Anybody know how to run EBII in windows mode? I hate playing games in full screen mode, and it distorts the resolution of the other monitors so I can't watch twitch/youtube/netflix.

Anybody know how to run EBII in windows mode? I hate playing games in full screen mode, and it distorts the resolution of the other monitors so I can't watch twitch/youtube/netflix.
edit your EBII.cfg file to have the following
[video]
windowed = true
All of the values are either 1 or 0. Would true still work? It was already set to one but wasn't in windowed mode.
I changed it to True and it did not seem to work
It probably got overwritten after you changed it. Set it to read only and it should stick.
Hello.
I too wanted to get EBII to run in windowed mode, but the solution provided here did not work for me. Instead, I added 'windowed = true' to the [i]medieval2[i].cfg in the main medieval 2 directory and now it works fine.
What should I do if I want the windowed mode in fullscreen?
Then you modify both the resolution and the windowed parameters, I believe.
battle_resolution
campaign_resolution
windowed
As far as I know, you cannot play in borderless windowed mode like you can in Rome 1 and Rome 2. But you can play it on full resolution and it's almost as good.
borderless_window = 1 does it for me!Quote:

Get Notepad++. Never edit any of the game's files with Windows Notepad.Quote:
