    • Can the Mac version run in a window mode?

      8 12 396

      It seems the Windows version of Uplink can either run in full screen or inside a window. Could the Mac version do that? (or if it can already do it, how)
      (since it's supposed to be a feature for feature and bug for bugs port)

      That would allow Mac players with multiple monitors to actually use the multimonitor option.

      Thanks in advance.

    • SlaVitiCkus, did it ever run in full screen at some point or did it always run inside a window? are you using MacOS X or MacOS 9?

      ------------------

    • ok... crash course me in MacOS 😉 never used it, i aint clever enough. but can you add commands to shortcuts of progs? if so, add -graphics_fullscreen to it... if not, there SHOULD be an option in the MAIN menu somewhere (im pretty sure...)

      soz if this dont help :frown:

    • I don't think full screen works in the OS9 version. It never worked for me, even if I try to change the setting in options. I'd like to try it in full screen, though...

    • Oh I see. I'm using MacOS X 10.2.x and it's in full screen mode with apparently no options to be in window mode.

    • There is a full screen option (not selecting this should make it run in a window) in the Options->Graphic Options menu in the game. 🙂

    • I wonder if it's possible to start Uplink from the Terminal? If so, I've heard that -graphics_fullscreen is the flag for running windowed.

    • Fullscreen doesn't seem to work in OS9. Which kind of sucks, because it would probably be faster that way on my old machine.

    • Full Screen will only work if your chosen resolution (in Uplink) matches that of your computer. I'm pretty sure this is how it works, as I've been messing with it a bit. For while I was stuck in window mode EVEN with full screen checked in OS X. I think the resolution can be a little smaller, but not bigger than your screen's.
