I know that in Windows 10+ and on UWP apps, requesting a fullscreen swapchain straight up crashes and tells you "nope, you're going to go through the compositor".
But yes, alt-tabbing Source games was an exercise in patience.
- rafram 4y agoIs that disabled for programs targeting older OS versions? Or are you saying that the new behavior is only for UWP apps? Because that sounds like it would break a lot of old code.
- ohgodplsno 4y agoSorry, hadn't seen that response: yes, it's only when you opt in to UWP that it causes crashes. However, even if you didn't, Windows lies to you. If you ask for FSE (Full Screen Exclusive), it'll say alright buddy, and give you a Full screen that goes through DWM. I believe they have an article on that somewhere on the direct X blog called full screen optimizations, or something along those lines, that explains it.
