Delay in full screen mode

Mobhack · #1 June 20th, 2006, 06:54 PM

And on the development machine, which is a 3Ghz P4 with 1GB RAM and a 128MB Radeon X300SE video card, I have none of these difficulties in full screen mode.

Since full screenis in DirextX, I would look into your video card's DirectX settings. (Mine are stock, but you may have changed something perhaps?). Look at both for the card (proprties - > advanced -> Direct* tabs on the ATI screen)and if you have the DirectX utility, look there too (Control Panel->DirectX).

Also - ensure you have hardware acceleration turned on or you will get DirectX software emulation and not the direct hardware acceleration. (Right click on display, Advanced button, Troubleshoot tab, ensure the slider is fully to the right)

Cheers
Andy

I realized that I was running Ati Catalyst driver version 5.5 (released a year ago) so I updated them to the latest 6.5. And now, both MBT and WW2 work! I can see none of the problems I encountered earlier.

Thank you Andy for your help. I am so sorry I caused you any extra trouble. I really should have tried updating my drivers a bit earlier

Anybody suffering from a laggy gameplay in WinSPMBT or WinSPWW2: if you have an Ati Radeon card, make sure you are running the latest Catalyst drivers.
