Vagablonde Ouruboros Trading	Posted - 2008.06.04 02:16:00 - [91] i play all my games in window mode, as I am never just playing a game when at my pc :P ________________ the way back home is always long, but if you're close to me i'm holding on.
Tiirae The New Era HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.06.04 03:37:00 - [92] You guys are all pussies. I play Eve on an inkjet printer. True, I only get about 12 frames a minute, but you hardly notice in most fleet fights these days. This does mean I'm limited to the classic graphics, as my printer doesn't support shader model 3. HP suck not releasing updated drivers for that :(
Mankirks Wife	Posted - 2008.06.04 03:44:00 - [93] Eve has a fullscreen mode?
Mara Rinn	Posted - 2008.06.04 04:18:00 - [94] Edited by: Mara Rinn on 04/06/2008 04:19:23 Fullscreen for me. When I need to do other stuff, I move the mouse off the right side of the screen, at which point it starts controlling my laptop where I have my active web browser and IM clients. Why go to windowed mode, and then set the window to cover the whole screen? What advantage does this buy you? edit: For my Mac using brothers and sisters - you can put EVE into windowed mode by pressing Command+Enter.

Wideen Contraband Inc.	Posted - 2008.06.04 06:47:00 - [96] Originally by: Akita T Me, it's always windowed mode, as wide as the screen, but slightly smaller on the vertical. Still, I see a lot of people talking about "alt-tabbing out of EVE" and such... so I wondered, how many of you still (for some unknown, obscure reason) play EVE in fullscreen instead of the much more practical windowed mode ? And if you do play fullscreen... why ? I got better fps like that than in window mode, which is strange
Tactus Hidden Agenda Deep Space Engineering	Posted - 2008.06.04 07:00:00 - [97] i play eve on fullscreen at desktop and laptop because i don't seem to have enough pixels (1440x900) for UI w/chats, etc. AND the vastness of space (maximized via a quick ctrl-tab). i dig the vastness of space. also, i am a rabid alt-tabber in general. i regularly shift-alt-tab. why has no one mentioned eve launcher yet? ________________________________________________ Originally by: Raivi ...but if spending all your imaginary money on an imaginary spaceship with a camo paintjob is wrong then I don't want to be right.
Kuolematon Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United	Posted - 2008.06.04 08:58:00 - [98] Originally by: floggar Originally by: Le Skunk oh god. another AKITA T "why im right" mega thread. Whats next - WHY IM RIGHT TO HAVE MY SPEAKERS VOLUME SET TO 6, AND WHY YOU ARE WRONG TO HAVE IT SET TO ANYTHING ELSE SKUNK exactly what I was thinking. Akita T= most arrogant poster in eve. +1 totally "The Amarr are the tanking and ganking floating rods of ~~gold~~crap"
Sirial Soulfly	Posted - 2008.06.04 09:13:00 - [99] Full screen only as eve crashes when playing windowed. Since I use premium that is =/, could play eve windowed fine on classic.
Dantes Revenge	Posted - 2008.06.04 10:42:00 - [100] Full screen as I play my multiple accounts on different PC's. I seem to get better FPS on full screen and far less client side lag.

What advantage does this buy you? Alt-tabbing doesn't switch graphics modes so it's instant. Since I'm running the mac client, I don't have this problem… thus, fullscreen all the way (+ second computer for looking stuff up)
Andrue	Posted - 2008.06.04 12:16:00 - [102] Originally by: Mattikus Originally by: Kagura Nikon Full screen ALWAYS. video card drivers are MASSIVELLY optimized towards full screen operation. Agreed. I never ever ever play a game unless its fullscreen. You got these guys on here crying, ***in and whining there they get bad frames and this and that...well have they ever thought it could be due to the fact that they are not playing in Fullscreen mode? Besides...alt-tabbing in and out of eve is just milisecond wait time so Im not bothered by it. That certainly used to be the case but in my tests there's been little or no difference in framerates for several years. Personally I prefer to run fullscreen but I can't really say why. It just seems right to me. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom". You have been warned.**
Andrue	Posted - 2008.06.04 12:18:00 - [103] Originally by: Tonto Auri Originally by: Hugh Ruka BTW alt-tabing is the easiest way to switch applications Lie. Easiest way to switch between applications - is to right-click to the other desktop. Litestep WVM ftw! I prefer Alt+Esc -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom". You have been warned.
AlleyKat White-Noise Atrum Tempestas Foedus	Posted - 2008.06.04 12:23:00 - [104] Full screen 1920x1200, 24" 'panel, 16xFSAA+HDR - why? Because it looks amazing. EVE-ONLINE VIDEO-MAKING TUTORIALS
Thenoran Knights of MADD	Posted - 2008.06.04 12:37:00 - [105] Windowed & Trinity sadly don't work well together on my comp, so fullscreen. ------------------------ Mining over 4000m3 per cycle...with a Rokh
Sathenu	Posted - 2008.06.04 12:52:00 - [106] Edited by: Sathenu on 04/06/2008 12:53:33 Windows 1280 x 960 17" Sony LCD Edit: set to 960 and not 1024 as it doesn't cover the taskbar Why? I browse the net, watch dvd's all without alt-tabbing away from the screen...
Javiir Soban Amarrian Religious Reformation Society Exalted	Posted - 2008.06.04 14:08:00 - [107] Full screen, I have my laptop by my computer so I use it for my second account/browsing/etc while my main rig is running my primary char. --- --- --- --- --- My views don't reflect those of my corporation, and definitely not those of my alliance as I don't have an alliance :p .
Tonto Auri Vhero' Multipurpose Corp	Posted - 2008.06.04 22:05:00 - [108] Originally by: Amalath Tari I use fullscreen on my 1440 x 900 px MacBook Pro. No option for windowed mode support that I'm aware of. Plus, the only other thing I might be running at the time is vent, which I can run in the background anyway. You can set any resolution by editind pc.dat. Originally by: Mankirks Wife Eve has a fullscreen mode? -- Thanks CCP for cu
Pang Grohl Sudo Corp	Posted - 2008.06.04 23:11:00 - [109] Originally by: Avon Originally by: Akita T Me, it's always windowed mode, as wide as the screen, but slightly smaller on the vertical. Still, I see a lot of people talking about "alt-tabbing out of EVE" and such... so I wondered, how many of you still (for some unknown, obscure reason) play EVE in fullscreen instead of the much more practical windowed mode ? And if you do play fullscreen... why ? Windowed mode is only more practical if you are short on PC's. I play fullscreen because I can, with no need to compromise, unlike you. See, that is how you do arrogance. Weak. I send my idle body servants play my alt accounts when I desire it. They play full screen, because that's how I prefer it. The preceeding exaggeration has been brought to you by too much caffeine combined with excessive triviality at the office. I have neither body servants or alt accounts for them to play for me The full screen preference, however, is true. *** Si non adjuvas, noces (If you're not helping, you're hurting)
Agillious Inner Circle Helter-Skelter	Posted - 2008.06.04 23:53:00 - [110] Another full-screen vote. The only thing I'd consider windowing my EVE for is widescreen. I want a widescreen LCD like McCain wishes Hillary won the nomination. MORE SHINY, PLEASE!!!
ceyriot Induseng Enterprises R0ADKILL	Posted - 2008.06.05 00:07:00 - [111] Personally...this is kinda weird, but it works and works well... I use full screen on my main (this char) almost all the time, except when I'm running an op with my alt at the same time...And for the alt, he's windowed so I can distinguish between the two when alt-tabbing between a few programs.
