Title: Request: Full Screen mode Switch
Post by: brandx0 on July 19, 2004, 05:07:14 pm
Is it at all possible to add the feature to be able to toggle between windowed and full screen via alt-enter or something?  With these 3+ minute load times its really annoying to have to sit and stare at a load screen, so I like it windowed, but then its difficult to play well with it in window, when it would be great to just alt-enter and go fullscreeen for the missions, then switch back to windowed for loading so you can do other things

Well while its loading I can't alt-tab, but I can't alt-tab before it starts loading else it won't hehe, also mine crashes when coming back from alt-tab so its useless anyways

Hmmmmmmmmm.. Alt Tab used to cause problems in older builds but I thought that was fixed. I'm sure a coder will see this shortly, but if you want to be sure, report the bug on Mantis.

This is a 'log' of errors discovered with SCP. If you report the error in here, or if it's already in there, tag a message to the end with your system specs and details of what happened, and the coders will have a permanent record of the problem's existence :)

Alt-tab has always been touchy with FS1 and 2... I have 2 identical copies of FS1: one for actually playing the main campaign and other peoples mods, and one for making AHTW... The AHTW copy doesn't like alt-tabs: If I'm in mission, it'll pause, and work fine; but if I'm in the main hall, i'll freeze... The other install is a copy of the AHTW one, with the mods removed, but it alt-tab's fine... I've had other similar results with the 6 FS2 folders I had, till I used the -mod switch... (hooray for -mod!)
