You CAN set the game's resolution to your desktop resolution in windowed mode and it will seem like fullscreen mode. You can even set non-standard resolutions by editing the resolution in engine.ini manually without using the Config.exe program. However, not all resolutions work, so you'll have to experiment a bit. And make sure you backup the original file.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So I tried this and didn't see any difference. So I shut down and went back to my engine.ini and found that my edited settings were there but the game had wrote 1024 and 768 in to new additional values preceeding my values. I guess it didnt like my resolution <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
So how do I go Windowed mode?
 
Set fullscreen = 0 in engine.ini.
Random resolutions like 1208x3407 won't work. But more-or-less normal resolutions should work. Try some more. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
