Default Re: Winspww2 does run well anymore

I have NO IDEA why anyone bothers with full screen mode.....NONE. When Andy perfected windowed desktop we should have gone with that and eliminated full screen altogether as it would have eliminated hundreds of hours of aggravation dealing with a format NEITHER of the developers use.

We have been saying for years that if it works in one or the other format...it works. There are too many variables between PC hardware and software to assure that both modes work for everyone so I REALLY don't understand the "doomed to play it in windowed mode" sentiment.

I think windowed mode is awful. I prefer 640x480 full screen so that all the text and buttons fill up the screen. Also, the game zooms in very close and personal.

The task bar and any other stuff on the screen that isn't SP reduces the immersion factor when playing.

Please don't ever get rid of fullscreen mode.

Well said. I'll second the motion: Please don't ever get rid of full screen mode.

Sorry that some of your paying customers have a different preference other than you. You gave us the feature, but turn around and essentially say F-you to those who like the feature. Not to say that I don't understand the frustration.

As a buyer of both WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT, and given your excellent track record for patches and support, I am really surprised - and disappointed - by your post.

Just two cents - colour pictures' mod look better in a windowed mode - they have proper proportions and aren't too much zoomed then
