How to run Empire Earth II in windowed mode?

Post by Dr.MonaLisa »

UPDATE 24.11.2017:
If you use Unofficial Patch 1.5: https://ee2.eu/patch/
You can enable Windowed Mode by UP1.5 Settings:

1. Make sure that Unofficial Patch 1.5 is installed (link above)
2. Start the game launcher by clicking on the EE2 icon on your desktop.
3. Click on the "Change UP1.5 Settings" button and confirm with "YES" when it asks you to run as administrator.
4. Find option the "Windowed Mode" option and check it.
5. Click on the "OK - Save changes" button and start the game.

Old version of the post:

I found a way "How to use Empre Earth II in windowed mode".
It's awesome, for example when you want to chat with people, but you don't like to minimize and maximize EE2 all the time.

Screenshot:

(You can set other resolutions, I tested with 800x600).

How to do it?
Go to folder where you installed Empire Earth II (default it's: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\Empire Earth II)
Find file: myconfig.cfg (for main version of EE2) or myconfig_EE2X.cfg (for EE2X [AOS])
Open myconfig.cfg or myconfig_EE2X.cfg with notepad, and add the following lines:

Code: Select all

g_bFullscreen = 0 
g_allowWindowedMode = 1 
g_ConstrainCursor = 0 
s_windowXOffset = 10 
s_windowYOffset = 10 
s_adapterIndex = 0
Save the file. Now start EE2.
EE2 will be in the windowed mode now. To uninstall it, just edit that file again, and remove the lines you added.
