Mode Switch Failed
« on: October 28, 2006, 08:15:00 am »

Running in Windowed Mode.

Just got slightly confused..

Normally I start the game, press the ok button for full-sized (because I'm to lazy to edit) and play.

Today I got an error saying: Mode Switch Failed - Running in Windowed Mode. Strange. When pressin F11 ingame the same happens.

After some restarting I choose "No" on startup, to run in windowed mode and then pressed F11 ingame. It worked..

And now pressing "yes" on startup works too..

Problem solved, but its still wired.

The mode switch failure comes because it couldn't grab the resolution from your computer.  Were there any changes to the init file?  I think the default is to try 800x600, which should be fine most places.
