Hope others will find this useful... If you do, give me a thumbs up, a like, a star, or whatever the heck they use.
Do you want to play a GoG Galaxy game in window mode? Here's how.
1. You must install the run the game you want to play. For example - I'll use Ultima 5.
This makes GoG Galaxy install the game on your pc.
2. Once installed, launch Gog Galaxy, and go to the top sliders
(#1 in the picture, photo attached) click on the sliders. go down to MANAGE INSTALLATION / CONFIGURE, click on CONFIGURE.
3. scroll down to "FILE 1". (#2 in the photo). You are NOT doing anything here, except FINDING where the CONFIG file is... In my case, its on an "E: drive".
4. Once you know where to find the CONFIG file, go to it. (#3 in the photo)
5. Double click the file "dosboxULTIMA5" (your game name will be different). Open the file with NOTEPAD. You can do that by right clicking the file and select OPEN WITH, then chose NOTEPAD.
6. Once the file is opened - scroll down to "fullscreen=true" and change it to "fullscreen=false" (see photo #4)
7. Then (see photo #5) scroll down to "windowsresolution=original" and change to "windowsresolution=800x600". FYI - you can adjust your resolutions here based on how big you want your window to be... you can use 1280 x 720 also - like this "windowsresolution=1280x720". (you can look online for common resolutions and test them out)
8. once this change is made, close the window and click "SAVE" to save the changes. (Run Galaxy again and start the game to see if you like the changes - if not, go back to the file and make additional changes.)
Ive look in here but there wasnt a comprehensive tutorial on how to get out of full screen and use a window. Also, I wont be able to provide support but if you have a question, im sure others in here can help.
Hope this helps!
