Dark Avatar testing

Started playing DA last night, really a great job.

For some reason I really dig the ship intelligence screen, great idea.

No crashes, but I'm not able to play in windowed mode. I have the newest patch for my GeForce 6800 and am playing in 1280x1024 resolution (matching my desktop) with 32-bit color. I've got a ticket open with Stardock, but if anyone knows a fix I would appreciate it.

The new ship design candy is excellent, I didn't get much actual playing done last night trying out the new features.

I've changed my in-game resolution to 1280x800 and the game runs fine filling 3/4 of my screen, the bottom 1/4 is my desktop, my desktop is still at 1280x1024 resolution.

Is this the windowed mode? I cannot resize the window, though ALT-TAB works fine. This is a different presentation for windowed mode than I am used to, so I just want to confirm whether this is working correctly.

Yes, if the desktop is showing then it's a window. You can't resize it using the borders though, you must specify the size via the game's resolution setting.

Sweet, I'm happy it's not something wrong on my end.

Thanks kyro, I'll try to actually play DA tonight instead of just goofing off in the ship designer.
