PRBF2.exe - Remove process ID from window title

[Senshi]

Please remove the process ID from the window title/classname.

Currently the window title looks like:
"PRBF2 (1.5.3153-802.0, pid:2156)"
As the PID changes on every launch, secondary applications that require a static title will not be able to remember settings.

Hence, a proper window title would be:
"PRBF2" or
"PRBF2 (1.5.3153-802.0)"

Specifically WindowedBorderlessGaming.exe is unable to remember settings due to this.

Open Broadcast Software also can not keep track of the PR window because of this.

When PR crashes while broadcasting, the broadcaster has to manually refresh the sources to find the new PR window name each time.

Windowed Borderless Gaming is able to remember it.

In the global settings you will have to change one of the triggers to check without title.

So to have the game change with a hotkey (default F4) go to the "force key" section and check the checkbox that says "Check for window class and process"

To have it managed automatically do the same but in the "Automonotoring section".

Now it will not check for window title IF you remove the window title from the game settings.
Windowed Borderless Gaming > Game settings > your game > Remove title from identifier.

This is hardcoded, can not be changed.

Is it possible to not call the unique PID to the Title bar?

Alternatively.
Is it possible to write an autohotkey script to obfuscate the title bar text to remove the PID? That might be a workaround for us.

Question is, for the [Title:] part, do I remove the entire line, comment it out (what is the comment variable), keep the [Title:] or remove it completely???

The AHK one surely works. I am detecting the window already by partial name for some scripts i use, so no problems there.

Are you on a old version not to have these options?

Anyways i thought it was just the title, not the title AND class, so the method i posted still wont work.

I made a little hotkey script to change the window title to just PRBF2.

You can download the compiled script:

https://www.mediafire.com/?u686i01d9zxy7j7
PRBF2 Standard Window Title???exe (202,21 KB) - uploaded.net

Place it in your pr bin folder. ie. E:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\bin.
Run it as admin.


If you don't want to download my file, you can compile it yourself in autohotkey. (It still needs to be run as administrator and still needs to be in the pr\bin folder.)

Code: Select all

Run, PRLauncher.exe
WinWaitActive, PRBF2
WinSetTitle, PRBF2

It runs prlauncher and waits for the main prbf2 window to appear. When it finds the window it changes the title to just PRBF2.

Nice work, that should be helpful for some people
