How to re-enable OpenGL when working remotely

Post by mpowers10000 » Tue Mar 14, 2017 8:41 pm

Some types of remote sessions disable OpenGL when launching apps. In RealFlow this can mean not seeing node info in the viewport, among other things.

How to re-enable OpenGL features in RealFlow (windows) when working remotely - use a .bat file with the following commands. You'll be disconnected, wait a minute for app to relaunch, then restart your remote session:

echo on
:: NOTE 1: change this to match the session ID in --> Task Manager: Users: ID (usually 1)
tscon 1 /dest:console /password:YourPassword /V

::Note 2: Any program that uses OpenGL (like photoshop, afterFX with certain plugins)
"C:\Program Files\Next Limit\RealFlow 10\realflow.exe"
