IS foreground issue.

Post by WarDave » Fri Nov 18, 2005 12:06 am

I have an issue in IS where the first window I launch is sticking to the foreground even with I highlight another window the first one always stays on the top. It didnt do that until I patched today.

The lock foreground box is not checked in the Inner Space Config menu.

I have changed no settings so Im assuming the patch changed something.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

The game is Eve Online and I have different profiles for each window I run. (each window being a different character)

Nevermind I was able to fix it by deleting the folder and reinstalling IS, Guess from now on I will just have auto upgrade disabled.

When Im running one game window and for example one firefox window if I alt tab over to firefox shouldnt it go on top of the game window if I dont have the option check to lock foreground?

There's a bug somewhere that causes some games to go always on top when they should not be. Lock foreground actually has nothing to do with it, this setting is only for emulation -- it would make a game THINK it is foreground.

Instead, issue the command "windowvisibility bottom" in the game's console, then tab back to it.
