once again - how do I 'window' my EB game

[Maksimus]

I would like to have a 'Windowed' EB game on my desktop, so I can monitor some events - but I forgot how to do it

Please help

I know if you add -ne to the target line of your shortcut, the game will be in a smaller windowed version. Like this:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\EB - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:eb -nm -show_err -ne

I wonder if there is a tag to make the game in a larger windowed version?

I have no idea. My laptop has a button that brings up the calculator, so I've always used that to downsize the game to check on things...

ctrl+alt+delete brings up the task manager window, so maybe that'll work.

Thank you, but it does not work for my target

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -nm -noalexander

I have tried in couple of variants

Because you have forgotten to add -ne ? -nm just disables the movies...

The window-size will be determined by your resolution btw, just like the resolution determines the size of the screen on a CRT.

no!

The problem is that adding ''-ne'' anywhere along or inside the this target :

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -nm -noalexander
.... wont allow my EB to be in 'window mod' - that is the problem - the game still works but normal..

Can anyone tell me what option else to try?

I guess you want to have RTW in window smaller then screen resolution?

Set up RTW resolution to smaller dimension then your monitor native resolution ( i assume you have LCD ).
This should give you RTW in window (so you also see desktop ).
And of course use -ne option. Without it your monitor resolution will adjust to RTW resolution.
