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

    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.

    Thumbs down Re: once again - how do I 'window' my EB game

    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.
