Played with it a little last night. It feels sorta buggy sitll.<br><br>Once you're in the game, you can press ALT+ENTER to go to a window.<br>While in Windowed mode, you hold ALT for 2 seconds and release to "unlock" the mouse.<br><br>This of course causes lots of "unlocking" problems if you use the ALT key normally in your lineup. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Also, it seems that the video mode in full screen is automatically set to your desktop resolution, and changing the video resolution only applies to the Windowed mode.<br><br>Hopefully they'll make the "unlock mouse" key opitonal, and fix it so that you can change the resolution in windowed mode, as well as full screen mode. On the plus side, it did seem to run quite smoothly in windowed mode. <p><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=59365" target="top">Kathodos</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - Battle Cleric of Tunare - Tholuxe Paells<!--EZCODE BR START-->
