How to run Delta Force in fullscreen without downloading programs (Does not work on Windows 11)

Due to a minor compatibility issue for this game with modern operating systems, Delta Force will not be able to run in fullscreen. Instead, the screen will appear in windowed mode with borders that make that when we play, part of the game information is cut off and this causes the game to freeze and prevent closing the application with the task manager, forcing us to restart the computer.

For this we have two options:

- The first would be to download a tool that allows us to run any game in fullscreen, eliminating the problem of windowed mode with borders. The most popular tools are: dgVoodoo, Windowed Borderless Gaming and WineD3D.
- The second, which is the one that I am going to recommend in the guide, would be to download a patch on the novahq page that patches the .exe file for a new one that allows us to play the game in fullscreen very easily and without having to download third party programs.

Downloading the patch

I'll leave the page to download the patch here:
https://novahq.net/files.php?ID=728&ID=728
When you open the page, click on the link of the title with black letters:
Doing this will download an .exe file which is actually the patch.

---

Once we have the downloaded file, we double click on it with the mouse. When you open it, you may see a window warning if you want the application to make changes to the device. Click on Yes and then this window will appear:

---

What you should do now is click on the down arrow. When you press it, this list will appear:

---

Of the 5 options to choose from, we select the one that says Delta Force 1 Window Border Fix.

---

Once selected, click on the option below: Install / Update Selected App Fix.
Once this is done, another window will appear in which it will tell you that the update was applied correctly.
With this, the .exe file called Df that appears in the Delta Force folder on steam, will be replaced. In this way, when you run the game, it will appear in fullscreen and not in the appearance of a windowed mode with borders.

SamboNZ @ I'm glad it worked for you.

kevin @ As you say, it's normal for this to happen because it's an old game, but also more because it's a game with these graphics.
My game froze too, on Novaya Zemlya's last mission. I had nothing left, just clear the hangar and the last building and right at that moment; the game froze.
However, I played it again and eventually got through it with no problem.
Well, I'm glad the guide helped you.

Thank you so much! This worked perfectly.

It worked for a while at least ... afther i started playing the novaya zemlya missions it freezed again ... i'm really not surprised to be honest ... this game is old but still fun ... still better than most games these days. Thanks for the guide anyway!!

I'm glad. As for Delta Force 2, there is no need to use DgVoodoo as the game does not have fullscreen issues like Delta Force 1, Land Warrior and Task Force Dagger.

The only thing that needs to be added to that game is a small patch, whose function is that when the game freezes, pressing the Insert key will return the game to normal without having to restart the computer.
The truth was very useful to me.

People were recommending DgVoodoo, which worked for me for Delta 2, but not TFD. Then I remembered your solution for the original and decided to try it out and it worked. Always glad to see a working solution to a problem online.

[Rubenjackson]

No problem. Thank you for viewing the guide and also thank you for putting the link to my guide. That flatters me a lot.

[Coagulant-13]

Thanks a lot for this. It worked for Task Force Dagger as well, and I credited you in my guide for TFD .
