Hey there!
I wanted to know if there's a way of getting Irrlicht to render, even when it's not in focus.
At least for me, I havent needed this before now, but I currently need the engine to keep rendering even when it's not in focus.
Any ideas? (Sorry if the solution is something simple, actually never tried this before and can't seem to find anything on google etc).

Do you have a line like that in your code?

Code: Select all

 
if (device->isWindowActive())

That's the check used in the example to only update when the window is active. So you can disable that (in case that was the problem).
