If you're not comfortable with it, maybe you can drop this from 3.4.1 and put it on the to-do list for the next version ? I'm sure everybody here can live without this feature...

The scaling when starting the game in windowed mode is fixed !
But not when you first start the game in fullscreen mode : when you then switch to windowed mode, it uses max multiplier... and not the one you set in the winsetup.

It seems that fixed multipliers in windowed mode do not work.
If you set up your game with windowed mode and e.g. x2, the game runs at its original size...
If you set up your game with fullscreen with e.g. x2 for windowed mode, when swithcing from fullscreen to windowed mode, you get a max multiplier...

Hi, sorry to bother you again.
I found another small issue with the management of dual scaling for Windowed/fullscreen mode.
Make a game with default settings :
- fullscreen scaling mode = strech, preserving ratio
- windowed mode scaling mode = max round multiplier
- fullscreen
Run the game : it works as expected, i.e. fullscreen, stretched with good ratio.
Now, switch to windowed mode : it works as expected, with max round multiplier
Then exit the game
Then launch the game again : it runs in a window, but with stretch-precerbing-ratio mode instead of max round multiplier.
The .cfg in"saved games" only store "windowed=" and not the scaling mode... could it be the source of the issue?

Yes... I meant it's not a bug that prevent AGS to run... it doesn't crash the game and it's not even visible on every computer....

.The first build works like the previous one.
The second build works worse : fullscreen -> window gives a black screen, that isn't recovered by going back to fullscreen (it's only a display issue, so the game still runs, and it's fortunately easy to exit...).

Edit : do you use a software that tweaks windows management ? (some can change some Windows object behaviours like minimizing every window in the tray, add or remove windows buttons...)

I tested it.
The "bug" related to switching to windowed mode not being in focus with Software Renderer is fixed.
The bug related to switching to windowed mode not being displayed correctly with OpenGL is still here.
I like the new options for scaling modes. It works fine and looks "cleaner" than the previous behaviour.
The option names seem fine.

I encountered weird bugs with the fullscreen switch.
With Direct3D : no issue
With the Software Renderer : when going from fullscreen to windowed, the window loses the focus and so the sound jitters (not that important... but doesn't look clean).
With OpenGL :
- windowed to fullscreen : OK
- fullscreen to windowed : frame stays in fullscreen and is only resized (the frame gets what should be its windowed size and is moved at the bottom left corner... so there's a black background above and on the right of the frame).
The OpenGL issue does not happen everytime (it works fine on my older laptop and issue has been seen on two different computers...)
Windows 7 x64
AGS 3.4.1 + pre-RC3 fix.
Game is 320x200 and displayed at screen resolution.
Edit : another observation about the OpenGL bug. I used TeamViewer to access the PCs with the issue. I tried to switch from fullscreen to windowed mode.
What was visible on the "real" screen : the game stayed in fullscreen, stick to the bottom-left border of the screen, with black bars above and on the left.
What was visible on the TeamViewer screen : the game was in a window... I can even move it and close it by clicking X button...
So it seems the game correctly switches to windowed mode but the screen is not displayed correctly.
It's the same on both PCs...

I found another issue :
If you set the Graphic Driver in the editor (in Default Setup) to be OpenGL, it sets "driver=OpenGL" in the acsetup.cfg file, whereas it should be "driver=OGL" to work correctly.
EDIT :
In the same department :
Sprite cache size is not correctly written : editor writes "cachemax=128" instead of "cachemax=131072" (MB vs KB).
This has direct consequences on the game performance... (in my game, it dropped the frame rate from 60 to around 30).

I believe I found a bug related to the translation file.
My project was done with 3.4.0 untill now.
I installed RC2.
I "cleaned" my project folder by deleting the "compiled" folder.
I compiled my project with the RC2 : compilation failed and got an error message : "..\compiled\English.tra" not found.
Full error message :
The only way I found to be able to compile was :
- making a back-up of my .TRS file
- deleting the translation in the editor
- creating a new translation (with the same name) in the editor
- replace the newly created .TRS file with my backup
- compile
But, each time I delete the compiled\data folder, or just the .TRA file... the message comes back.
Version 3.4.0 was able to re-create TRA file each time if needed.

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: inverted icon???
« on: 13 Nov 2017, 22:19 »
I think the problem comes from the fact that when you import a picture, you've got to tell AGS what color has to be considered as transparent.
The default setting, when you import, is "top left pixel" : so the color of the top left pixel will be considered as transparent in the whole image.
Here, I see that your sprite image has a black border in the top left : so AGS considers that black has to be transparent (the pink color in the editor represents the transparency).
What to do : when you import, indicate another pixel for transparency.
