Hi there,

i have done a little app that change its resolution in a certain point.
I start it as 800*600, 32bit, and then i resize graphics3d to a different screensize.

During the debug it works fine for almost any resolution i choose.
But once the bb is compiled and i run the app, when it changes res, i got an error as Unable to set graphics mode.

What could it be?

thanks indeed,
cheers,
jTassinari

In debug mode, the program runs in windowed mode by default. Windowed mode can have any resolution you want. However, when not in debug mode, the program runs in fullscreen. Only a certain amount of graphic modes are available when in fullscreen.
Possible solutions:
1. Specify using windowmode: graphics 800,600,32,2 or graphics 800,600,32,3
2. Use GFXModeExists before setting a resolution
