Title: NWN Not Full Screen
Post by: Elessar Telrunya on April 23, 2006, 03:22:09 PM

Hey, how do I run NWN in a regular window and not full screen? I tried setting the FullScreen option to 0, in the NWN.ini file, but it didn't seem to work...any suggestions/answers?

Edit nwn.ini, add AllowWindowedMode=1 where the Fullscreen=1 line is, and change it to Fullscreen=0.

Maybe set the game to a smaller resolution than your desktop.

I think you mean alt+tab and that doesn't always work. I can get it in window mode, but I don't like playing like that. For me, I can't use alt+tab in nwn without my comp fucking up and crashing nwn, and having to restart. Because my video card is screwy. Plus Windowed Mode makes things even easier in alot of cases.

How do I run NWN in a window?  (Courtesy of Neverwinter Vault.)
Here are the steps:

   1. Open up your NWN.ini file in a text editor.
   2. Under the [Display Options], make sure your setting for the game resolution is less than your desktop setting. For example, if you run your desktop at 1024x768, then change this to Width=800 and Height=600. If you don't make it less, it won't work.
   3. Add this line again under the [Display Options] section: AllowWindowedMode=1
   4. Change the FullScreen from 1 to 0, like this: FullScreen=0

That's it. Also Popovod mentioned that if you hit maximize in the window it will take you to full screen mode. If you want to get back to the windowed mode from here it's ALT+Enter.
