Please modify the graphics configuration file in order to run Cities XL in windowed mode:

1. Open the folder Cities XL Platinum located on the hard disk.
2. The default path is the Local Disk (C:), Program Files or Program Files (x86), Steam, SteamApps then Common.
3. Open the folder Data then the folder Config.
4. Right click the file GlobalSettings.cfg and click Edit or open the file using the Notepad.
5. Go to <Application>.
6. Set Win32FullScreen to 0:

<Win32FullScreen>0</Win32FullScreen>

7. Save the file GlobalSettings.cfg and run the game.

As soon as you experience major slowdowns with your city, please save your city then quit the game (go back to the main menu) and reload your city.
