Multi-monitor Windowed

Post by shoutdawg »

Can this game be run in windowed mode?

I have a 3 monitor setup (from left to right: monitor #1 - monitor #2 - monitor #3). Starting the game, the initial AGEOD splash screen shows up in monitor #2 (center monitor), but the game then loads and plays in monitor #1 (left monitor).

The resolution is fine (full screen at 1920 x 1080), but I'd like to know if there was some way to get the game to play in the center monitor (monitor #2, in my case).

Kind of answered my own question...

Modified the \Pride of Nations\VGN\Settings\Display.opt file using notepad.

File originally read:
ScreenWidth = Default
ScreenHeight = Default
ScreenDepth = Default
ScreenFrequency = Default
Cursor = Hardware
FullScreen = 0
Windowed = 1
Borderless = 1

BrigthnessLevel = 0
MapBrigthness = 0
SeeTutoFiles = 1
SeeAIFiles = 1
D3D9FullScreen = 0
RegionsBorders = 1
NoWinterBitmaps = 0


Modified to:
ScreenWidth = 1776
ScreenHeight = 1000
ScreenDepth = Default
ScreenFrequency = Default
Cursor = Hardware
FullScreen = 0
Windowed = 1
Borderless = 0

BrigthnessLevel = 0
MapBrigthness = 0
SeeTutoFiles = 1
SeeAIFiles = 1
D3D9FullScreen = 0
RegionsBorders = 1
NoWinterBitmaps = 0


The lines I modified are:
ScreenWidth = 1776
ScreenHeight = 1000
Borderless = 0

The AGEOD splash screen still fires off in monitor #2 and game still loads in monitor #1, but it launches in a window that I can drag to monitor #2 and play.

Sorry to step too late in answering you, but I'm happy you found the solution by yourself, in any case

ps: is 1776 pixels a value with a special meaning to you, like it reminds you of the War of American Independence? [:D]

Thanks for the reply and I truly love this game! For it's grand scope, the interface makes it extremely playable and enjoyable. I will be playing it for a very long, long time.

As for 1776px width (although I am in the US [:)] ), that dimension leaves some space for the Windows 8 charm bar. The 1000px height leaves space for the windows task bar.

I've also run the game at 5760 x 1000 across my three monitors and it is just awesome!
