Note: The game will only run in window mode if your desktop is set to 16 bit colour.

No. The game will NOT run AT ALL in 32 bit colour mode. It'll give you an error, and then close.

I don't know what PaD is talking about...

You won't have a sidebar in the game when running in windowed mode.
Just battlefield view.
Besides the pause menu is messed.

In my experience... Yes you will and no it isn't? o.O

And I tested 10 seconds before posting so no, I'm not mistaken. Rolling Eyes

you can get out the game and into the posting screen in under 10 seconds?!? That's amazing, it normally doesn't let me go out because my laptop is so slow and stupid

Question: Does your YR resolution match your new window size? Because if you're running at 1024x756 or whatever it is in a 800x600 window, it would only make sense that it fucks up.
