Title: Anyone here play Dark Messiah? I have a question
Post by: Akisohida on September 03, 2008, 06:26:41 PM
OK, I have been trying to run Dark Messiah of Might & Magic in a window. I have been told it CAN BE DONE> x.x I was told to put '-window' in the path line.

So mine looks like "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic\mm.exe" -window

but no matter what I try (-window, -w, '-window', '-w') I can not get a windowed mode. People insist it is possible. Help? :(

Well, it's in the patch notes.
Quote- Windowed Mode: Entering a command line parameter of '-window' will enable the game to be played in a window.

Try putting the argument inside the quotes:
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic\mm.exe -window"

Says it is not valid to put 'window' inside the " things.

Nope. Did
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic\mm.exe" /window

since putting something INSIDE the quotes results in a bad path name error and the game was still full-screen

hokay. The other option is "window" and "--window"...

Neither of which I expect to work, but hey, give it a try. http://www.tweakguides.com/DMOMM_5.html suggests it will make it more unstable, though.

Nope. None of those last two choices worked. :(

Looking into it, it appears that windowed mode was only added in the multiplayer patch, so it's probably only available for multiplayer games. :T
