I play on a laptop with a 1366x768 resolution, and it really bothers me that I can not resize the launcher by mousing over the edge of the window. I must play in full screen mode in order to access any of the menus at the bottom of the launcher window. This is the only peeve I have with the game. Please implement this option!

Keep up the good work!

I believe this is set by the system.cfg file in your MW:O directory.

Look at r_width & r_height. I haven't tested against this version, but in a previous version those fields would alter the launcher/mechlab dimension.

Thanks, I will try this. Would still be nice to resize it just as if it was any other window though. :D

Edit: This does work to change the launcher size at the log in.... but not past it... once I am logged in, it goes back to the default window size.

Sorry to hear that didn't help. Have you tried emailing support@mwomercs.com

Be warned -- they seem to have regular weekday work hours, so if you email now your reply won't come till next week sometime.

No. I thought it might be better to post this in the suggestion forum since it is a feature that is not implemented into the game. This is not a support issue.

Disagree. It's a beta, and you are by definition a beta tester (and a paying customer, by the looks of your tag). Also, you are running a resolution that probably doesn't get much testing from the dev's.

Worst that can happen is they tell you "no dice." But I've found them to be pretty helpful so far.

I have the same issue, had to turn on windows taskbar auto-hide function in order to see how many cash I have :/ Would be great to at least have the option to maximize windowed mode so it will align with the taskbar.

Devs please if you have a spare minute look at it, most mid-core laptops run on this resolution. Thanks

This issue has still received no attention, nor has it been confirmed that the window will be resizeable.

Does anyone know of a way to change the size of the window before you launch into the game? I still can't see the bottom options of the window with my task bar in the way. (Yeah, I could auto hide the task bar every time I want to play MWO - but that is highly inconvenient.)

Don't worry, it is coming in UI 3.0.
