[FN] If Fullscreen and Screen Resolution to high - > Game is inaccessible

[zDEFz]

Steps to reproduce

1. Make sure you have a very high Screen Resolution (in my case i use the DSR factors)
2. Tick Fullscreen
3. Click Apply
4. Open Cultris II Fullscreen Game with another resolution than the game has
5. Alt Tab to the game

Expected result

I can set options use the sliders and so on

Actual result

I need very large distance in order to change settings.
Users who have DSR Factors activated can't set another settings properly.

Could you clarify this a bit. What are you seeing/not seeing and what is not working?

Not sure if this is something I can fix, but I will pass the question on to someone with more insight.
If this bricked the game just remove the config.cfg and restart the game. This should restore standard settings.

[zDEFz]

It does indeed brick the game. Whatever - config.cfg doesn't get recreated if i change settings.
So basically at the moment we are also missing an option to save Configurations
Removing the config file will load default settings.

my config settings do get saved. it se\ms that this only happens if there is a crash. crash = config needs to be deleted and settings need to be reinputted.

Is he changing resolution or just tabbing back and forth between two windows?

[zDEFz]

He is just tabbing to the cultris window which has another resolution.

If you look at my issue that is bricking the game - it seems a general scaling problem - i could move the window further than my game was. -> Could move mouse cursor into the void.

[kroyee]

I can't reproduce this.
Your issue is most definitely connected to the DSR factors. I'm not sure if it is a problem with SFML or just TGUI though. We would need to do a simple test with the mapPixelToCoord function on your computer to establish that.

Angstahs issue on the other hand seems to be with something else. Possibly the "resizing" function that tries to keep the aspect ratio of the window. It's very hard for me to tell when I can't reproduce it on my own computer.

[kroyee]

You could tell him to comment out this section of the code in main.cpp

else if (event.type == sf::Event::Resized && gui.options->currentmode == -1) {
    resizeWindow(view, event);
    window.setView(view);
    gui.gui.setView(view);
}

it should appear 4 times in the main event loop.
See if that removes the issue.

@kroyee i can give you access to my some windows machine if you want.
DSR Factors does just mean that the default resolution can be very high.

The real problem here is that you exclude people with multi monitor setups.
Please understand this and try to fix it.

Why don't you use the actual resolution? Instead using the highest available in the system ?

I go ahead and try myself.

[kroyee]

I'm not excluding anyone. I simply don't know how to fix it.

[zDEFz]

Can you rerender - automatically fit the window to the current used resolution after getting the game in focus / refocus? And after the screen resolution has changed as well

It did not fix it.

After going into the cultris window and switching back your game thinks we are on the low resolution.
So it displays only a part of the actual game instead of applying the lower resolution.

This is happening:

C2 = 800x600 Fullscreen

Speedblocks = 2560x1440 Borderless Fullscreen

Open C2 (800x600)
ALT TAB to Speedblocks

Speedblocks is not refitting it's content to the actual window resolution -> FAIL

Speedblocks should re-fit its content after each re-focus

Do you want access to a real machine ? Can we share screens somehow? If that helps?
I could possibly give you remote access to my system.

I did try the bugfix from @zDEFz and the problem still exists.
