Using compatibility mode to switch to full screen Soldat
« on: June 23, 2006, 12:58:45 pm »
I apologize because my crap english.  :(

I don't know if somebody have post this before.

I suggest Michal that people that want to play Soldat in 640x480 mode don't use full screen option in Setup.

In XP it's really better using compatibility mode in properties of shorcut of Soldat.

I't's more quick.

This information could be in Soldat's manual.  :)

You mean the "Run in 640 x 480 resolution" check box under the Compatibily Tab (for the English Windows, your's means the same thing)? It's been pointed out before, but not suggested in this way. Supported, even if I don't use full screen.

Oh it does indeed seem to be a lot quicker and less jerky to alt-tab when you run soldat with that compatibility mode checked on.

Thanks a lot for the tip Tallacaps!

right click the soldat.exe and click properties than go to compatibility and tick the 'Run in 640 x 480 resolution' option
This makes the resolution of your monitor 640 x 480 while playing soldat and thus makes switching windows easier for some reason which i'm not sure about :p
