1.4 disappears on fullscreen + alt-tab

by Paul Jan · in Torque Game Engine · 11/23/2005 (7:19 pm) · 4 replies

I set my new release copy of torque 1.4 to the example.fps, and fullscreen, then alt-tabbed out, and it has disappeared from my applications list. TorqueDemo.exe is still running as a process, though, so I can't run it again before disposing of the process. Is anyone else seeing this happen?

Noticed the same thing with the first change to full screen.

- Killed task
- Loaded in window mode
- Changed driver i.e. OpenGL or D3D
- applied
- Then could switch with no problems between full screen and windowed.

Seemed to have to 'record' the driver setting first for some reason...

Changing from Full/Windowed or OpenGL/D3D seemed to be no problem from that point onwards

Hm I just tried that - it works okay while in D3D, but when I change it back to OpenGL and apply it, the same problem pops up again.

I don't have this bug... try updating drivers for your video card to latest version..

Known bug, issue #835 brought up in www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=34517.

We'll fix it in the next point release, which is coming soon. It's probably a simple snafu in the win32 window platform code that crept in with another fix. Aren't regressions great?
