fullscreen mode not working correctly?

[Fetito]

Probably this has already been discussed, but I was not able to find the topic.

I was playing around with the presets. When I compile and run them in „windowed mode“ everything works fine, but when I select „fullscreen“ there are weird colors (7 verb-Monkey Island style) or way too small.

Commercial AGS games on Steam such as “Blackwell Legacy” work fine.

I use Windows 8.1 and the latest Nvidia-drivers.

What's my exact issue?

That's probably because of DirectDraw5 incompatibility with the modern systems. Commercial titles use Direct3D9 which works fine. Try selecting Direct3D9 option in winsetup.exe

Please, give more information about this, such as:
* what is your game's resolution and colour depth?
* what is your monitor (desktop) resolution?
* how did you set up configuration for running the game (graphics renderer, scaling filter, other video options)?
* can you post a screenshot of how the game looks like fullscreen?

Also, when you create a new game, it's 320x200 by default afaik. Trying to run that fullscreen without a filter can give all kinds of weird results.
