Nanotron on Vista
by Steven Fletcher · in General Discussion · 06/24/2007 (7:43 pm) · 4 replies
I have posted the final demo of Nanotron at http://www.orbitalcows.com/downloads/nanotrondemosetup.exe .
We are about to make the game available for sale, and the artist's computer with Windows Vista was stolen. As such, we have no way to test it on Vista. Could someone with Windows Vista please test the demo just to make sure that it still runs?
Also, if you click on the "Buy Nanotron" button in the game, it should minimize the game and send your web browser to our website. Someone with Vista told me that the screen resolution wasn't reset to the default properly when this happened. I did something to fix this, but I have no idea whether it worked because I can't test it on Vista. I think it might have been a video card issue anyways, but, again, have no way to check this.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for checking it out.
I'm just surprised that it happens when people hit the Buy button but not when they minimize the game by hitting the windows button or something.

I'll just take the buy button out then. It's not worth having if it screws up display like that.Thank you for checking it out.

I don't know it was just an idea

No Problem, I don't know much about scripts, but could it be it is not releasing the D3D or openGL so windows can readjust the resolution, then when the game becomes active it takes back over the d3d or openGL.I don't know it was just an idea

I think I will have a window (not a full-screen window) after the splashscreen but before the game starts. I'll have "Buy" and "Play" buttons on this window. That should (hopefully) sidestep the issue altogether.

the game minimizes and then opens the web browser,
and it DOES NOT reset the screen resolution (honestly it looks like 800x600 or less)
