my games can't go to fullscreen

[M0ti]

Hi everyone,

I have a big problem with my game. One day a was just thinking to myself "Why not try the game in fullscreen?" I've never tried that before. But instead of fullscreen I always get this:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

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

Ren'Py 6.14.1.366

I was really afraid, when i see it, becouse i realy dont know, what i did wrong. With a little investigation i found out, that none of my projects can go to fullscreen. Only my old project which was created on older version of ren'py.
To be honest I dont need fullscreen, but what if players do? What if they got the same idea like me and the game will collapse!?!?

The solution would be to return to older version of ren'py, but if someone know what's going on, I would like to know it too.

There should be a code in screens.rpy like this:

Code: Select all

    ## Should we start in fullscreen mode?

    config.default_fullscreen = False

Change false to true.

There is a bug going fullscreen on Mac Mountain Lion (I reported them to pytom already and he's working on it). Your case seems a bit different though since you're on Windows, I had few players with that problem but I have no clue what it is (I suspect old/bugged videocard drivers).

Old videocard drivers or meaby just old videocard are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally possible. This is really old and poorly functioning office notebook. He has hard times with only running. But please don't tell him, he is quite sensitive.
