[SOLVED] No Fullscreen? (v3.3.4)

[arj0n]

I'm wondering why my project isn't able to run in fullscreen.

When running in fullscreen combined with any nearest-neighbour
filter or 'none', it always shows as small as possible.

The best I can get is 'windowed & nearest-neighbour filter'.

Could you put following in your config file:

[misc]
log=1

run the game and then go to C:/Users/<username>/Saved Games/.ags , find a log file and post its contents here (you may post not all of it, but only lines below "Initializing resolution settings" line)

Sure, here's the (partial) log (game setting = fullscreen,max nearest-neighbour filter):

Try one of the 4x filters. On my system, the game runs @ 1280 x 800 with black borders on all sides.

The log indicates that your D3D9 driver does not support any 16-bit fullscreen modes...

Created graphics driver: Direct3D 9
Supported gfx modes (16-bit): none
Supported gfx modes (15-bit): none

The rest is a result of an (somewhat awkward) engine's attempt to run the game anyhow: after realizing it cannot run in fullscreen it it falls back to windowed mode. For some reason it does so only after switching filter to "none", which is a mistake, which I will be fixing.

The solution for your case would be to enable windowed mode in setup when running on that particular computer.

Thanx, but I tried that already, with no result.
But: the log showed a 16bit problem. So I switched to 32-bit (true-colour) colour depth, recompiled and ran the game again: it now shows properly in full-screen.

Thanx CW and Khris, appreciated.


EDIT:
CW: I noticed your answer after my post:

Mmhh, Ok. But after switching to 32bit it seems to be solved perfectly.

Thanx for looking into this!
