The only way to do this is to run DL in a window, as opposed to full screen.

You can play Dungeon Lords in a window by running the executable using the
command line parameter "dlords -gdi". Playing in this mode will allow you to
switch between applications, however mouselook will no longer work.

If you edit the shortcut, you should change the target to something like

"C:\Program Files\Dreamcatcher\Dungeon Lords\dlords.exe" -gdi

But it only has limited use.

That's a helpful little switch!! Thanks, it's great for testing when I am trying to validate features in my game editor. I did have the same problem with movement that everyone else is. Do you have a listing of other switch for the dlords executable?
Thanks,
Steve
