fullscreen issue

Post by arnir »

Hello, I am doing some experimenting with the right resolution vs. performance tweaks but I've got an issue with fullscreen on resolution: 1024x576 it simply doesn't go to the fullscreen but stay in something like window mode on left-top corner but without window frame around. is that an issue with video card or something? note I'm using windows 7

1; that is an odd resolution, why would you run such a resolution (some monitors might not even be able to handle it)
2; What video card are you using
3; are the drivers for said card up to date?

Are you using OpenGL?
DirectX usually goes fullscreen properly if you use a resolution supported by your video card.

It seems Open GL in fullscreen mode, it happens nothing, this only appears when you don't clean the backbuffer for the first time. 1024 x 576 isn't that odd, in fact it is a widescreen resolution like 640x400 or 1280x720.

Try drawing something, and grab a screenshot so we can see properly what happens
