Is there any way to play this in a window? Thanks! :)

Thanks for the info Raze, but unfortunately no matter what I do, it ends up with the game changing my desktop resolution first (a couple of times), then loading the main menu and before it appears, DD returns to desktop while running in the background. I guess I'll be forced to stick to fullscreen mode until I finish the game and move to DD2 which I heard has the windowed mode. Luckily it happens that I'm near the game's end. ;)

For Divinity, it was a technical reason. The way the "pixel engine" worked, talked to your graphics card and used the screen and its resolution, made a windowed version unreleasable/unreliable.

More current gen games often lose performance when run in windowed mode, and allowing windowed mode also often triples the amount of support mails you receive ;)

A game uses so much resources of your computer that the experience of your other desktop apps will become so bad that it is also often not allowed. Or: running desktop apps will take away resources of the game which might again cause issues.

For instance: try alt-tabbing out of old games and sometimes even new games. Old games either didn't allow this, or they crashed. New games allow this thanks to better coding, better Windows/DirectX "support" for such things, and more resources. It's kind of the same, technically speaking.

So yeah, there are technical reasons, but with current gen hardware and well-written code it should be doable. The only thing that's left then, are esthetical reasons and the whole "emerging people in the game world" idea.

When we release our next games, I will propose enabling windowed mode and see what comes out of that discussion ;)

Thanks for the interesting response!

Just wanted to confirm this works.

Was getting fullscreens and black screens, till I loaded Configtool.exe (in the game dir) and just copied the Res in there and matched it to the one in D3DWindower.
