This is the old Winnitron that's doing this? What's the resolution of the screen and the operating system that you're using?
Old launcher yes, but I just bought a new graphics card for it, issues persisted. I will follow up and test further on my end when I get home.
I'm temporarily using a GTX 1050, screen resolution 1600x900, DVI port. Changing the resolution to 1024x768 seems to fix the issue.
Hmm, okay that's good to know. If you use a 16:9 resolution does that work as well? I'm wondering if the launcher can only handle 16:9 or 4:3 ratios.
While demoing at First Friday on the projector setup error persisted regardless of resolution.
Was the projector the primary display? Was it in mirror mode or were you using it in multiple display mode? I think @ludonaut found this bug happened when he had a multi monitor setup.
It was the primary/only display. Every time I've had the issue I've only had 1 display connected.
This is a strange one as I can't test it on my machine as it works as intended and Aaron hasn't reported anything similar on his machine. What version of Win are you using?
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601). Also as a side I have a on screen keyboard running most of the time but I've also tested it without.
Ok great, yeah I wonder if this is a Win7 thing as I think the other Trons are using 10. Maybe the DLL i'm calling to reset the screen works differently in Win7 and I should be calling something more version dependent, I'll look into it!
I will post my further testing in a spreadsheet but so far with 4Forths Idle Quit: Proper fullscreen, game running in the background Force Quit: Proper fullscreen, NO game running in the background
Games running in background is more related to #53, I think @aaronklaassen made some changes to that side of things which should eliminate those issues for all games. No need for a spreadsheet for that as Idle Quitting is not working properly for all games.
Also, is the fullscreen thing only happening on certain games? I thought it was happening with all games on your machine?
Ah Okay.
All games yes with the exception of 4Forths so far apparently, just tested it today and discovered it. I made the assumption it was ALL games based on the fact that 100% of the games I tried launching previously did the fullscreen bug
Just tested ALL the games and these are the only ones that exit back to proper fullscreen 4Forths N Arcade Sumo Toppler
I did NOT test X-Bones or Canabalt
I'll see what I can do. I suspect it has something to do with changing resolution when exiting the game.
The new version will have a batch file that you will need to run in order to make the launcher run in true borderless window mode and should not show the desktop when launching a game etc.
This includes manually quitting, force quit, and idle quit.
