Thread: Game Won't Stay in Windowed Mode

  1. #1

    Default Game Won't Stay in Windowed Mode

    I tried editing the "default" config file to set the lines to "windowed=true" and "borderless_window=true," but they always reset back to false after launching the game.

    Then I read the FAQ section that said the in-game resolution has to be the same as the desktop resolution, otherwise it will force disable it, which is what was happening.

    I did that, and now the lines aren't changing back, but what is the point of the windowed mode if the desktop and in-game resolutions are the same? I tried changing the in-game resolution to something lower afterward, but it did not revert to windowed mode.

    The config file lines are still true though. What did I do wrong?

    I think you also need to save your file with the "read only" attribute if I remember correctly.

    Yes, I did that, and I checked: the lines don't change. But it still doesn't stay in windowed mode. It does go to borderless windowed mode for a split second before the loading screen, and then it takes up the whole screen, even though its at a lower resolution (1080p vs 1366p). I play borderless windowed mode for Europa Barbarorum II so I know it works, but it doesn't for Stainless Steel apparently.

    I'm pretty sure it does work with SS. Need to check and will revert.
