Getting SEV to run in the background.

Submitted by PyroMancer on Wed, 2006-10-18 04:45. Space Empires V General

How do I get SEV to continue running in the background? When I alt-tab out it seems to "pause" the program. I can alt-tab in and out just fine now with 1.08 no more lossing ICONS. But I want to alt-tab and surf the web while the turn runs like I did in SEIV. Cause the turns take a WHILE and it's BORING sitting there waiting for them. But everytime I alt-tab out during the turn run and alt-tab back in it's on the SAME players turn regardless of how long I wait.

For now, playing in windowed

For now, playing in windowed mode makes you able to run the rounds in the background while doing something else.

Alt-Tab & Windowed Mode

Submitted by Captain Kythorak on Wed, 2006-10-18 08:50.

I can confirm that processing works when alt-tabbed. I am a "Windowed Mode" addict (well, IRC junkie) so if I run a game it's usually in windowed mode where I can keep one eye on IRC and one on the game. SE5 processes turns fine when alt-tabbed out in windowed more. Smiling

Maximized Window

Submitted by Saint_Rukus on Wed, 2006-10-18 12:26.

Since windowed mode seems to be the only answer right now, is there a way to have the window maximized while playing that way? It seems odd that I can't resize the window at all.
