Default Blitter/BithDepth issue for fullscreen

[ghost]

FB Neo 1.0.0.03 night build 23 june 2022 Game: Akai Katana Full screen bitdepth is automatically determined and set in menu as 32 bit. Resolution 1920x1080. Default is blitter SoftX. When try to switch to fullscreen it gives error 1920x1080x16bit. Changing bitdepth doesn't help. But if you switch blitter to experimental DirectX 9 it switches to fullscreen normally.

Hi makushima, ddraw blitters (softfx & basic blitter) are incapable of hd (or +) resolutions for fullscreen, with some gfx cards. Please attach your ini file here (config/fbneo*.ini) and I'll try to see if perhaps the problem is something else.

best regards,

It is fine if it doesn't work. It is little bit inconsistent. I didn't changed any settings except controls. Default automatic settings for fullscreen looks correct in menu but user cannot switch to full screen. Maybe fullscreen option should be grayed in such configuration?

well, 1920x1080x 32 or 16bpp works fine with ddraw on my system, but on some gfx cards don't allow ddraw (which is very outdated method for blit) to run at this resolution. There's no way to know if it will be possible without actually trying to go fullscreen first. I think its simply a bug in the error dialog saying 16bpp when it's actually 32bpp, though.

[dinkc64]

Looking at the debug log it appears to try 32bpp (configured) first, when it fails it tries 16bpp, but that also fails, so the dialog comes up saying it 16bpp. I think SoftFX is the only blitter that will try a lower bpp when 32bpp fails.

OK. it makes sense now.
