Try to enter the resolution like c = FullScreenCanvas.GetFullScreenCanvas(new Mode(1920, 1080, ColorDepth.ColorDepth32));

or any resolution what you want.

Hello, is debug mode enabled? if yes this is a known issue and you should not using debug with graphics on VMWare :/

[Neil-Ciciglycerin]

Ah, it is. Thanks for helping!

[Neil-Ciciglycerin]

What, exactly is debug mode, however?

[zarlo]

a mode where the debugger code it emitted when building to allow the os to talk to the IDE

[Neil-Ciciglycerin]

Ah. How do you disable it?

[Neil-Ciciglycerin]

I figured it out. FOR THE PEOPLES WHO COME HERE IN THE FUTURE: uncheck the checkbox that says "Enable Cosmos Remote Debugger"
