v2.6 startup problem

Bugs Report
Bastich The v2.5 EXEs work perfectly however the v2.6 EXEs on my system fail once the emulation is started. Basically it looks like its trying to open a screen and failing. I have 3 screens on my system and they all start flashing black and then back to there original state. Very strange behavior ;-( Page 1 of 1 1 https://forum.thecompany.pl/exe-bugs/startup-problem-t3293.html

Re: v2.6 startup problem

For test you try: CTRL+F12
F12 GUI works?
Maybe you check resolution in "Display"?

Re: v2.6 startup problem

I have tried pressing F12 but no GUI appears. As soon as the emulator tries to open a screen all of my monitors start to flicker. After approximately 5 seconds of flickering my desktop returns to normal. I had a similar flickering problem when selecting the Direct3D Filter option on a previous version. This has only happened a couple of times and is very infrequent. Its as if the default monitor / resolution fails to open.

Re: v2.6 startup problem

Hmmm,

#1
You try to install it:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... aspx?id=35

#2
Unpack and put settings.cfg in the same location as the EXE.
settings.rar


#3
Go to %localappdata%/TheCompany and pack for me folder with invalid v2.6 game for analysis :)

Re: v2.6 startup problem

Thanks for your response :-)
Placing the settings.cfg file in the same directory as the EXEs worked.
The EXEs open on my 2nd / 3rd screen rather than the primary display / one the initial GUI is located on.
My primary disaplay is 1920x1080 where as the other 2 displays are only 1680x1050.
If there is anything I can help with let me know.
I have a full development system with VS2010 etc etc if its of any help.
Awesome setup you have much more convenient than all the faffing associated to WinUAE.

Re: v2.6 startup problem

Thanks! :tuptup1:
Can you change the monitor at Settings GUI (F12)?
We tested the exe on two monitors :)

Another proposition:
Clear settings.cfg and put this lines:

Code: Select all

gfx_display=1 ; or 2 or 3
gfx_width_fullscreen=native
gfx_height_fullscreen=native

Re: v2.6 startup problem

That works great :-)
For your information my primary display (as shown by * on the screen resolution W7 GUI) is actually screen 3 of 3.
