Posts from [Launch HoMMV in windowed mode]

Could you please tell me if it's possible to run HoMMV in windowed mode? I remember that this option was available in previous versions, but I couldn't find the corresponding checkbox in the settings of the fifth installment.

I don't have the game on hand right now. But I think there's a checkbox for "Fullscreen Mode" somewhere in the settings. In the original version, I even tried unchecking it. The game launched, but I didn't like it, so I put it back.

It seems possible, but you'll need a Heroes tweaking tool, it's called something like **h5_tweak**, search for it on Yandex.

2 Boris K: There's no checkbox – we looked for it together. Perhaps a patch is needed. 2 Night Nazgul: Thanks, I found it. However, the tweaker isn't working yet; I'm trying to figure it out. Actually, the fullscreen mode is controlled by the gfx_fullscreen variable (values 0 or 1) in the user.cfg file. However, the resulting window doesn't have a Windows frame or title bar with control buttons, meaning it can't be moved or resized using the mouse. Research continues... :smile27:

Maybe I found not a checkbox, but the variable gfx_fullscreen (values 0 or 1) in the user.cfg file. I like to tinker with config files. I remember that I didn't like the result very much.

Yeah, me too... Maybe we should ask Nival's technical support? This is one of those rare cases where "RTFM" doesn't help.
