Multi-screen problem on win7

[Frogmorton]

If I alt-tab away from wz it minimizes the program, then when I return to it the mouse does not seem to be captured within the game window any more - it skips across to my second monitor, making it very hard to quickly scroll the map to the right. This is using wz in full-screen mode.

I'm not sure if this should be classed as a bug, is it likely to be something that should be dealt with in the wz software, or would it be controlled by windows?

Did you try Alt+T? (works in windowed mode (as well?), so there's really no good reason at all to use fullscreen mode).

Warzone 2100 uses SDL to create windows & handle game input.
That is a 3rd party library, and we don't really have control over that, but, they do have their own bug tracker available. Lots of other games also have issues when you alt-tab out.

Best bet is play full screen window as NoQ says, if it still is a problem.

Ok, so Alt+T works when in windowed mode, not in full screen.
Guess I will have to try to get by with the disadvantages of either of those.

Windowed is not ideal as I can't get a window taking up full screen size - it insists on top-aligning the window with the title bar visible so I lose the bottom edge, so I have to make the window the next size down from full res I guess.

Anyways, thanx for the Alt+T tip, I prolly could have read that somewhere if I had researched a little longer.

You can set arbitrary resolution in config file or on command line.
