xQuicksilverx Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Anyone having this problem? Ive been running in Fullscreen Windowed mode since release and never had a problem. I just finished downloading 1.2 and now I cant play in fullscreen windowed 1280x1024.. however it did work in just plain old Windowed mode. This is really a pain. Anyone else having this problem?

Lundli Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Running in Fullscreen windowed atm, no problems.. are the option greyed out for you or simply not there? No idea what might cause it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FITorion Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I don't understand Fullscreen Windowed... I get Fullscreen. I get Windowed. Fullscreen Windowed just looks like Fullscreen to me. What is Windowed about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasgallant Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 aren't the servers all down? yep servers are down but you would still be able to get to the server list.. and for OP mines working just fine in windowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omezawa Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Running fullscreen windowed mode here to, no probs so far, already changed the new char graphic option to high res texttures. and yes the servers are still down but you can get into the server selection screen and as such play around with the graphic options.

What is Windowed about it? Try Alt+Tabing in Full screen and then in Full Screen Windowed while in the game. That might give you a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xQuicksilverx Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) mm I have no idea *** is wrong with my client. Ive gone into my c-users-appdata-swtor folder and looked at the client_settings file.. its all still where it should be.. For those that can get it to work.. are you noticing anything different with the setting? Im pretty sure i could get it to work if i hooked up my old monitor, but im using a tv monitor that only supports 1280x1024 Also for the person who was asking what the point of fullscreen windowed is.. its so you can run programs/video ontop of your game client without minimizing.

FITorion Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) hmm... just tried Fullscreen Windowed working fine. Edit: although.. in Fullscreen Windowed the server select button seems to be mostly off screen... where as it is fully on screen in windowed mode. anyone else getting that?

What is Windowed about it? Full screen Windowed allows you to run in full screen mode, while still letting you move your cursor off the window, say to another monitor, and doesn't have the border around it. If using only one monitor it should allow you to alt-tab without getting a loading screen when you tab back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xQuicksilverx Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 More information on this issue: Windowed mode: Works Fullscreen: Works Fullscreen Windowed: Does not work This is all using the 1280x1024 resolution, the only one my monitor supports. So i dont know what it is, but they changed something in the game files with this patch that prevents me from running the exact resolution i need to for this tv.

Every time I tried to switch it to it, it says out of range on my monitor. This happened every patch, but it was easily fixed by going into the client_defaults.ini How ever, this work around is no longer working. I hope they fix full screen window mode for 1280x1024 resolution. Window mode: works. Full Screen mode: Out of Range. Full Screen window mode: Out of Range.

xQuicksilverx Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ive tried deleting the client_setting and Graphics_mirror, still hasnt fixed it. I hooked up my old monitor, everything worked as i thought it would.. I set the preferences to Fullscreen Windowed : 1280x1024 and it worked perfectly on that monitor. So then i unplugged it, and hooked it back up to my TV, and it went right back to the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said your old monitor works just fine, and the game locks the refresh rate at 60hz when its in fullscreen window mode, that can screw up some tvs/monitos that somewhow dont suport that resolution/refresh conbination.

Zagadka Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I don't understand Fullscreen Windowed... I get Fullscreen. I get Windowed. Fullscreen Windowed just looks like Fullscreen to me. What is Windowed about it? For example, some of us have 2 monitors. In full screen, you can't just move the mouse off the game to the other monitor. Playing Windowed is a pain. Hence, full screen windowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundli Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Btw, what kind of tv-set supports 1280x1024 ? Sounds like a really odd resolution for a tv.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livnthedream Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 All modes are fine for me at 1360x768. Hope you get it figured out. i also run at this resolution and am having issues with resolution mismatch, which is the same thing i had issues with pre launch.

chironezone Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 When I used fullscreen window there is about an inch black border around the game. Windowed and fullscreen both take up my whole monitor. Anyone know *** my problem is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
