Window mode

[Recoil]

I went into the EB Configuration and checked the 'Window mode on' so that I would be better able to casually play EB whilst keeping my attention on other stuff (msn, internet, etc) but whenever I use it if I alt/tab to try and use anything else EB crashes! Is it just not made for being used like this or am I missing something? Cheers

I'll try that on my uber-build, whichshould be being built tommorow.

EB requires 0.5x more power from cpu and memory requirement than the vanilla RTW
not recommended unless u got a high OC CPU with the most powerful GFX and memory setups
(example, i could play EB , and do the above but also play another game)

recommend u get my kind of setup

intel quad core qx9650 ED @ 4.66 ghz
OCZ DDR3-1333 w 5-5-5-5 timing @ 4gb
geforce 9800gx2 @ quad sli with 1gb ddr3 ram each making combined 6000gb memory for graphic and CPU power

i can play EB all day virtually without CTD related to memory leak
its all to blame the RTW engine problems tbh
but u can try
just restart EB after couple of hours and youll be okay

Unfortunately, not all of us have the resources required to get a high-end pc.

This is very weird though, and I can't just think of what might be causing the problem. What exactly happens? Any error messages?

It only cost me 670 quid, and that's with top-of the-range mouse and headset. And an aftermarket fan. minus all that, and it comes to about 550, which is very good indeed.

Hax- basically, i configure it for window mode and start it up, and everything's fine to begin with. But then if I use alt/tab to access anything else when I try and go back to the game the window of whatever I was doing before stays there, effectively EB disappears and says it's not responding. Very weird I know
