My game doesn't work on friend's PC
« on: July 30, 2010, 01:49:19 pm »
My game works fine on my PC and my notebook. It has an INI where you can set your stuff. By default, it's like this:
Code: [Select]
[Rendering]
Windowed=1
Width=1022
Height=900

[Audio]
Sound=1
Music=1


If Windowed is 1, the game creates a WidthxHeight window.
If Windowed is 0, the game creates a fullscreen WidthxHeight window.

If my friend starts the game with Windowed 1, the window doesn't appear, but the music starts.

If my friend starts the game with Windowed 0, the tiles are way too small for his resolution.

Why isn't a window created with Windowed 1?

You should check error messages in the standard error output, SFML certainly tells you what happens.

For example, 1022x900 is probably not a valid fullscreen resolution.

But it actually works only in fullscreen. It's the windowed mode that doesn't work.

Yes it works, but SFML automatically switches to a valid resolution. So what you get is not what you expect.

What are the valid fullscreen resolutions? All 4:3 / 16:9 / 16:10 work?

You can obtain the valid fullscreen resolutions by calling sf::VideoMode::GetFullscreenModes().

This is for SFML 2.0, for 1.6 look at this page:
