Civ V windowed instead of fullscreen

[Zarthushtr]

Hello

Is there a way of running Civ V in a window instead of full screen.

After all, I have a life and I would like to know what's on going on in my other lines of work.

At this moment in time, the only option I have is Civ V OR my other stuff.

Thanks.

It`s possible. It`s somewhere in the INI file in my documents/my games/Sid Meier`s Civilization V.

In GraphicsSettingsDX9 there is


..............................................................................................

[UserSettings]

MSAASamples = 1

WaitForVSync = 1

FullScreen = 1

FSResID = 18

WindowResX = 1280

WindowResY = 1024


..............................................................................................
Change FullScreen = 1 to

FullScreen = 0

This should work.

You can find it in game through the options menu then graphics, or whatever that tab is named. There's a box marked "fullscreen". Uncheck it. Much easier.
