[NEEDS INFO] Xonotic can't be played on fullscreen...

Hello,

I have installed the latest version of Xonotic (0.7) in my new Mac Book Pro (retina)...but whenever I launch the application I get stuck on this:    

The mouse pointer doesn't move downwards any further than the position it is in. So, I can't play on fullscreen and the worse bit: there isn't an option where I could disable fullscreen so that I may play it.

Shouldn't there be some switch to choose windowed mode instead of fullscreen somewhere in the settings screen?? Anyway, you can also disable fullscreen mode by opening the ingame console (Shift+Esc for me, you can change the key in the settings) and entering these commands:

Code:

vid_fullscreen 0
vid_restart

Alternatively, you could edit your config.cfg (under ~/.xonotic/data/) and change the vid_fullscreen setting accordingly.

EDIT: I didn't get that you can't even get to the settings screen when I wrote my reply. So maybe editing your config.cfg is the easiest solution to get rid of the fullscreen mode

Hmm that's odd. The problem appears to have fixed itself. Even before I could edit anything...But, I will post, if the problem still persists. Thanks for the advice.

The problem returned again and it's worse!

The fullscreen mode shows only 1/16th of the screen now:


   

What I did after the problem temporarily disappeared:
1. I edited the resolution to the maximum possible, assuming that the problem was gone for good. My biggest mistake so far...

Okay, I tried that typing that code you posted but that didn't work. Any other suggestions?

Ehrm okay, that's interesting...

Anyway, screensize is also controlled by cvars, so you can try to change them the same way - either via console, or by editing your config.cfg:

Code:

vid_width 800
vid_height 600
vid_restart

(Of course you don't need vid_restart in config.cfg)

Could you post your exact system specs here? I think this problem needs to be investigated more closely =)

Okay, I have managed to solve the problem. I opened the config.cfg file in the userdata folder and resetting the width and height to 1440 and 900 respectively. But, what do you mean by system specs?

System specifications: how your system is set up (hardware and software): OS, desktop/laptop, graphics card, screen resolution, ...

Hehe, that's probably more than enough. I removed some info from your post just in case (serial number, UUID, full name).

Now we wait for zykure
