Fullscreen script (Dual Screen & Single Screen)

[tatsu]

anyone still have Process.exe under System32 since I've been on linux for so long I haven't been using this as much but I just realized that link I gave is dead. and I googled to no avail.

so if one of you who didn't reinstall their system in the meantime and thus still has it could drop theirs 7ziped to a google drive or something and share the link to me that would be nice. I'd like for people to keep using this.

Whats this System32 thing you're talking about? :p

I made a script 4 years ago for windows, it highly optimized the game and allowed better dual screen (and above dual) support.

this thread is that script's thread. in the Opening Post I gave the instructions, you can read up. "Process.exe" is a windows binary that allows "soft" control over the windows processes, in this case changing a running process's thread afinity and also priority ...all without the need for administrator priveleges. real handy. bundled with a AutoHotkey script that runs silently in the background, I made a watcher for an FA process that immediately sets FA to "fake fullscreen", high priority and removes afinity of the process to the first cpu thread.

which really works for FA on FAF given FA is constantly stopping and starting, for each game you play.

Process.exe is really old and archaic, I guess it can't be helped that the website that hosted it didn't continue to do so / broke down.

I'm too lazy for finding an alternative, I'm pretty sure the only reason this particular binary was able to do this without admin priveledges was because it was made by microsoft. and they don't pack it with windows anymore because that's a specific need and likely also because this file is a bit powerfull in the wrong hands. Or maybe I'm just imagining that last bit I don't know.

Anyways this is all for windows not linux, on linux fakefullscreening and the rest is something I haven't been able to figure out how to do. it's probably possible. and this time the hard part would be the window resizing considering it's a wine viewport we're working with.


btw I did get the joke.

Hi,

Thanks for this script, it work perfectly for one monitor.

I have two monitors (1680 * 1050 - 16/10), which parameters need the script ?
I try 3360, 1050 but not good.

Thanks in advance

Some of the posts in this thread indicated peopl use borderless windowed fullscreen and then "stretch" it across two screens. What does that look like? Is it just one wide window or do they act like two separate windows? Can you have one screen zoomed out to tactical view and another zoomed in?

Yes, it's literally the same thing as dual fullscreen but with lots of extra goodies and advantages.

Great! How do you "stretch" the game? Does it work on two different sized screens?
