    Default M2TW in windowed mode?

    Hey guys!

    I'm already sorry for posting this question here, since I've already posted it in the technical forum, but I would really like to know:

    Is it possible to play M2TW in windowed mode?

    I couldn't find it as a setting and it's not in the medieval2_preferences.cfg file either!

    Thanks in advance!

    I am not too sure of the exact letters to add but for RTW you right-clicked on the desktop shortcut and selected properties.

    Then you add a series of letters to the end of the location text. Can somebody please post a screenshot of windowed mode as I am unsure as to what it would look like.

    I haven't tried this myself, but I've read elsewhere that adding -w to command should do it.

    If you right click on the icon and choose properties you can edit the command used to launch the game.

    As I say though, I haven't tested this so no guarantees...

    Just tried it out and it doesn't work, you get a fatal error and the game won't start.

    I'm starting to suspect it's just not possible... :(

    it is possible! just found out that you have to edit the medieval.preferences in C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\ and add "windowed = true" in the video section. at least it worked for me
