Windows 11 and full screen

[mscano]

Are either of the Steel Panthers games able to run in full screen mode on Windows 11? I just got a new laptop and when I try to run in full screen it kicks out an error, something about "SAL".

It does run in windowed mode.

The answer is pinned above in this thread

"Both winSPWW2 and winSPMBT are designed to run in both windowed and fullscreen mode.......HOWEVER...... not all windows based computer hardware/ software combinations can run fullscreen mode correctly but all windows based computer hardware/ software combinations CAN run windowed mode and windowed mode is the RECOMMENDED METHOD OF RUNNING EITHER GAME. If you CAN run the game in fullscreen mode with your computer hardware / software combinations, congratulations. If you CANNOT run the game in fullscreen mode but CAN run it in windowed mode then The Camo Workshop and Shrapnel games considers either game to be running and functional"

There are then some work-arounds ie borderless gaming etc.

Best set-up for most folk is "windowed" mode at "desktop" resolution,

I have used it to test , it works ,but I have no problem running the game in windowed / desktop mode and I prefer to have access to the taskbar
