taviow Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 A lot of games have been offering this option along with "Windowed" and "Fullscreen" simply because, well, it rocks in my opinion. I alt-tab a lot while playing games to respond to messages in a variety of programs or answer emails, along with other things, and it makes things for me a lot easier. Well, it's not mandatory and sure, I will survive without it, but I'd like to please ask this to be an option if at all possible to implement at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt516 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Agreed, except I'd say it is mandatory (for a PC game in 2014). I've no beef with the fact that it isn't implemented yet (as this is a Beta), but if it isn't implemented by release (no time for some reason? I have no idea if this is an easy or hard thing to implement) it should be one of the first priorities to patch it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutonizer Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Unity engine folks... 1) Go to Steam page of PoE 2) Right click > Properties > Set launch options 3) put "-popupwindow" (without the ") 4) close and start PoE Done. Edit: Though in-game option might be easier I suppose. Edited September 9, 2014 by mutonizer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip! It should still be an option in the options menu though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensuki Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) However if the solution isn't coded into the game it won't be available for the hard copy or GOG version. I have this problem with Expeditions: Conquistador and the audio fix. It works as a steam startup command but I have the gog version, so gg.

Adding a launch option in Steam only makes Steam pass a command line argument to the game. You can do the same thing by adding -popupwindow to a shortcut pointing to PoE's executable. But an in-game option is obviously the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taviow Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah, I meant it as an in game option. Hopefully it can be done, if not, then I guess the startup command solution will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
