Play in Windowed Mode???

[Castellon]

Some LCD monitors have a native resoution that is different from the game 1024x768.

On some monitors it has been reported that this gives less than great graphics when the monitor attempts to display image.

You should ask in the modding forum, I beleive there is a window hack around, but there is nothing official.

To be clear that is in NO way a patch.
That is a hack and is not supported.

There will be no fix, when we proposed a solution people did not want it, so it was abandoned. This problem apears to only affect very few people and only on certain combinations of hardware/software.

There are not unlimited resources to apply to patching, and those changes would require all new art work, that just won't happen at this point for HOI2.

The new Paradox engine is fully 3D so these issues will not be present in full games currently under development. this does not include add-ons to existing engine games ofcourse.

There is a user made hack that allows you to play in a window if that is what you are talking about. Check the Modification/Editing forum for stuff like that.

Alt tabbing is not support nor is running other programs at the sam time as the game.

I am not being inconsistant.

I offered you a solution while at the same time warning you that it is not made by Paradox. So I leave the use of it up to you. If you would prefer I keep it secret and not tell you about that option available to you , well I will take that under advisement but I think most people would want to know all their options.

That is a disappointing reply. How do you know it only affects a very few people? I don't want to have to rely on an unofficial hack to play in a windowed mode. That would require very little resources for Paradox to officially supoort and include in a future patch.

This is 2006 not 1998. This silly, myopic viewpoint has put me off buying Galactic Civilisations 2 and will definately put me off any of their products in the future.

Well Gal Civ is not even a Paradox Game, Paradox only is the publisher, so there is no coding of Gal Civ by Paradox, so that is a strange reason to boycot that game.
And As mentioned the new Paradox engine is 3D so the resolution issue is no longer present to this extent.

But if you want to boycot all future Paradox games over a an issue that most games of this type have still today, well I am sorry you feel that way, but I doubt there is much I could do to change your mind.

Do not know anything about this or other user mods sorry, you would have to contact the author for any updated.
