Monitor issue with new install of TGB

by Travis Womack · in Torque Game Builder · 06/12/2008 (8:05 am) · 3 replies

Just installed the newest version of TGB.
When I start the IDE my monitor goes to 800x600
and only shows a portion of the screen.
If I Alt+Tab to another application the monitor goes back to showing the normal
1280x1024 resolution.
It looks like TGB is running in window mode, which is what I want.
But you can only see a portion of the TGB IDE due to the odd resolution change and clipping.

I tried resinstalling TGB and updating my graphics drivers (NVIDIA 8800 GT)
Running on XP
Any ideas?
I have not had this issue with previous versions of TGB.

Have you tried changing the size in the preferences? You are saying that when you load up the level editor you have monitor problems right? Not like the Torsion IDE window? I haven't had the level editor try to load me into full screen, but if your monitor is changing that could be what's happening.
Could you be more specific about when this happens?
a) loading up level editor
b) starting a level
c) loading torsion

This is all involving the level editor. It does not seem to be loading into full screen because what I see is part of the level editor window. The run level button is cropped off because it goes into the smaller resolution mode.
Torsion loads fine.

That happened to me a while back on 113 when I started messing with setScreenMode and/or setDisplayDevice. Have you guys been messing with those functions?
