Running Costume Quest in Windowed Mode

Question

I play a lot of "casual games" (think Diner Dash), and they all feature a way in their in-game options to run the game in windowed mode.

I bought Costume Quest yesterday for PC from Steam, and wanted to run it in windowed mode, however, unlike other games I play, I cannot find a way to tell the game to run in windowed mode.

Is there just a setting I am missing? Or is it something Steam doesn't allow?

Answer 1

You should be able to run Costume Quest in windowed mode by setting launch parameters.

To do that in Steam, open your Steam library, right-click on Costume Quest, select Properties, and press the Set Launch Options… button. Enter –window and click OK. The game will now launch and stay in windowed mode until you remove this from your launch options.
