I am fine with your software causing games to have to run in windowed mode when the dock is hooked up. Its the fact that when I take my laptop home and set at my desk and try to launch a game I get the same error. Your software should not effect the normal operation of the system. I have tried stopping the service DisplayLinkManager and removing the processes for DisplayLinkUI.exe, and DisplayLinkuserAgent.exe from memory. But unless I uninstall your software, gaming is no dice. So maybe you can tell me what else I need to kill so I can build me a nice "I want to play games script" that kills everything I need to enjoy a nice game at home.

And as to any game studio developers trying to work with you... I am sorry I wish we could spare the time to help. We can't and most of the interaction with the system itself is handled by the engine. For example we used the unreal engine. It handles almost all hardware level access. You would need to talk with the engine developers to get anywhere with that line.

Thanks for the reply,

So, we would be mostly happy If we could play our other games at home without having to uninstall the software every night. We actually don't get to set around at work and play games all day.
