OBSCURE 2 WINDOW MODE HOW TO
OBSCURE 2 WINDOW MODE FULL

Now weirdest thing happened as i described in my recent topic in this forum, anno wont start from the exe any more as it didt perfectly before, but will now crash immediately after starting exe or the shortcut. using a hotkey you can always leave the window and work on other tasks or go to windows desktop. it was sharp and readable when running in fullscreen, must have been GOG programming to get a sharp type letter style while using a stretched 4:3 resolution on a widescreen.ītw i suggest using the free downloadable cursor lock app it will keep the cursor inside the game window making the edge map scrolling easy and smooth. I remember i had a stretched image before using dxwnd but the ingame type wasnt distorted like it is in the window.

Thx on the great tutorial on how to get anno 1602 in windows 10 running in a window, i did it and it worked, only thing i miss is the smoothened Type all over ingame in the game menu and the info bar etc. At least, though, with it windowed you can use the mouse to switch programs. I haven't figured out a way yet to enable alt-tab while the game is running.

I think the GoG version of this game does that on purpose because task switching when the game is full screen doesn't work well. One thing to note, the alt-tab key is still disabled so you can't use it to switch programs. VA1DER: I have successfully got Anno 1602 to run windowed on my Windows 10 laptop. It scales nicely.Ĥ) Once you have an entry for 1602, run it through DXwnd. My laptop is 1080P, so I selected 1380 x 1040 for mine and then set the window position as X=1, Y=1, and selected Desktop center so the window is about as big as will fit. At the bottom set the window resolution to at least 1024 x 768. Select the button beside Launch and navigate to the 1602.exe executable. You may need to click the 'Change settings for all users' at the bottom and disable all the compatibility settings there, then start this step again and go into the compatibility tab and disable it for you.ģ) Run DXWnd, click edit, and then add. What you want to do is disable compatibility mode. The version linked to above works fine for me.Ģ) Go into your Anno 1602 folder, right click 1602.exe and selec properties thent the compatibility tab.

Thanks, I have successfully got Anno 1602 to run windowed on my Windows 10 laptop. Are you using a specific version? What do your settings look like? Quietusangel: I can't seem to get it to open in a window with DXwnd.
