Black Bar....

Post by Keyhole »

Hello there !
I seem to have a black rectangular bar in the top-left of every game I play, does anyone know why this is and how I can get rid of it ?
Thanks :)

No idea. It might help if you told which version of ScummVM you are running on what kind of system. If it's on an ordinary computer, does it make any difference if you're running in fullscreen or windowed mode?

0.13.1 on Windows XP, pretty normal PC - AMD 3200, 2.01ghz.
seems to do it mostly on Fate of Atlantis, cant even see the 'Indiana Jones' logo because of it ! I've tried it in full-screen and windowed mode and it's still the same :(

I just now the FM-Towns Version of Indy4 has similar problems:

You might look at the screens there:

and

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/downloa ... id=1032859

That version is pretty rare and expensive, and I think nobody in our team has it, so we can't fix that.

If you don't have the FM-Towns version, then I got no idea about your problem.

Does the same happen in the launcher btw.? Or only in Indy4?
You might try some other game from here: http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/downloads/#extras
or some demo: http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/demos/
And check whether it happens for those too.
