    The problem you face is not because of the windowed mode, it's lag. I play on windowed mode because PW has a big problem, you can't get to windows if you're on full screen (at least i can't) and if you get dissconnected the game freezes for many minutes till it finally kicks you out, during that time you are unable to do anything but watch that frozen image with your char looking fine but not taking any actions. Also I use MSN and Yahoo messengers so i wanna know when a friend has sent me something.

    Plus in windowed mode you're able to resize the image and make it fit your screen wich is almost like playing on full screen.

    I do know that but still it takes a long time to close, sometimes it doesn't even close untill the message pups up "dissconnected from the server".

    Not to mention that ctrl alt del is not a "healthy" way to close programs...

    Not sure if this is what you mean, or if anyone else even gets the same problem but....

    I play in window mode and unless i move the window up out of the screen slightly (just part of the top bar is fine) it lags fairly bad. Pretty weird really =/

    Maybe try that? Otherwise sorry don't know b:surrender

    I just started with PWI few days ago and automatically slammed on the full screen mode. I played actually some time alt-tabbing to windows and back with absolutely no problems with anything. Later when talking to my friends about it, every single one of them said that they simply couldn't switch to windows when in full screen.

    Haven't tried alt-tabbing out of PWI on this laptop though :P But at least on my main computer it works fine.

    If you have a kickass PC then it should be fine, if you don't.. you would be like the rest of us :P

    Personal preference is window mode. Reason being I tend to look up alot of stuff on the official forum, pwdatabase, and 1perfectworld.com while I play. I cant do without these 3 b:chuckle their invaluable for boss and quest info.

    Actually I tried the same thing with my laptop, alt-tabbing works great there too. And we're not talking about something freshly-purchased, high-speed masterpiece in the whole IT-industry, just some random everyday laptop.

    I wonder if it matters how much things you have going on in the backround? At least I tend to keep my bacround activity minimal (Steam, TS and internet browser normally).

    Hi there,

    I have a problem with Perfect World while playing it on full screen. So let's face it... I'm playing Perfect World on full screen and I want to listen to music on my computer so, I go back to my desktop by pressing the windows button on my keyboard and when the music starts, I go back to the game which is minimized on my task bar. When I am back in the game, the cursor will be different and when I click somewhere in the game, it takes me back out to my desktop. Can anyone please tell me how can I stop this from happening?


    Thank you, Alwiren.

    There a better way with only one button rather than alt+ctrl+tab. Most window keyboard have that keyboard icon button (bottom left of keyboard) that opens the start menu. Also if you have a volume control on your keyboard you can pres that too...Volume thing might only work on Window 7/Vista. IDK about Macb:laughb:victoryb:thanks

    I have too many issues playing this game full screen, esp since I like to tab out during play to check important mail, and the game is only friendly to me when tabbing on windowed mode.
