Fullscreen doesn't work
« on: June 08, 2006, 01:48:08 PM »
Hi,

We tried our demo on a high-end laptop (one that is marketed toward gamers) and the settings dialog box doesn't let us start the game in fullscreen mode, only windowed. The checkbox for "windowed" is checked and grayed-out.

The screen has a non-standard, widescreen native resolution but we were able to set the windows desktop to 1024x768 (same as our game's resolution), so it should be supported.

Do you know what is going on ?

Thanks,
  Olivier

Hmm, the check box is disabled if DirectX doesn't report a full-screen video mode with resolution which matches the game's resolution.

Could you check what video modes does DirectX Caps Viewer report?

It's fixed. Apparently it had something to do with using 120 dpi fonts in windows XP's desktop. Setting the font size to 96 dpi enabled the full screen mode, or so I was told...

Unfortunately I can't do any tests on that machine to confirm that.

At least I can't confirm that on my notebook (Dell XPS Gen 2) which also has a native 1920*1200 resolution. I switched to 120dpi fonts and restarted, but the fullscreen mode of WME always stayed available. However - good that it's solved for you now.  ::thumbup
