Doctor Destiny Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Lost my account from a decade ago but anyway, I found an old copy of D2K I had laying around. It's portable and I'm sure it's the latest version of the game. I have it running on Windows 7 x64 without any trouble but I want to play it in a window rather than full screen since it's stretched. I use DxWND to force games into a window but it's not working no matter what combination of options I choose. Is anyone around here familiar with DxWND and can tell me what to do? If I need a different source of the game, that's fine too. Just point me in the right direction and I'll go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Destiny Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 I don't play anything full screen anymore. I do a lot of multitasking so a full screen window interrupts that, which is why I want it windowed. That and I don't like it stretched. I can live with a small resolution, but not while it's stretched. Actually, I play Zero Hour in a window and I have no trouble finding any units. Same with Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2.

Doctor Destiny Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 I don't think I really need a patch since DxWND does exactly what I need it to do, which is become a window. I'm sure just not sure of the particulars behind the game's engine. If I could get some more information on that like DirectX version, whether it uses GDI, etc, I could run from there.

THE AQIB Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 well dune2k was built on basic code and has a completely different stuff thn the later cnc games... hence no window mode nor anyone tried making one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing that can be done to change that without modding the main executable (dune2000.dat). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
