Windows 10 + CoD2MPWindowed = Win

[kung foo man]

Yo, not much time, just this: https://github.com/Si13n7/CoD2MPWindowed

Basically it wraps CoD2 as child in a form and updates the Window Rect of CoD2, really useful for modding etc.

The Win32 API before Win 10 doesn't support this so well, but the code has a fallback mechanism for it.

To quote the readme on this:

It's very simple for Windows 10. I was really wondering but it's enough to create a form application and change the parent of the game. Then you only have to handle the resize functions for great flexibility.

The fix is similiar for older Windows versions. But before we can do that we have to change 2 bytes in 'gfx_d3d_mp_x86_s.dll' to force windowed mode.

To install, just download this file in your CoD2 folder: https://github.com/Si13n7/CoD2MPWind...n/CoD2MP_w.exe

I always wondered why people would play in window mode and not full screen?

For easy alt tabing. You can delete the frame with Borderless Gaming Software.

Less time spent alt-tabbing

[Ni3ls]

But why would you alt-tab?

[Whiskas]

Chatting.

Also I had always problems with streaming old games (video lags). Window Mode was always a sollution.

Did anybody manage to do this? Not working for me

[IzNoGoD]

Are you using windows 10?

[Ni3ls]

Yes and cod2 1.0.

Can you define "not working for me"?
