Fullscreen goes to windowed all by itself

Post by manteiga »

Hi guys, me again.

Well, the game rox, all in all without graphic glitches or something like that. I am on a Xfx Geforce 7600 GTXXX with all the proper drivers ready and shinning.

The problem occurs in-game. All out of nowhere when i am playing the game interface changes from fullscreen mode to windowed mode. But i cant have access to the screen out of the game. Its like the game thinks its on fullscreen but i'm seeing windowed. The mouse does not escape the game screen.

First i thought it was me. That i was pressing some shortcut to alternate. But if it really was a shortcut, why i couldnt gain "mouse access" to the rest of the screen outside of the game?

Then i tried testing, and started a test game. Five minutes later and it was there. Happening all by itself and coming back all by itself.

MODS TESTED:

xta v9
tired annihilation

BOT AI USED:

KAIK013-21092007
AAI
KAI-0.12

The stuff occured in all maps tested.

Does anyone know how to fix that or this is a known unsolved bug?

I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon working with emerald as the window decorator and with compiz-fusion activated.
I didnt either used the .deb package. I compiled the latest tarball with the game sourcecode.

Install compiz-icon and disable compiz-fusion prior to running Spring? I've had minor issues with compiz-fusion and fullscreen apps.

When a notification pop-up occurs, Compiz will make the game go windowed. It's a weird process to make the app go back to fullscreen.

I recommend either playing spring widowed to begin with or temporarily disabling compiz. Either compiz switch (http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Switch) or what aegis suggested will work.
