What is the best way to force a game into windowed mode if: There is no option ingame, ALT+Enter does not work and neither does adding "-windowed" parameters to game shortcut/target line?
 
disable fullscreen optimizations on the properties maybe
 
what game is it? PCgamingwiki usually has advice like this in it. have you searched their database?

it is In Cold Blood GOG release. Wiki section has very little info about it. But in the meantime i managed to run it in a very small, practically unusable window.
 
Hi,
No hardware listed gpu wise
AMD no idea.

NV panel might have some settings resolution for sure but might have some other stuff to.
 
I answered my own question in the meantime. Dxwnd. The window prostitute program.:D Works great. Also tested with Discworld Noir. Which I also couldn't get to run in window. Works great for all window sizes I want.:clap:

funny how that works isn't it?! if it's like me, you spend a hour banging your head against the wall, and then a bit after making a post looking for help, you inevitably find the magic answer in the corner of the web lol

I was going to suggest using an AHK script I use for similar purposes but whatever program you found (I'll have to check it out later....I'm not about to search for that phrase on my work laptop lmao) looks to be more user friendly since the script would require some manual adjustment to the code like to fit to your screen size sorta stuff
