Cheese Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 so i play fullscreen, and when i alt tab out the chat window comes up in a new windowthats cool, except it doesnt come up maximized, meaning it doesnt remember how it was beforei know theres a way to make it 'remember' how it was before, because i used to have it that way, but no longerpretty annoying to have to hit maximize literally every time i use the chat window anyone know anything about this?

PlayWolf Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 You know.. My game client used to move itself out from being behind my status bar.. Now I have to move it every time I enter a zone. Uhm, cheese.. I unusually just size it myself and it usually remembers .. Quote
Jareth Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 The chat window properties are written to the registry in HKCU/Software/Continuum/Chat. You may be having write issues to the registry. Quote
Samapico Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Windows 7? Might have to run Continuum as administrator or something... at least once, just so it writes these to the registry... That makes me realize... my resolution keeps resetting itself whenever I start the client or come back to the main screen after Esc-Q, it's probably the same issue. I'll have to try it out. Quote
Shock Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 That makes me realize... my resolution keeps resetting itself whenever I start the client or come back to the main screen after Esc-Q, it's probably the same issue. I'll have to try it out. That's stored in your profile settings. Just open your profiles and set your default resolution and it should save it. Quote

I'll have to try it out. That's stored in your profile settings. Just open your profiles and set your default resolution and it should save it.I set the resolution to 1920x1080 for all my profiles (instead of , which should use whatever the default setting is), and it still won't set the resolution properly. I have to manually switch profile for it to set properly (i.e. 'End', 'Home' to select next/previous profile). Then I can enter with the right resolution, but if I esc-Q, the resolution in the 'Resolution' menu sets itself back to 1600x1024. Hmm, I just checked the register, and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Continuum\State\ResolutionX / Y seem to define the current resolution used. But in my case, it seems to be correctly changing. It's just the selected resolution switches back to 1600x1024... hmm...It happens both with windowed and fullscreen. I have 2 monitors, but my second one is 1440x900, so it's probably unrelated?It's weird, anyway. Quote
CRe Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 @Sama: I have the same problem. Check Show Default Resolutions + Software Emulation. Quote
Samapico Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 @Sama: I have the same problem. Check Show Default Resolutions + Software Emulation.Bleh... just Show Default Resolution did the trick... thought I had tried that before Thanks Quote
Avast Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) @Sama: I have the same problem. Check Show Default Resolutions + Software Emulation.Bleh... just Show Default Resolution did the trick... thought I had tried that before Thanks I have a problem where when I alt tab, it's very slow entering fullscreen. It enters okay, but it sort of hangs there and then finally the game shows 1 minute later.Then when I alt tab it does the same thing in reverse, and disconnects me from the game. I end up with the ticker, and the alt tab works, but I am disconnected. So if it's a graphics issue why is it affecting my connection to the game servers? Anyway I also have similar issues playing spore. This all started with windows 7 SP1 update. Windows 7 basically sucks, I always have some issue with it. I also updated my graphic driver recently, but seems fine. Of course it all fixes when I restart my computer, but eventually it comes back. Edited March 22, 2011 by Avast Quote
PlayWolf Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Graphics issue? Something bazaar happens to mine when I enter in continuum in full screen.. it's like looking at the colors in oil.. as much as I can explain it.. it goes in.. flashes and colors go berserk. So I have to use windowed mode, turned on chat window always on so that I can minimize continuum and still get that chat window. Now and then my drivers would mess up, always a simple reset would work. Other then that, I have not found other problems yet. Besides that problem where I take screen shots.. the client screen goes black and ends up taking a black screen shot. Quote

I end up with the ticker, and the alt tab works, but I am disconnected. So if it's a graphics issue why is it affecting my connection to the game servers? Well, the CPU spike that occurs by restoring the fullscreen window takes too long, and the game cannot communicate with the server properly during that time, resulting in a large lag spike. And depending on the server settings, these can disconnect you. That's why I play windowed... switching back and forth to other windows isn't a problem. You should make sure the game's resolution is the same as your desktop. If it has to change resolution when restoring, it only makes it worse. Quote
Avast Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Wolfie I used to have your problem. But it was on XP. Not sure how I fixed it. =/ Probably fixed it by getting windows 7 and whole new set of OS vs Subspace issues. LOL Thank you sam, so it could be a slow processor, or some graphic issue. Definitely my resolutions don't match. Quote
PlayWolf Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Not really sure what it is.. but at least working continuum on windowed works just fine. Don't have to worry about them pop-ups! Quote
Avast Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Not really sure what it is.. but at least working continuum on windowed works just fine. Don't have to worry about them pop-ups! windowed has no ticker though, and resolution is different =/ can't copy and paste anything either Quote
PlayWolf Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 I have my chat window set to always on, so I can copy and paste, and also click links that have been posted with no problem at all. Quote
Avast Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Nice thanks, maybe I'll give it another try Quote
PlayWolf Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Yea, you just have to make sure you minimize the main client first for it to pop up. Quote
