WindowBlinds conflicts with Player Unknow's Battle Grounds (PUBG)

from Stardock Forums

Hey all, just wanted to put this out there because for MONTHS I hadn't been able to play my favorite FPS game, PUBG. I tried everything in the forums to fix the game but it just wouldn't load. Eventually I realized that WindowBlinds stops the game from loading, likely because Bluehole (the game devs) are worried that people will employ cheats with Windows skins, etc.

I got the game working by simply unloading WindowBlinds. I have to do it every time I want to play, which is a bit annoying, but I love the program so it's worth it.

Hope this helps anyone who might be having the same issue! Cheers!

When you say unloading, do you mean just switching to default theme in WindowBlinds and then running the game, or do you also have to reboot?

Also which version of Windows are you using?

Sorry for the delay in response. I mean I had to right click the Windows 10 system tray icon in the lower right and select "unload WindowBlinds" so that the game would open up.

I'm no longer playing PUBG as I've moved on to other games which don't have this issue, but I did want to put it here for SEO purposes if anyone was having the same trouble as me, or to let the devs know :)
