Fullscreen Glitch

[zackzingki]

This has been happening a lot recently. I would switch from a minimized screen to fullscreen and I would 9 times out of 10, be disconnected from the server I'm in. Sometimes I feel comfortable playing in fullscreen, sometimes I don't, that's why I alternate. I have a mac running Lion 10.7.5.

This happens to me too, but it doesn't happen as much now. It only happens when it takes a long time to load the full screen, and the screen is blank for a while. For me, it's become better now after a few weeks. Maybe the same will happen for you. Anyways, it isn't that big of a deal.

This happens to me on occasion. The game's communication and visuals are ran on the same thread. When the visuals get choaked for whatever reason, the client can't talk to the server for too long and the server assumes the player dc'ed.

I also dislike the rather short timeout time.

I've always thought that this happens because your computer isn't that good enough to change screen dimensions without choking up PC performance. I used to have this peace of **** laptop where 24 out of 10 times I'd get disconnected from the server whenever I switched screen sizes or from windowed to full screen. I then upgraded to a way better one and my problem was forever fixed.

Again, I think it's a PC performance issue, not the game itself.

I think that's right.

The fullscreen glitch is still active. Starting to be an annoyance and seems to happens more frequently
