Freelancer Windowed with no "freezing" - Aurigae - 09-25-2010
As you lot know, you can run Freelancer in window mode. But there's a problem of that if you switch to another window the screen in freelancer.exe "freezes" until you make it active again.
I hear there's some software availible that "updates" what's happening on screen.
Is it true and if yes, share please? Would be pretty handy.

I know this happens in windowed mode, but I never heard of this "software" you're talking about. Anyone?

I think someone found a DirectX windower program which did this.

Slow lagnom is slow.
Since I found that in the search, sharing with everyone again.

1. Download Direct3D Windower

2. Click the plus button to add freelancer.exe
3. Click the settings tab
4. Click "foreground control" tab
5. Check "Enable foreground control"
6. Click "Run Program" (not enable emultaion)
7. Don't quit Direct3D Windower while ingame! biggrin.gif
Stuff quoted above is tested and works fine.

Just a little note. This program doesn't work under Windows 7.

Doesn't work for me.
Edit: Guess you beat me too it.:P

XP over here. Yeh, didn't think about compability issue.
Any Vista users who can check that, too?
Freelancer Windowed with no "freezing" - Cond0r - 09-25-2010
It works on Vista. I've tried it on all three of those systems.

To those who can't get it to work, I couldn't get it either, but try copying the D3dhook dll into the freelancer/exe folder...
Made it work for me..

You made it work on Win 7?
