Title: Engine Startup in Window "Bug" ? [Solved]
Post by: RickJ on Sat 14/07/2012 21:52:22
I guess this goes way back to V2.1 or earlier ... When starting a game, on Windows 7, in widowed mode the scree goes black for an instant and then everything comes back to normal and the game window appears.  I don't remember if this happens on earlier versions of windows or not but.  Can something be done about this as it's really annoying?  Thanks

[edit]
CW told me to change from DD5 to D3D9 and that fixed everything..

This has to do with Windows 7 disabling certain visual themes and such when running a windowed game in DD5 mode. It's stupid of course, but a Windows 7 issue rather than anything that could be really dealt with on the AGS side.
