Quick questions about getting a game to behave in the manner I would prefer.
« on: July 18, 2015, 10:47:44 pm »
So thanks to GoG helping kickstart me into a nostalgia trip, I've been playing Chaos gate lately, that works fine and it's not the core of this post however!

While I could get chaos gate running wonderfully in a window, scaled up so I don't need a magnifying glass to play. I can't seem to do the same to Final liberation at all! It's like DXwind doesn't grab onto it so I gotta play it in awkward bordered no alt-tabbable fullscreen.

Anyone have experience using DXwind or similar programs on this game? This is a bit flustering. Was really looking forward to smashing some orks with Baneblades and artillery and shit again.

Diamonds are combustable, because they are made of Carbon.

You could look around for some ports or fan patches, those might help.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Isn't GoG supposed to provide support or your money back?

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

I think there is support, just only for fullscreen.

Late response since well I forgot I posted this .V

Yeah I can run the game fine, just that it forces itself into fullscreen. I tend to prefer keeping the rest of my OS visible since I don't like missing people coming online and other such things because I'm just playing a game. And I was wondering if anyone else had experience getting something like dxwind to behave with it.

So far no luck finding anything out on my end
