Any way to run Arma at "windowed full screen"?

[galzohar]

With Xsplit wanting money for streaming games but not for streaming what is on your screen, currently Arma can only be live streamed for free if you play in windowed mode, which obviously isn't very pretty.

For games like Starcraft 2, there is an option for "windowed full screen" which basically allows you to stream using Xsplit's free features of screen capture. I was hoping there might be a way to make Arma run in a similar way. After all, nobody is going to pay money to show the game to people nor will anyone pay to watch it, and it's perfectly legal to use this workaround (and done by many professional gamers who would be putting their careers at risk if this actually was illegal).

Any help would be much welcome!

I often run windowed when I'm debugging. I force it to use the fullscreen by using...

WinX=0;
WinY=0;
WinW=1920;
WinH=1080;
WinDefW=1920;
WinDefH=1080;

...in my (write-protected) arma2oa.cfg. On my system the taskbar is topmost but that suits me and I've not looked at trying to remove it but you may find a way or may not mind.

You can go into your Video Setting in game and switch it.

What folder is this arma2oa.cfg in? I want to try this out myself so I can record with windowed full screen in Xsplit.

Thanks,

You will find it in...

c:\users\[windows username]\My Documents\ArmA 2\ArmA2OA.cfg
