EHM Early Release Questions

Haven't played EHM 07 in a while so I forget how to do any of these things and/or navigate this website worth a darn. I just went around in circles for 30 minutes and found absolutely nothing I was looking for.

-I found the updated roster but don't know where to move the file

-I don't remember how to stop EHM from going full screen and not allow me to browse the internet while playing/simming.

These are my two major issues right now, can anyone help a noob out :help:

I figured out the roster part! :oops:

The full screen mode is killing me though. It makes my computer useless while I sim.

The Readme file included with the roster update explains step-by-step how to install it. It has screenshots too.

That's exactly what you need to do.

If I knew how to do it, I would have done that :(

my laptop says the max is 1366x768 but it's the same laptop I use to have windowed EHM 07 on, I just don't remember how to do it.

I'm going to high-hack this thread and ask you (archi) to implement the option of changing the size of the window in windowed mode, either that or give us a few set choices of the size, i find this one to be a bit too small...

Looks like ur problem is that your resolution setting in windows is too small, just change it and it should be fine?

You could try making a shortcut to EHM and use the small_screen option.

Here's how to make a shortcut: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 13&t=13583
Here's how to add the small_screen option: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 656#p90656

This worked for EHM 2007, but I haven't tried this with EHM:EA.

I think it's too ambitious for the Early Access game because I would imagine it would leave little time to add anything else. But I completely agree - I'd like to see some wide screen resolution should the game return on a permanent basis (and IIRC this is something I've already suggested to Riz).

You guys assume that I (or any user) have what is probably basic computer knowledge for you :-p I right click the EHM shortcut but I don't see .exe anywhere. '.exe' means absolutely nothing to me so I have no clue what I'm looking for when he says 'Just rightclick on the shortcut to EHM, and there after the .exe" you paste this line'

Got a question for you, does tactics training do anything in EHM:EA? Sorry if you answered this in the news post or the preview, just scimmed through :P

Fair enough. I think I'm more interested in refreshing the community hub to see the in game numbers haha. Hoping it hits the 1,000s and more!
