Portal doesn't stay on top of task bar when LiveSplit is open

Go to video settings and change the settings so the game runs in a window instead of full screen. The game will run in a window without border (so it still covers your entire screen). The only difference is that livesplit can now go over top of portal (as long as you enable "always on top" in layout settings).

Hope my explanation makes sense :)

I am in windowed mode, but Source Unpack makes the window fit my screen anyway. I have a pretty good understanding of how windows work, trust me :P

The problem, though, is that while LiveSplit is open, the task bar gets pushed to the very top layer and portal gets pushed to the bottom so that it is covered by the task bar. This only happens when LiveSplit is open. The task bar goes back to the bottom layer as soon as LiveSplit closes.

If you have dual monitors you can move task bar to the other monitor.

I don't, unfortunately.

And if it helps, LiveSplit will also hold the task bar on top of CS:GO(another source game). So we know the problem is not SourceUnpack, it's just source games in general...

It's very annoying please help ;-;

Two things:

  • I realized I said the wrong thing in my original post
  • I have screenshots now to be more clear about what the problem is

I'm not sure how these forums work so if this comment doesn't bump my thread to the top I'll just repost this in a new one.

I have screenshots to better explain my issue: http://imgur.com/a/KhLXY

The issue is that when LiveSplit is open my task bar covers the bottom of Portal. I'm using all default Source Unpack settings. I haven't changed anything. Clicking on Portal doesn't push the task bar behind Portal like it normally would. The only way to get the task bar back behind Portal is to close it.

Allowing Resetting ISG in Out of Bounds

An update has been released for SST that adds the command sst_portal_resetisg. This command removes Item Save Glitch and is to be used in place of restarting the game. This is a temporary solution while a more robust and legitimate one is developed.
