HD Alt Enter
« on: June 15, 2026, 05:57:40 PM »
How come alt enter doesn't work with the HD version in the channel? It works outside of the channel. If you are in a game lobby/game, you can do it. Once you do it in the lobby/game, if you get out of the game, you're still in the smaller window when you go back into the channel. It's a sort of workaround but if it's possible to make it happen via lobby/game, why can't it work right off the bat in the channel?

because blizzard maked BNE chat messy shit-tons of shit
when you get into channel the actual game itself (the war2) is being hidden and it spawn a bunch of cursed SEPARATE windows
the background area is one window, the actual chat is other, player list another one, banner also
and what is even more fucked up and cursed -> the EVERY fucking BUTTON is also a DIFFERENT window

and HD patch by Fois is heavily using his fixed ddraw.dll but BNE fucking chat not use ddraw
so this is completely uncontrollable bunch of windows
oh and even more funny those cursed windows is not have a descriptor name (all empty) so they cannot be identityfied normally from code

what you mean normal? 640x480?
all of those lobby menus and etc they basically all hardcoded by blizzard into 640x480 so they ofc look normal here
but they cannot be changed to other sizes at all
and fullscreen thing heavily depends on ddraw.dll
there is different versions of ddraw.dll, not all of them can stretch image without bugs
