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 .. "What's a furry?"<br />"WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF"
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.
🜲 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. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop

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. http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/3600/lolrootxs2.pngSHOCK> polix audry said she would fuck u if u lived in quebecPoLiX> eh, if she's a frenchy, no go---------------------------Aarbear> and btw, I dun think swear words are bad... they are just manmade words afterall Aarbear> bible doesn't say to not say fuck---------------------------help: (BrAnDnew) (dtq): KNIGHT IS A COCK SUCKING ######---------------------------Makavelii> for soem reason i think pussy will taste like vinigar/salt/starburst

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. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop

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
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. "What's a furry?"<br />"WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF"

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. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
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.
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! "What's a furry?"<br />"WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF"
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
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. "What's a furry?"<br />"WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF"
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. "What's a furry?"<br />"WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF"
