I think you may have the wrong game. Steel Empire was released in 2018 and was a port of a 3DS game. It definitely never existed in 2002 or 2004. https://store.steampowered.com/app/563260/Steel_Empire/

I've tried hooking OGL - nothing changes. What has changed is I've changed DPI scaling in the app's compatibility settings. Now I just get the window and can see the rest of my desktop. This is the case regardless of what I do in DxWnd (X, Y coords, desktop,etc). I haven't yet figured out the settings that will expand the window to fill the desktop.

My settings are as follows - and this is the game's folder. Does this indicate the API in use?

Steel Empire is a really obnoxious game in terms of its window behaviour. By default it resizes your desktop to some horribly low resolution, and forces itself to the front at all times. Using DxWnd, I can at least prevent the first issue, but would it be possible to scale to fit the screen? Also, can DxWnd do anything about the second and block the app's attempts to force itself to the front? Thanks!

This works great. Thanks!

Hello, Can anyone advise on using DxWnd to scale Wetrix to full screen? The game runs fine from DxWnd, but it doesn't scale. I have selected the GDI option 'scale calls' but it doesn't help (I believe this is a GDI game). Thanks!

Didn't help.

I'm trying to follow this thread but having trouble. I am running Heretic 2 with the Enhancement Pack 1.07, and DxWnd. Whenever I load any save, the game crashes. This happens even if I first load into the training level, which according to PCGW is a workaround, but doesn't work for me. Can anyone advise? Is there any way to get save loading working?
