WAR minimizes to Taskbar on Launch

Post#1 » Mon Apr 06, 2020 7:22 pm

I'm running into a weird issue where game minimizes to my taskbar on launch and I'm unable to bring it to focus.

Details:

1) Downloaded Launcher via Torrent link and installed DX9.
2) Launched RoRLauncher.exe
3) Login and download updates
4) Hit connect and see WAR.exe launch
5) I get a black screen and indications that it is changing resolution and hear the theme music (2 monitor set up)
6) WAR goes to the taskbar
7) Clicking on WAR on the taskbar tries to bring it to the foreground (music plays, resolution switch attempted) then it drops right back to the taskbar

System Info:
Intel i7 8700K
32GB RAM
RTX2080
Dual Monitors (1440P and 1080P)

Troubleshooting:
1) Changed password to include only numbers and letters
2) Added Windows FW exceptions for Launcher and WAR
3) Re-started Launcher
4) Copied d3dx9_34.dll to WAR directory


Any suggestions on where to proceed from here?

Can you change your settings from Fullscreen to Windowed and try that?
