3. Start the game.

* If border is activated, you can resize the window with the mouse

I don't know if is so much if you can do a version without the coords manager since I didn't install it and it's annoying toggle the menu to off everytime I start the game, I hope this doesn't bother you.

Actually these settings are stored in the ini, so once you pressed Shift-Enter and hid the menu, it shouldn't appear at startup next time.

Ini? It seems I don't have any ini related to this mod on my game folder (In this case GTA III), how is supposed to be the name of the ini file?

Looks like noone else has problems with it.

 

Please, I still want to know your thoughts about it. If this error tells you something, can you at least point me where to look for a possible cause?

 

But... I'm getting a crash as soon as gameplay loads if skygfx is used :(

Well, I tried already and I don't have any ini. :/ Can you share your ini file?

[MAIN]ShowMenu = 0

But... I'm getting a crash as soon as gameplay loads if skygfx is used :(

Crash stops if I remove this or skygfx. I havent found any settings in skygfx that could cause this.

I tested it with skygfx, worked fine for me. Maybe it's a specific setting in skygfx that causes the crash? Try to figure out what it is. Edited by ThirteenAG

Found! These settings are guilty

 

colorFilter=0

doRadiosity=1

 

Should I contact The Hero?

 

Also. I forced V-sync everywhere but in borderless fullscreen I'm getting very strong tearing :( Can something be done with it?

I can confirm that changing colorFilter to either 1 or 3 works around the crash. Options 0 (PS2 colorfilter) and 2 (Mobile-attempt colorfilter) crash the game in combination with this windowed mode mod. Great mod anyways. :)

It's quite possible skygfx is making some invalid assumptions too, might not be a bug of this mod.

Vice City throws unhandled exceptions seemingly at random with this mod as demonstrated in this video (I also show the other scripts that I have installed).

 

Edit: Never mind. The wndmode.ini method works perfectly.
