Is there a way to prevent a windows standalone app from dropping out of full screen mode? (Alt+Enter) is OK. The problem is that our game must run in full screen mode and pop ups in the background like “Reminders to activate…” and such cause the game to drop down to windowed mode requiring the user to press Alt+Enter in order to go back to full screen. I would prefer that the game only drops out of full screen if I specifically tell it to or if the user presses Alt+Enter.
I tried adding a check into update for if the game is not in full screen but should be, set it back to full screen. This kind of worked, but made it so that if you do a ctrl+alt+delete, you can’t get to the task manager because the game pops back into full screen. There is also a very noticeable duration of black screen using this method.
Another thing I tried was to run the game with the -popupwindow -screen-width -screen-height args, hoping that I could “fake” full screen. This method did make it so that background application popups would not disturb the game, but with the screen-width and height set to the same resolution as the display, the game opens up in a smaller window not quite full screen. Setting the resolution in game had no effect.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
