Topic: Can't get fullscreen mode to work... (Read 13203 times)

Hey all, I just found out about this wonderful port today. I was a big fan of this game back in the day so I decided to try it out. I cannot get the full screen to work however. And I'm sure I am putting the command line options right.
-f -r 640x480 is put after the "C:\Program Files\..." part.
It seems like it WANTS to work, it goes full screen for a brief second, then comes back into a 640x480 window.
I've tried without the -r 640x480 part, also tried with other options like -o and -r 320x240. I'm running Windows XP Pro. Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

I got it working using:
-f -o -r 1024x768
My desktop is 1024x768, so the window takes up the whole screen. Is that how the fullscreen works, or should I be able to get a real, fullscreen display?

Spathi? What spathi? You're imagining, hunam.

You should be able to get a true fullscreen. I can't say I know what the problem is though.

I dunno, must be my video card or something. It's pretty old. The way I have it now, it's basically giving me a 1024x768 window, but I can live with it this way.
Thanks though.

In case you are interested, I'll post my video info.
ASUS AGP-V6800 DDR (basically a Geforce 256 64mb DDR)
Detonator drivers 43.45 (latest from nvidia Mar 27th nonWHQL)
DirectX 9.0A
I just tried every combo with the display depth. First I was doing them like this:
-f -o -r 1024x768 -d 16
-f -o -r 1024x768 -d 24
-f -o -r 1024x768 -d 32
It would still go full screen for a second, and then would come back to windows and give me the game in a 1024x768 window.
Then I tried just the fullscreen command + color depth:
-f -d 16
-f -d 24
-f -d 32
All of these go fullscreen briefly, then back to windows, and then the game starts in a window, but a small window, I'd say the 640x480 size.
I can live with it the way it is, but I thought I'd give the details in case you have any interest in looking into it, or if other people have the problem, etc.

Right click on the game SHORTCUT, choose properties.
You should see a shortcut line with the path to the game exectuable, something like:
"C:\Program Files\The Ur-Quan Masters\uqm.exe"
You put these commands AFTER the quotes, like so:
"C:\Program Files\The Ur-Quan Masters\uqm.exe" -f -o -r 1024x768
