Fullscreen bug

Raziel · #1 09-23-2005, 11:44 PM

When I go fullscreen, it takes FOREVER. Literally. I end up having to end task or use alt+f4 or whatever works, because the screen just goes black.

Anyone else having this problem?

It is working ok for me; does it still take a long time if you have the 'start in fullscreen' option turned on, or only if you try to switch between windowed and fullscreen mode?

It was even more annoying when I had 'start in fullscreen mode' on. As soon as I opened Graal it would turn into the black screen.

Edit: Could it have anything to do with my resolution settings?

Is there any kind of errors in the console (press F2)?

Raziel · #6 09-24-2005, 12:40 AM

I don't get a chance to see them because I have to end program or log off Graal to fix the screen.

I am having the problem as well.

I'm not having the problem. What type of graphics card are you two using? I remember having this problem with v2

A lot of people have problems similar to this, and a lot of cases they just have to update either:

To newest DirectX
Their graphics card drivers

Could it be low resources for your computer memory, Or just a glitch with your version? I'm not having any problems with Graal 4, 3, Or 2 on Fullscreen mode.

Probably like the others said you may need a different Video Card or something of the sort.

Mine works fine.

I'm having no problems with this either, so I would agree with Napo here.

Exactly the problem i tried logging to my old windows me computer with a old messed up graphic card driver but it has the New DirectX it didn't work so i'm assuming it's just the Graphic/Video Drivers. Then back onto my Windows XP P.C and it works perfectly fine there could be other possible reasons though.

Hmm, I'm not having this problem. It goes to fullscreen right away.
