Games preventing the app to work properly (specifically, Delta Force)

9 Jan

I've got some reports recently that Delta Force would not work with Tactical Magnifier.

Luckily, this is not anything like Delta Force blocking tactical magnifier, it's more like Delta Force prevented Tactical Magnifier to read user inputs. I have found a fix for it.

I am not sure yet if other games could do the same thing, but it's highly probable. Give it a try if Tactical Magnifier does not work with your game !

The fix is to start the app with admin permission. Here is how to do that :

1. When you start the app, you should see a third option that says "Launch as admin", this is it.

2. If you don't see any launch options, right click Tactical Magnifier in your steam library then :

->Properties
->General
->Select Launch Options
-> Select either "Launch as Admin" or "Ask when starting Game"

If after this is still does not work, then please let me know which game so I can test it by myself

1.5 Update Patch Notes & News

9 Jan

Hey everybody, last update, I got a lot of feedbacks about things I have to change, so I worked hard to release 1.5 quickly.

Here are the changes.

-New option to start Tactical Magnifier with admin rights. This is mainly for delta force, using this option is required to make it work with this game, and maybe some others.

-Right click is now bindable by itself

-New option to enable/disable exclusive modifiers

-New bindable function that completely shuts off tactical magnifier, and can be used to turn it back on.

-New option for quick zoom. You can choose between incrementing zoom or absolute zoom.

Thank you for your feedback ! This app is getting really polished thanks to you guys.

Tactical Magnifier 1.4, implementation of community suggestions

4 Jan

Hey everyone !

I'm quite excited about this 1.4 build because these are all changes requested to me in the past week.

Here are all the changes :

-You can now start the app minimized by default !

-Fixed the initial delay you get when you magnify for the first time.

-You can now bind regular mouse clicks, but they MUST be paired with a modifier.

-Modifiers do not need to be exact, if you set zoom to CTRL + T, you will be able to zoom with CTRL + SHIFT + T.

-If no modifiers are set, then you cannot press any modifier in order to trigger a zoom.

-If you set and enter a quick zoom with a modifier key (let's say CTRL+SHIFT), then you don't need to still be holding CTRL+SHIFT to get out of the Hold zoom mode

-The values for offsets (X & Y) can now be set much higher

-If you want to start it when your computer turns on, you can try this.

Thank you for your suggestions, they help me make this application better.

Tactical Magnifier 1.2 Release Notes and news

31 Dec, 2024

Hey everyone !

I've been working a little between Christmas and new year eves, here's what I've got for you guys :

-New "Quick Zoom" functions. I'm really proud of these ! You can have up to 3, they are very versatile and completely replace the previous "Hold Zoom" function.

-App interface has been adjusted to make room for these new Quick Zoom.

-Bug fix : Mouse sensitivity adjustment is now properly turned off.

Now for some news !

Some of you are expecting a windowed mode as well as a way to not magnify all your displays at once.
Unfortunately, this proves to be very complicated, it seems like this cannot be done at a higher refresh rate than 60 hz, and with high stutter (Like when you use the regular Windows magnifier).
I cannot do any false promise here, this might not come at all in the future.

I hope everyone enjoys the new year festivities, I'll see you guys again on 1.3 !

Update 1.1 Is Live

19 Dec, 2024

-Reworked input binding system. It now works with mouse buttons, and the keyboards bindings will be available even if another app uses them.

-New hold zoom system. Hold a key to zoom temporarily, when the key is released, the zoom level is reset to zero.

-No need to input display resolution manually. It is now automatically computed.

-New offset feature. Offset the zoom center. This is very useful if you are using a scope in game and want to be able to read the reticle markings for long distance

Notes : I am aware that multi display is not functioning as it should, I am still trying to find a solution to it,

Thank you everyone for using my app !
