Game Windows and Overlay
I've been using this fantastic program since last fall and really appreciate all the time, effort and love the devs here have done with our Isboxer
As someone who naturally gravitated to modding older PC titles many moons ago, I immediately took to this program. Well done!

( I don't expect an answer or help really - more of a hope )
Well my question concerns a very unsupported Sp/Mp game named Grim Dawn - a recent Arpg which is a ton of fun to play. I picked up a second copy ( No Steam DRM) from GoG Galaxy and had hoped for an easy transition to box it. No dice at first - the exe's wont launch independently even for a SP title. So I installed Process Explorer and deleted the "Objects" handle out of the GD exe's memory and voila - full box potential!
Or so I thought. I ran into a hidden cursor issue where it( Grim Dawn's software has a built in mouse cursor) won't diplay no matter how many times:
- I sync all ISboxer resolution layout windows/
- monitor resolution window/or in game "windowed" or "fullscreen windowed" option combinations.
- windows 10 item/text res display scaling ( from 100% to 175% - no dice).
- widescreen plasma 54" at 1920 1083 max op res. With that said it:
- game runs perfectly on it's own with no display cursor issues.
- "Checked" and "unchecked" "Make the Game Believe it is the foreground Window" and "Prevent Isboxer from forcing the game into Windowed mode"/"Disabled vert Sync"
I launch the game easily though - make up teams, and create a Lan through a network Port number. (Launching ISboxer teams per slot enables this which is the only possibility.)
The only real downside is the invisible cursor ( uses outline-targeting for gameplay to get by which is time consuming and tedious). Not really important, but for a sp/mp arpg Grim Dawn is more about the "fun" and not the items. ( which could be modded easily). It's a great little title for it's cheap price and I recommend it.
Thanks for any help if anyone has any ideas on how to find a way past the window overlay /foreground/background issue.No biggies if it's not possible.
