D2 in Window Mode vs Full Screen

[j0k3r]

Does that work without this program?

[UserLoser.]

Yes, you don't need any program except for Diablo II

[j0k3r]

Ah, should've bothered to try that.

Anyways, I'm liking this nontheless, you can skip straight to the bnet log on screen and don't need cd to play.

That's what -skiptobnet does with game.exe.

Is there a way to run  Warcraft 3: TFT in window mode with out a program?

This could have been brought to my attention sooner    The usefulness of this program is deteriorating by the reply... And if you tell me you can play D2 without the CD without the program I'll...

Rabid, adding -w doesn't seem to do anything in War3, maybe someone here will know something else about it though.

[Soul Taker]

It's -window for War3.  And you can play D2 without the CD if you make an iso, which I do with all games since my CD-ROMs are so damn loud.

Skywing, I haven't gotten your program to run with Gunbound, Diablo II, or Half-Life 2. Gunbound won't run (presumably a conflict with its crude anti-hack software), HL2 runs fullscreen, and Diablo crashes before any GUI pops up.

That is because it was not designed for those games, read the readme.

Generally you shouldn't use it with stuff that already natively supports windowed mode, because not all games completely disable their windowed mode support code in fullscreen mode, and it may interfere with patches made by DxWnd.  Also, of course, it probably won't do much/anything with OpenGL games.

Ah. Those are the only fullscreen games I have, short of GTA vice city which I haven't tried the program with yet. And all those programs use DirectX/D3D. I know HL2 comes with windowed mode and so does D2 but I just wanted to test the program.

Joker, it was my understanding that the "Generic Windowed Patcher" attempted to window any dx game, not just those dictated in the readme.

[Meh]

I used the -window command for war3 but it is really slow when playing the game, than if i play full screen. Diablo II works fine. Any ideas why its so slow?
