CrossOver does not show above games in fullscreen mode
lacymorrow opened this issue · comments
Windows attempts to hide overlays on fullscreen mode, requiring windowed fullscreen to work with CrossOver.
This is indeed a big issue for some apps... Give this a look https://github.com/hiitiger/gelectron
gelectron looks very cool and very similar to what I'm designing, although I'm attempting to make the 'injection' invisible on load and keep this app cross-platform
This may actually be near-impossible for Electron apps without some sort of injection method, and then may be detected by anti-cheat systems. Unless someone wants to investigate using native modules to handle this, it will be a wontfix.

Hi!
Did you already try this : electron/electron#10078 (comment)
This is fixed in the latest version 🙂
I am currently using the 1.0.3 and it's not working with the fullscreen of the game Rust :(
@benjaminaudet What OS?
Try the latest version as I've made a few updates
Windows 10
Still not working with the version 1.0.8 (I built it myself)
Yep, unfortunately this is a limitation of Electron, GPU-accelerated programs (especially Vulkan), and probably anti-cheat systems. It sucks but until someone can offer me a valid cross-platform method of getting above fullscreen windows, I don't plan to ever support it
(because I am not going to write and support a native extension myself)
valid cross-platform method
There can't be valid cross-platform method because of specifics of the problem. It's better to start supporting it for one platform with "not implemented" fallback for other platforms.
Fortnite has updated the way they display as well and is no longer showing in windowed-fullscreen mode either :/
