Can you play this game windowed not full screen?

May 23, 2008 2:29:35 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

I am thinking about picking up the game, and (shhhh, don't tell anyone) would probably want to play it on slow days at work. That being said, I would need to run it windowed to keep it small enough that I could block view to the screen.    Does that game support that before I chunk down my $60?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, you can play in a window. That being said, it is generally suggested to set the in-game resolution to your monitor's resolution. You can alt-tab out to the desktop in a hurry if you hear those footsteps coming.

Yes and no. Yes because there’s an option somewhere in the options menu and I used it on one of my old computers but no because it seems not every computer can actually do it no matter the settings my Vista laptop will not even alt-tab out of the game without crashing no matter what settings I use and it’s the same with a few other games.
