Re: Game crashing with Alt+Tab

Try another version of the mod, it's video memory resources not freed (or play in window).

Re: Game crashing with Alt+Tab

Hi ! I'm sorry for bothering you again with this problem , but you have to know after playing the game with ENBseries and seeing how amazing it looks with it ,I can't just let it go !
I tried every single one of your ENB with no luck ! V0074 and V0075 are the only versions that working correctly with this game ! but both of them have the Alt+Tab problem in Fullscreen mode !
playing in windowed mode solves the problem completely (as you suggested) ,but a lot of guys (in the community) complaining about it ,because of it's difficulty and disadvantages !
also both SweetFX and FXAAtool working fine ,without this problem, in this game , but as everyone knows they don't have even 10% of ENBseries power !
I'm sure this problem can be fixed ! when it's working fine in windowed mode and not in fullscreen , then there is a function or something in main ENB file that is responsible for this problem !
I'm not asking you to fix this , because I already know that you aren't interested in the old games like this one , I just want you to point me in right direction ! I have both motivation and time to work on it !
I know this is too much to ask , but is it possible to give me the source code of V0075 to work on it ? please ??!
cheers

Re: Game crashing with Alt+Tab

Thanks , but as I said I already tried all ENBseries available (even exclusive versions) ! and actually I'm using the HL2 version right now because I find it the most compatible version with BF2 ! however it still crash with Alt+Tabing ! (I even don't know why this is such a big deal to other guys) :cry:
if you just agree to try fixing this problem (or even help me to do it) , PR (project reality mod) community will support you on it , by all means necessary ! including donations for buying the game and other tools that you need !!
however if you don't have time for working on this game right now , I'll be happy to help you with it ! I already tried tracing back the problem on main dll file with a debugger and find out the whole chains of commands that end up with "TerminateProcess" command line and crashing the game ! but it is almost impossible to fix it in assembly language level ! I really can use your help in there !!
cheers

Re: Game crashing with Alt+Tab

Alt tab problem happen when d3d objects are not released, this can't be found without game running, because if mod work with other games without problem, then only trials and errors method can help. I totally hate eagames, so will never buy any game from this company, i don't see any way to modify the game.

Re: Game crashing with Alt+Tab

I can see why you hate EA so much :D how about using Battlefield:Play4Free instead ! it have the same engine as BF2 !
btw are you using any special tools for debugging ? and one last question , what "DisableThreadLibraryCalls" command do exactly ??! :?:

Re: Game crashing with Alt+Tab

If Battlefield:Play4Free require ea account or any software installing from them, their advertisement, non skipable movies - then no. And i'm sure it is. Also same engine doesn't mean same game, it will not work.

You don't need to buy it, there's a demo you can download.
