Title: Fullscreen problems
Post by: noprophet on July 11, 2010, 08:21:37 pm

Hi Guys.
I have searched for this problem but cannot find an answer:

When i click fullscreen in the options menu, there is some flickering the game goes fullscreen but the mouse cursor is stuck in the top right hand corner of the screen. the only way to stop it is to bring up task manager and end UFO in the processes tab.

I have tried altering the properties of the ufo.exe to open as fullscreen but that only opens up the client and the actual game is still windowed mode.

i am running windows 7, 64-bit, nvidia geforce GT240M.

Thanks!

Any confirmation of that bug?
I think i already see that problem, but not sure.

Try to change the resolution, confirm the change & after that change to fullscreen. This should work.

If you want to use the resolution currently active you just have to change the resolution twice...

Do not forget to exit the game after you've done that.

After reload everything should be okay...

Please confirm if that workaround helped. ::)

I had the same issue. I've gone the trickier way:

Open C:\Users\[YOUR_USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\UFOAI\2.3\base\config.cfg and searched for "vid_fullscreen", changed value to "1" and saved. Then the game comes up in fullscreen mode.
