RaPriest: By default GOG makes run dos games full screen. That is "brilliant" decision, since 640x480 stretched to 16x9 FullHD are literally unplayable (I dont even talk about 2k, 4k displays).

But previously we could go to dosbox folder and run GOGDOSConfig.exe - which is really nice UI tool for dosbox configuration, and set windowed mode with whatever resolution and scaling we want.

Not anymore. Now it throws "Run DOSbox Configurator from Start Menu" error. Why GOG people decided to restrict users and make their experience worse is beyond me.

But ok. I went to Start menu, scrolled through dozens position, looking for Master of Magic folder. Found it. And guess what?
There is no Dosbox Configurator shortcut! There is no way run dos config util for Master Of Magic.

So all in all, GOG forced game to run in full screen by default (which is barely playable for most users, I assume) AND forbid to use their own configuration utility so I had to edit config file manually.
I had better experience playing DOS games 15 years ago using d-fend.

What frustrated me most, that couple years ago everything was almost perfect with GOG and dos games, and now It became clunky and bothersome for no reason. Did they literally put effort to make user experience worse?
WHY?!
Am I missing something obvious?

Seravy2: ALT-ENTER turns off fullscreen. If you want to make it permanent, you have to edit the dosbox config file though.

Seravy2: Try changing fullresolution=desktop to fullresolution=1024x768 in the dosboxmom.conf file, it's the third option from the top.
If that doesn't work, Scaler=normal3x should be better than 2x. It's only 960*600 but that's still a lot better than 640*400.

CommonOddity: Yeah, I've just downloaded Clash from Longstone and I've been itching to play it. I tried running gogdosconfig.exe to generate the configuration file but it failed, each time. I get the same error. "run dosbox configurator from start menu".

If this was previously available but now it's not, I don't understand why this functionality was restricted.
