Inability to Fullscreen

Post by Shnazzmeister93 »

Hey everyone, Shnazz here. I am new to these forums, and the game as a matter of fact. I'm in love with it already but I have one problem. I can't seem to full-screen the game. Is this intentional? If not, can someone help me out? I can't click on the maximize box on the upper right hand corner of the window, and the full-screen option in the game's options doesn't seem to do anything.

After setting full screen in the game options, you have to exit the game and restart for changes to take effect IIRC. Some of the UI libraries the game uses are somewhat dated so certain features, like entering full screen, aren't as eloquent as one might hope.

I just tried it and it didn't work. Anything else I can try? Thank you for the response, by the way.

Hmm, never wanted to go fullscreen once i learned how to trap cursor with Alt+T and set an arbitrary resolution in config file or on command line. Just found it nice to still see the taskbar.

Also, Alt+Enter does the fullscreen for me.

I didn't realise custom resolutions could be defined in the config file... I just tried WZ at 2560x1600px on my second monitor and it was huuuuge, but for some reason the structures looked a bit skewed and because of the zoom-out limit I wasn't really able to get that much more of the map on screen.

On 3.1, in properties of the shortcut, I added --fullscreen and that fixed it.
