Greetings,

I notice that in my graphic preferences the game supports the full range of full-screen resolutions (1280x1024, 1600x1200, 1024x768, etc.).

However....if I'd like to run this game in a window...my highest resolution choice seems to ONLY be 800x600.

Is there a way to 'activate' support for any playing in a window at resolutions over 800x600? If not, does anyone know if they plan to support this in the future?

Question 2....Does anyone know if the game will recognize AGP for ATI video cards in the future and take advantage of those benefits?

Thankyou :)

You can run SL at nearly any size in windowed mode. Start SL in windowed mode, and then resize the window by dragging on a corner of the window, the same as you would do with any Windows application.

You can only change the resolution option if you UNCHECK the "run in a window" option. If you're running in a window, we don't care what fullscreen resolution you chose (you're running in a window afterall), and we grey that option out.

Yea there are only presets upto 800 x 600 so i decided to bug report it as it was annoying me, and was told those options were added for people making movies, but im sure there are plenty more wanting a quick way to set the window bigger (and at the right ratio) than capture a movie, without the need for digging into the settings file to set your window size manually

Are you talking fullscreen, or windowed? I'm confused. I run windowed mode at several resolutions, including 1920x1200, and take up the entire screen (maximized) with no problems...

Running in windowed mode, there are only settings in File > Set Window Size for upto 800 x 600, you can always drag you window larger but you never really know if the aspect ratio is going to be correct (and look slightly strange) or you can manually hack it in the settings.ini
