RC2: Resolution Switch Problems

by Daniel Voisard · in Torque Game Builder · 06/08/2006 (10:46 pm) · 2 replies

I can reproduce this error off of a fresh install of RC2:

1. Open TGB and go to the preferences menu.
2. The resolution selected in my menu shows 1024x768 but the window is running at 800x600.
So I switch the resolution in the menu to 800x600. (Set to D3D by default btw)
3. Click on apply then ok.
4. Go to preferences again - select 1024x768 and click on apply -- TGB window disappears and all I have is an entry on the task bar. Clicking on this entry will not bring the TGB window back up.

I can end the task to close TGB down, but restarting TGB after this results in just an entry in the taskbar (no window visible -- alt+tab doesn't work either). Restarted my computer and there is no diff - I had to reinstall TGB.

Some info about my computer:

Dell Inspiron 6400
Intel GMA950 Graphics
Intel Core Duo CPU
Windows XP SP2
1 GB RAM

My desktop resolution is 1280x800 32 bit color.

On a related note, TGB starts in 800x600, but when you go into Preferences, it changes the res to maximum available rather than leaving it at the current setting.

So if I go in just to change a keybinding, when I hit OK, TGB changes from 800x600 to 1600x900. I'm pretty sure this happened with RC1 as well.

This is the Windows version if it helps.

Yeah resolution info is screwed for me too.
