The title says it all. Is it possible to run any of the games (specifically DS2 since that's my favorite) in windowed mode? I like to tab out to other things while playing and fullscreen really puts a damper on that.

Have you tried Fullscreen=False launch option. Might have to add it to the ini file if the command line option doesn't work. I haven't tried it yet myself.

Could you potentially explain that more? I'm not super familiar with editing program files.

Right click on the shortcut and select properties, Under Target you will see the path to DungeonSiege2.exe after the " add FullScreen=False

for example
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Dungeon Siege 2\DungeonSiege2.exe" Fullscreen=False

I tried it and worked for me

What shortcut are you referring to? I normally launch the game through GoG.

Okay, there is a way to add the command line arguments to the gog launcher, sorry I haven't used Galaxy enough to know where to add them. I still use shortcuts on my desktop ahhahaha

Let me see if I can make a shortcut to the game on my desktop and then go from there.

Click on Manage Installation

Clic on Configure

Tick on "Custom executables /arguments"

Duplicate the File 1

Go down and search for the "new file" (File 4)

Add the arguments:

fullscreen=false

Set a custom label like:

Dungeon Siege II Winmode

Clic on "Default Executable"

Clic ok

And then just start the game.

Another idea.

Did anyone try running this game w/ Borderless Gaming program running in the background?

Borderless Gaming program can be grabbed over here:
https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases

Yes! That seems to have done it! Thank you so much!

My post got kind of big. I moved it to here, after finding a... very poor workaround.
