"Battle Screen" window doesn't show up.

Post by Papasky »

Well, i looked on the forum and couldn't find anything like that, If i missed it, sorry.

So, my problem is pretty simple :
When i'm in the client, If I click on Help, Options, or replays, it works, but If i click on battle screen, it doesn't, the main windows isn't the main task anymore, but the battle screen doesn't appear on top of it, actually, its window doesn't open at all, and there's no error message.

I tried to reinstall in another folder, remove all maps except 1, etc, It doesn't change anything.

Any idea of what to do ?

Try this:

First, I assume your titlebar for the client goes to the "inactive" colors when you click the battle screen button. If it doesn't, forget reading on since I doubt this will help.

1) Open some other window. Any window, it doesn't matter. Just have it there in the background for when we need it in a moment.
2) Open the client.
3) Click the battle screen button so the titlebar goes inactive. Without doing *anything* else first, press alt+tab. This should bring up the other window you opened in step 1 to the screen focus.
4) Press alt+tab again until you get back to the client. The battle screen *should* be visible now.

Hope that helps, otherwise I'm stumped.

Yeah, the titlebar for the client was inactive.

I tried the alt+tab thing too before I post, but it didn't work.
Now it works, so i'll just explain what I did in case someone has the same problem :
I just went in options / interface , and activated "use taskbar button for each form" . Then I restarted and It worked...

No I didn't, but that doesn't change much anyway, since when you do that, when you click again on the "battle screen" button, it switches back to the battle window, same when you restart the client, when you click on the battle screen button, it shows up even if it wasn't the active window when you left the client before, and I tried to restart and it didn't work, the window was just inactive but it didn't open the battle screen.

Anyway, it's resolved now, but it was weird. Thanks anyway.
