Screen mode

Is it possible to have your game in something else than full screen?

Thanks in advance!

Multitasking is the best thing. Next step, get a second monitor to leave twitch streams on while you're idling in NWN and playing another game in window mode.

This is why people often find me sitting afk at tables, staring into space. Sorry!

I've got mine set up to use a resolution smaller than my screen. That way I'm able to switch from game to desktop to no problem. Your settings look good, maybe just lower the resolution a tad for the game? That's what I did.

Using Alt-Enter just bring me back to my desktop - the game is still open but in full mode screen in my bar and not in window mode screen.

Need to use a valid resolution that coincides with your OS or monitor or whatever. I use 1440x900 personally.

Also it's AllowWindowedMode, not Window.

Could it be because I'm running my game as an administrator?

This is how it should look, it is a direct copy from my .ini file. For some reason, the game will not open in window mode, and you have to press alt+enter. Moving the NWN folder to the desktop starts it automatically in window mode.

[Display Options]
Width=800
Height=600
BitsPerPixels=32
RefreshRate=60

I would love to run the game in windowed mode myself, but for some reason my game often tends to crash when use I alt-tab or when I minimalize the game. Still have no idea what causes it.
