other things as well. Windowed FM isnt the same as full screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 22, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2011 Personally I find windowed mode much better, but that's just my opinion. We are looking into the issue yeah, but I wouldn't expect a fix any time particularly soon I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOUSOUS Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 +1, a fix will be nice, same "problem" for me and for this time, no way to activate the windowed option, grey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojby Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Neil, This is really annoying when the game pauses when you minimise the game. There are loads of people on the forums who are not happy that this happens (me included). Please can you raise the priority of this as I am surprised that this was removed/not considered in the first place. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uranus131 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Why did SI change this in the first place? Just want to show how different it is from FM11'? Make no sense. I really hate this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking into the issue yeah, but I wouldn't expect a fix any time particularly soon I'm afraid. Same, it just seems too big in full screen mode! Actually, come to think of it, I never really use my whole screen. Firefox is always on half screen, FM is on windowed so taking up about 2/3rds of the screen, TV shows usually take up the gap on the right that FM leaves blank, never more than half the screen. The only time I ever have one thing covering my whole screen is when I watch movies! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo24 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I play in windowed mode but if I played in full screen this would really annoy me because like many others I sometimes switch to my browser or go to change the music thats playing and just let the game play out.

Welshace Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 yup.. hate this... can't see why a tiny little fix can't be knocked up for it... add a tickbox option in preferences... can't see how it would take long and hardly difficult to roll out given we're on steam now... isnt this the point of steam?
