Strange Issue with Full Screen Mode

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Strange Issue with Full Screen Mode

Hi there,

I've developed a simple app using BlitzMax and for the development phase i've been working in a windowed mode (800,600,0).

This has been fine and i've got everything working quite nicely.

But I now find that when I switch to 800,600,16 or 800,600,32 the application seems to freeze randomly and the screen isn't updating correctly.

Any clues as to why this might be?

Cheers

Pete

Are you using timers, events or just straight looping to control the drawing? Can you post your drawing code?

Is the graphics() command the only thing that changes between the windowed version and the full screen version?

If your using the Opengl driver, then I have this same problem. For me its fairly random about when and how often it shows up. but for me full screen programs just stop updating although the underlying program continues to run. Doesn't happen in DX.
