Yeah is there a way to prevent the game window from freezing when its not active so I can run the game in split screen?


For example:

When the game window is active everything is fine, but as soon as I select firefox the game window freezes. then when I click back it jumps to wherever I am at that point and everything is fine again.

The reason I would like this is so when I am running long distances (like for the winged tiger quest) I can do something while I run lol.

Thanks in advance.

    The game doesn't actually freeze up, it just stops the animation to be easier on your computer. If you'd notice when you go back to the game, it jumps right where you are.

    There is a way using XP, I just don't know it offhand because I use Vista. b:surrender

    Has to do with...cascading....or horizontal...something? b:surrender Trying so hard to remember...something you got to by right clicking on the taskbar.

    I do not believe this is possible, sorry.

    I was having the same problem trying to do other things while on long runs...but when I read Aadi's post about cascading windows......not sure if this will help Vista users since i use 7...but I fixed the problem by right-clicking the taskbar and clicking on either "Cascade windows" "Show windows stacked" or "Show windows side by side" I believe you would have to do this every time you start up the client, but its better than nothing i suppose


    sorry for necro'ing the topic....just started playing PW again
