Cannot Alt+Tab Correctly

kylor · 07-26-2007, 07:01 AM

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop with 1440x900 resolution, the same resolution I run Regnum in. I have an nVidia GeforceGo 7700 graphics card if that matters.

I'm not sure if this happens with DirectX, but with OpenGL, whenever I alt+tab out of the game and go back in, the screen doesn't fix itself correctly (full screen by the way). It becomes really, really stretched horizontally, as in I can only see everything on the left side of what should be the whole screen. It's fine when I use alt+enter to go back to windowed mode, but if I go back to full screen mode again it's still like that.

Is this a bug with the game, or is there a way I can fix this?

You can use Alt + Enter to switch in Window Mode. After Regnum use the Window Mode, you can minimize the window (maybe after wait some seconds). If you are done, you can switch Regnum to fullscreen with Alt + Enter. It works for me (I also have problems with Alt + Tab).

Another way is to press the "Windows" key, between <ctrl> and <alt> on the left of most keyboards. It is ssssslllllloooowwww though.
