[SOLVED] Cannot use full screen mode

[Killer.Penguin]

We're having a strange problem, whenever we use editor in full screen mode, the screen keep switching out to desktop whenever we open a new window or click on them. We're using Window7 64 bit with Asus HD7850. Does anyone has a similar problem or know how to fix this? 

 

Best,

Your probably using the interface plugin which does not support full screen. (this lets you drag panels from outside of the main window)

Check that you are by looking at the top of your log or console. You'll probably see a line that reads; Loading "Interface_x64.dll"...

How do we fix this problem then?

We tried created a new project without interface plugin and it works fine in full screen.

But how do I remove the plugin from the already created project?

 

Needless to say, it should work both way without having to removing the plugin though...

Check your config file and look for  the item extern_plugin:

<item name="extern_plugin" type="string">Interface</item> 

If you need to work with Interface windows and fullscreen mode try video_fullscreen=2

Hi,

Yes, Interface plugin does not support full screen mode.

To run your project without interface plugin you can simply modify your launcher script:

 1. open launch_editor script from project folder
 2. find the following line at the end of the script:

-exterm_plugin ",Interface,..."

 3. delete the following :

,Interface

 4. check that there is no "Loading "Interface_x**.dll"" at the beginning of console log
 

 

 You can read more about command-line options using in these scripts here

If you need to work with Interface windows and fullscreen mode try video_fullscreen=2

 

To enable video_fullscreen=2  you can:

 

Type the following commands in console:

video_fullsceen 2
video_restart

Or modify laucher script:

-video_fullscreen 1 -> -video_fullscreen 2
