Lady 0 Posted December 25, 2013 Hello! I'm new to Day Z and am trying to figure out all this fancy vidya game stuff. Where is the option for Windowed Mode? Is there one? Because if so, it is doing an awesome job of hiding from me. Thanks in advance. c: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FruitPunchG 17 Posted December 25, 2013 Now, at the very bottom of the document, there will be "Windowed=0;" displayed. Change the '0' to a '1'.Now, save that document.THIS IS IMPORTANT: After saving your document, right click and go to 'properties'. You must check 'READ ONLY' for this to work, otherwise the game will overight everything you have just done. When starting the game, it will start in an annoying little box. There is probably a way to change that through the same config file, but I can't get that to work. You can resize the window once the game has started with your curser. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmashT 10907 Posted December 25, 2013 You can also add -window to your DayZ launch parameters. Right click on DayZ > General > Set launch options. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ninjacalypse 551 Posted December 29, 2013 When you're in the main menu press alt+enter for windowed mode The problem I'm having is while in windowed-mode the window appears to be stuck in a locked 4:3 aspect ratio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
