remote desktop and PWI

geochris

So I was hoping to have PWI running on my desktop and then periodically check on my catshop or do some other small changes/commands from laptop when I am away from my desktop. I was able to remotely connect to my desktop, however when I click on my PWI program the game screen is black.

Is there a way to get around the black screen and see what my catshop is doing?

I remotely connected using the standard remote desktop program that comes with windows.

Thanks

works rly well for me, I can even log from my phone/pad.
I've been using it for a few months and im rly pleased with it. Ofc it will cost you a monthly fee, but well worth it imo..

See below; if this doesn't work then no idea.

You can actually 'unfreeze' the client without modifying anything and without any third party **** like cheat engine.

1) Make a shortcut to elementclient.exe
2) Click properties on it
3) Edit target to add arguments like this:
C:\<yourPWIfolder>\elementclient.exe startbypatcher console:1
4) Start the game through the shortcut
5) In the game hit shift+~ to bring up debugging console
6) type "d_rendernofocus" into the console

Doing it that way doesn't break any rules.

Bringing up the debugging console for UK keyboards is different iirc it was either shift+, or shift+'

Unfortunately I tried that and it still didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion

Have you tried windowed mode? But this sounds like it may be a limitation with the remote windows program.

geochris

yes I tried both window and full screen mode. I agree that this might just be a limitation of remote desktop, although I can start other programs including other games just not PWI.

I really don't want to pay a monthly fee for a remote access program.

i use logmein (free version) to remotely connect and i have no issues. My client always windowed so i dont know if that makes a difference

Ditto here.

Also, you can't run the game in fullscreen mode.

I use phonemypc on my smartphone and computer works great. Spashtop works well too but phonemypc runs smoothly.
