Hi! One of our user have tried this scenario:
0. system is windows 8 with multiple monitors attached
1. one of the monitors is running a fullscreen app
2. then, windowed renpy game is started in compatibility mode with win7 and with administration privilegies
3. after trying to use fullscreen mode in renpy game, it crashes:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Could not set video mode.

I'm not sure if this scenario is supported, so what do you think of it?

Can you try it with a modern Ren'Py. A lot has changed in 6.99.
