Title: Windowed Mode issue
Post by: Giftheck on June 27, 2018, 05:06:42 AM
I'm having a problem with the game in Windowed mode: the top of the screen - which is supposed to display the reinforcement counter is 'above' the top of my display with no way to move it from what I can see.

You may want to try another screen resolution either from within the game or by using Battlebelk's resolution changer.

I believe it is also possible to set Windowed mode resolution right after /windowed in the shortcut

I believe that is only for SWBF2

Edit:

Doesn't work for me.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\battlefront.exe" /nointro /win 800 600 /noframelock

A work around to the original problem though is to use Alt-Tab and then move the screen down a little.  The bottom is not as important.

Just checked, you're right. I am using the SWBFAdmin to run it and there's another tab for the size, so it means the launcher is using something "extra".

I don't think Alt-Tab then moving the window works on Windows 10.

I changed my screen resolution anyway because when I checked to see if a setting had been changed perhaps in a previous update, and it had been changed to 125% zoom. Changing it back to 100% zoom has fixed the issue. So for now I can say this has been resolved.

Alt+Tab just brings up the application pane, so it's not useless. Still, it's a big enough change. I jumped from Vista to 10.
