Bit Trip Runner 2 destroys Xorg Server #2142

Open Vash63 opened 11 years ago

Vash63 commented 11 years ago

On my dual monitor Nvidia system, the default bootup detected 3820x1200 (both of my monitors together) and spanned across them with half of each monitor empty (centered). This wasn't playable, so I set the resolution in the in-game settings to 1920x1200. After doing this, it now turns off my right monitor but does not display on my left one either - I am left with a totally black screen. I can hear audio and the game runs. I can even use my controller and move around the menu or hear the intro video, however no video appears on my screen.

To quit the application I have to exit the display server. Same issue occurs with KDE/kwin, GNOME/mutter, and running steam -bigpicture through xinit in its own display server, so I'm pretty sure DE nor compositor are involved - it would appear the game just wasn't tested with multiple displays.

Adding a pastebin of the log.txt found in its share dir: https://gist.github.com/5149093

Might be worth mentioning to the devs (here: http://gaijingames.com/team)

Definitely need to bring this up with the game devs. Steam isn't causing this.

Vash63 commented 11 years ago

Yeah, I sent them a link here, I just thought 3rd party devs watched this forum also as I've seen other 3rd party games here (and there's a category for it). They don't really have a tracker that I could find.

MrSchism commented 11 years ago

It's up to them to watch these; Valve doesn't exactly implore third party devs. Most often, they have their own support forum to discuss the issue.

I have this same exact issue. I was happy to see a new Steam game and thrilled when I got a coupon and instantly bought the game just now. Unfortunately, I have the same exact issue that's explained in the original issue description.

The game initially spans both monitors. This is unsuitable as I have an inch-wide gap between my monitors. I change my video settings to 1920x1080 in-game, and restart the game for it to take effect. Relaunching the game causes my primary monitor blank out while my secondary monitor loses a signal completely. I hear the game audio and using some guesswork I can exit the game using the arrow keys to find the "Exit Game" menu option. The game then exits cleanly allowing my secondary monitor to regain a video signal and display my wallpaper like normal.

Upon returning to my desktop, all of the windows that were on my second monitor appears on my primary monitor, as Bit.Trip Runner 2 disabled that display.

Some software info:

I have the same situation as @SnoFox described, except my primary resolution is 1920x1200.
