**here is the updated version, the one you posted is old and has an out dated window.cfg**

Changelog
-window.cfg v1.2 is does the same but is now compatible with non-SoFplus clients
-Updated to usage, Add "exec window.cfg" to your autoexec
-set _sp_cl_cpu_cool 1 to help users who experience lag (SoFplus client required)

Problem
Users with Vista/Win 7 produce Black/grey UAC3 Screenshots when playing SoF.
The old fix, of playing SoF in windowed mode is distracting and blocks part of the users screen, which is not acceptable.

Solution
Patched ref_gl.dll which removes theborders from SoF in windowed mode.

When desktop resolution is adjusted to the same resolution as SoF.exe it will look identical to fullscreen mode. (because it is). This will allow UAC3 to take normal/visible screenshots from users who have Vista/Win 7. Example here

http://sof1.megalag.org/sofplus/window.cfg


Usage
1.Replace the existing ref_gl.dll in your sof folder with this one.
2.Set desktop resolution the same as SoF.exe
3.Right click taskbar > properties > taskbar > uncheck Keep taskbar on top of other windows (option removed in Windows 7, choose Auto-hide instead)hint
4.Place window.cfg, in your base folder (check download links)
5.Add "exec window.cfg" to your autoexec.
7.Start UAC3 and click 'Start scanning'
8.Start SoF.exe and exec window.cfg and join a server.

Notes
-Aero does NOT have to be disabled
-Users who require the patched fixed ref_gl.dll to prevent crashes can use this one also.
-To minimise SoF.exe use alt+tab or type minimise in console.
-Users who are lagged by UAC should try setting _sp_cl_cpu_cool to 1
-Make sure that your vsynch is disabled and your monitor is running at its optimal refresh rate.
-If your UAC3 screens do not look like this with window.cfg please contact me.

Again very nice work :!:

Ok so I exchanged my 4:3 monitor for a 16:9, and I used this fix and the widescreen fix to fix my sof... it works fine but I cant see my healthbar now ?

Sounds like your SOF resolution is too big for your monitor? are you using the correct gl_mode with the widescreen patch?
What resolution are you using?

ahh... fixed it, I didnt realise my resolution was different from my sof.

I am using 1920x1080 on 120hz

But my fps is now 119 instead 145, how comes ?

Just a guess, but, i think your pretty windows OS is competing with Sof.exe for resources, making the graphics card work harder, which isn't the case in fullscreen mode.

Ok, so I removed this black screenshot fix, and now I want my sof to be fullscreen, how do I do that ? because it wont go fullscreen whatever I try to do lol

set vid_fullscreen 1

Tried, doesn't work.

Then your graphics card is struggling at these high resolutions

no it's not, it works fine with mw3.

And on sof I got the same issue when i put it on low resolution.

Also the widescreen patch doesnt let me save my "gl_mode 2" configuration, everytime when i start my sof it startsup with gl_mode 6 instead of 2.

ok fixed, changed some compabilities in sof.exe properties to get my fps back.

I have just install uac and it went from grey (without fix) to to white using the above fix.

Game, make sure that you exec window.cfg when you are ready to uac to start taking screens.

UAC3 screens will be grey IF:
1. vid_fullscreen = 1
2. vid_ypos = 0

window.cfg sets these values vid_fullscreen 0 and vid_ypos 1

double check the value of these in console

I think I did everything as described. However my black ss turn grey after I execute window.cfg and set my resolution same as in sof.

I notice my taskbar is not on top as you are implying above. Maybe sof is turning to normal fullscreen mode again and that is why I get grey screens?

correct onix.

UAC3 screens will be grey IF:
1. vid_fullscreen = 1
2. vid_ypos = 0

window.cfg sets these values vid_fullscreen 0 and vid_ypos 1

double check the value of these in console

I got these values in my window.cfg file and I double checked it in my console. It doesn't work. I am completely clueless what I can do more.

from what you said earlier, ofc you'll get grey screen if you set same software resolution and desktop

But this fix was about playing windowed with same resolutions so I don't get your point Jonathan.
