He's probably trying to play it on a too small screen. My guess is a laptop 15''. Try on a bigger one or play fullscreen

i dont understand how people can really play in windowed mode. Whenever i try it i find myself missing things like drops etc because the window is just small, and things in the desktop behind it distract me. In my opinion windowed mode is fine for a semi-afk game like wow, but sc? you need to be immersed in the game to play to your potential

Hi fellow TLers......

I bump this and I have a good reason.

I have the same problem as tasoulis12, when I dont use alt+f9 it is too small, but when I use it it becomes too big, its size increases up and down, but not left and right.

MasterofChaos provided the solution for tasoulis12, and he managed to get it working by deleting the wmode.ini file. However, I did that and it is still the same, like nothing at all.

This is my screen without alt+f9

And this is with alt+f9

I really want to play this game...well at least Im thankful the colours are ok = /

Appreciate any help, thanks for the help. I hope I didnt do anything wrong.

Thank you.

Scroll down and look for 2Pacalypse's response. It makes it so your fullscreen on window mode.

Thanks for quick reply.

Yes, I have seen that but it requires you to do the 640x480 resolution, which stuffs up all my desktop shortcuts : (

So, I take it there is no other way except to use 640x480 resolution? Wow, I tried doing that and now "RT" error pops up when I try launching Chaos in 640x480.

SIgh...I guess I just have to play in small mode T_T

Last post here, just want to ask, is 640 480 the only way? Making sure so I know the answer.

Thank you in advance.

I know everyone likes their computer set up differently, but what do you need desktop shortcuts for?

If that's your only problem with the 640x480 solution I would recommend getting a mac style tool bar like object dock and sticking everything useful up there and delete everything else. I hate desktop shortcuts just look too messy for me.

I understand you might have a valid reason for having lots of shortcut icons or you might just prefer that to Mac a style dropdown thingy. But it would at least solve you're problem if in a rather round about way admittedly.

Sorry for necroing this post, but is there a way to get Fraps to work with this program? I can use Fraps to record Starcraft normally, but if I use Chaoslauncher to start the game, Fraps won't record.

I saw at the bottom of the W-Mode page on Liquipedia that "Using w-mode helps when recording StarCraft videos - It avoids the strange colour problems that can sometimes effect normal recordings." Does anyone happen to know how to get a recorder to work with this Launcher?

xsplit works. People used to use camtasia with sc. Recording with sc in window mode is nice because it is easier to use overlays and other functionality, since you don't have to tab sc and ruin the recording.

Any program that lets you define the x y co ordinates of where to record on you screen should work... Which to be honest should be every recording program, but I've never used fraps.

you can use OBS as well, free and awesome (auto finds the windows and records their inner or outer+inner parts even if you put other windows on top); I don't think many people are still using fraps
