X4 6.0HF4: resizing of the game window not possible anymore in window mode - Cannot replicate it.

Post by bitsbytes »

In earlier game versions it was possible to resize the game window to find the optimum position on screen.
This is not possible anymore in window mode, please change it back to the previous behaviour, that we had since years.

Rationale: my screen is organized. I have still 8Gadget pack and such stuff on my Windows deskton.
I want to observe the Gadgets during game play.
So I need to be able to resize the game window, to find the ideal position/sizing, the prepared screen resolutions do not help at all.

Now I have to look for the proper config file and to find the proper size by "trial & error".
Several time the procedure:
- reediting config file
- starting the game, observing, stopping the game

This is taking much time, I would like to get the old behaviour back, where it was possible to resize the screen of the running game.
It was much quicker, more user friendly / intuitive and did not burn so much time unnecessary.

Nothing has been changed in this area. I just tested and was able to resize the game window.

Thanks for your reply. Today resizing worked for me as well without issues.

Can be closed, not reproduceable on my system anymore.
Same system, nothing was changed.
Assumption: maybe the difference was the reboot today.

When I tested yesterday a couple of times (4-5x) I only restarted the game several times (cloud platform GOG).
As this was the 1st time that such thing happened in the last years and I just performed the upgrade to 6.0 HF4 I thought it was due to the update.
