Stopinactivedisplay (Slash Command)

Slash Command

/stopinactivedisplay [0-1]

Stops rendering when the game is not the foreground application.

• 0 = Allows rendering when inactive (default)
• 1 = Stops rendering when inactive
• This command stops the rendering of all graphics when the client is not in the foreground (i.e.: switched to another program with, for example, alt-tab).
• Useful if you experience flickering of the application window you switched to because of the redrawing of the 3D world under it.
• Chat messages appear to be stored in a buffer when /stopinactivedisplay is active and will appear in the chat window when the game again has focus (i.e., in the foreground).
• Like /MaxInactiveFps, this command if often used by multi-boxers to increase performance.

Command Line Parameter

The command can be made more or less permanent by running it automatically at log-in as a Command Line Parameter. For multi-boxers, this has the added benefit of automatically setting -stopinactivedisplay for every instance of the game that you run. For example, -stopinactivedisplay 1.

Example

/stopincativedisplay 1
