Does anyone know a method to make games, that don't support windowed mode, go into windowed? I'm talking about games, which don't go windowed either if you press F11, Alt+Enter and ones that don't have a windowed option in the settings. Does anyone know how to do this? Games like these for example are Assassin's Creed 4, and I'd like to be able to both keep an eye on the code dissection AND the game, not just one at a time.

Create a shortcut for the target exe, right-click the shortcut and select 'properties'. Under the shortcut tab, add this at the end of the target location: -win

Here is an example:

I actually tried these 2 methods on ACIV, but none worked

[++METHOS]

Yes, no guarantees. I believe ACIV has yet to release an update for windowed support - assuming they ever do. Running multiple monitors helps, but it's still a pain.

[kik4444]

Well, so far I'm sure that IF a game supported those 2 options, they'd also support F11 and Alt+Enter. Well thanks for your answer anyway.

@++METHOS: the following patch prevents fullscreen dx9 games from minimizing when you alt+tab. It should make dualscreen hacking easier, at least that what I use.

[++METHOS]

At Gniarf: That's interesting.

In fact, I was coming back here to edit my reply to add that members like Gniarf or Steve Andrew could probably find a workaround...a few others, also, if they were so inclined.

I wonder if a similar patch can be used for dx10?

[Gniarf]

Most likely you can do the same for dx10/11, it all boils down to finding what calls user32.ChangeDisplaySettings(Ex)A/W when you tab out and nopping this function or one of its parents.

I have used D3DWindower for some games.

Probably won't work with AC4 though. But you can try.
