Issue with fullscreen (not asking where residualvm.ini is)

[reismahnic]

Hello,
I have gotten Grim Fandango to run but it is in the small window (not windowed, but low res), not fullscreen.
I found residualvm.ini, but opened it and found that fullscreen is already set to 'true'.
I am on Windows 7 64 Bit and again, the game seems to run fine, sound etc. The only issue I have is that fullscreen is not active.
I am running it on a Geforce GTX 560TI (SLI is active, but I don't think that would have an affect on it.)
Thank you very much.
-Reis

Solved:
I had to toggle Hardware Acceleration on and off a couple times but it works.

I can't get this to work. Windows 7, have the .ini file, it was already on fullscreen=true but still no fullscreen. What to do? :(((

And I also tried this. Didn't work :(

Which version of ResidualVM are you using?
Can you launch other games in a 640x480 resolution?
Does the log say anything?

Hey Botje, thanks for the reply!

I am using version 0.1.1 and I don't have any other games to try out unfortunately.

The "log"... is that the same as the "Status Window"?

Very strange that the menu options do not work.
You can test whether your system supports 640x480 fullscreen with, for example, the Cube engine (http://cubeengine.com/cube.php).

If that works, can you remove your residualvm.ini, re-add the game, set it to fullscreen and try again?
If that still fails, please try again with a daily build (http://www.residualvm.org/downloads/#daily).

The Cube engine link didn't work. I removed the .ini file and re-added the game, didn't work. The daily build didn't work either, and froze my computer when I tried to Quit Game...

Oh well, I guess I won't be playing Grim Fandango then.

Or you could try again when This pull request gets merged.

Augustus: Can you try again with a new daily build (as of 04/12)?
We recently merged code that allows ResidualVM to render fullscreen at your desktop resolution.
Hopefully that fixes your problem.

When I try that build the game doesn't even start. ResidualVM closes and I can't see either RVM or Grim Fandango in the running processes in task manager. I managed to take the following screenshot before it closes down:

There should be a residualvm.log in your home directory somewhere (for me it's C:\Users\Dries\AppData\Roaming\ResidualVM\Logs). Does that contain anything more?

Also, one thing that surprised me about your screenshot is that your OpenGL renderer appears to be Intel. I thought you said you had an NVIDIA card? Can you try forcing the NVIDIA card somehow?

Thanks for sticking around to debug this, hopefully we can make it work for your system.

I have one of those integrated graphics cards and cannot really do anything about that. I don't even know what NVIDIA is.

And no problem, I'll stick around for as long as it takes.

[Botje]

Oh, I confused you with the original author of this thread. Which integrated chipset do you have and what driver version?

It's the "Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family" lol. I honestly don't know more than that.

^ I assume this wasn't helpful. That's all there is to it. It's one of those integrated graphics cards that came with the laptop. Never upgraded it in any way.
