  • Downloaded a game; how can I take it off full-screen mode?

    What the title says.

    The download is one of Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's creations, and it works just fine; only problem is, it always starts in full-screen mode, and I have no idea how to reduce it! Hitting "escape" doesn't work. On a friend's advice, I tried Alt+Enter. No luck.

    Anyone know?

    I'm not familiar with that particular game, but on most of the ones I download, click on options or menu (if no options) and there is usually a Full-Screen check box. Uncheck it.

    Hope that helps.

      Press "F5" & it should give you the option to either play it in full screen or windowed mode.

        Some windows applications let you use Alt+Enter to switch from full-screen to windowed mode.

          Nope, none of those solutions works. Damn, that's frustrating!

            Depending on the game.... I downloaded a couple of random ones off the site...
            You've probably already looked so feel free to ignore ...

            If there's a file in the zip called winsetup(.exe) there's a setting in there to check to run in a window.
            If not, then I have no idea sorry :/
            Arp happens!

            Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

                And now, I see that I can only play it in full-screen mode. If it's in a window, it just stops within a minute, and won't continue. What a mess!
