PR 1.0 BETA Bugs with windowed mode (broadcast record)

[BadMad]

All bugs were experienced with "windowed mode"(not full screen):
Video Link
- When just being revived, after wounding or taking fire/taking injuries the only effect is "fade to black" instead of blurring/blood effects, etc.(18:43, 20:16, 38:35, 38:46, 51:40, 52:36, 01:14:16)
- When scoping with Chinese Officer kit(on Black Gold Inf Layer) - "fade to black" instead of scope reticle mask(23:35, 01:00:49)
- All the ground textures are transparent(except statics) - tried to fix it with clearing "Cache" folder - didn't help.Still transparent textures on all maps and seems like a WH in game).(since 4:00 - till the end)
- When sitting in Stationary AT(chinese HJ-8 ) (on Black Gold Inf) with turned "thermal mode" on, you can see nothing except scope reticle and "thermal color mask" and players nickname tags (56:30, 57:29)


- As well, windowed mode doesn't place game-screen correctly, when game is launched, so I have to correct it with the mouse(wich is not the best way to do this good enough)
2:25 on Video 2
Unlike the previous versions, where I could set up windowed mode by myself, with changing properties of PR Icon. And now I can not do like this because of Launcher, and its icon's properties are not allowed to be changed - it will cause an error and PR won't run..

- "Auto deploy" doesn't work correctly - when you set up amount of players to Connect, it still shows up 100 players instead of your's amount number.(Experienced with a lot players and doesn't depend on windowed mode)

its a bf2 issue when you cant use ANY custom resolution instead of default variants like 1920x1080 / 1600 x 900 etc

At least I have to know how to set it up by myself, instead of correcting the game-screen with the mouse.
In previous versions I had such opportunity by correcting the icon properties with exact resolution settings.Now I can't, cause PR is running by Launcher, but not the Icon.

[sirfstar]

edit: if you mean the position of window then its not the thing causing the glitches, only resolution do, as 1440x900 is not supported by bf2 properly.

[BadMad]

One more issue (not related to the windowed mode):
- When you check "Server info" of any server, it shows only 35 players by side, even if there are much more on the server.
Checked both servers - only 35 players max by side can be seen, no more then that.

i have no problem with windowed mode.
to fit up the icons(i think u mean correct place of buttons in the menu) just edit custom resolution. subtract the top bar of the window from the vertical px.
for example:
native res=1920x1080
custom res=1920x1060(according to the size of the top bar)



double-click on topbar of window will center it
(or drag it to upper border of desktop win7+)

PS: it's a BF2-Issue

I use this tool with the windowed mode.

Play all your games in Windowed borderless mode. - Steam Users' Forums

It makes the borders go away and I can play in "fullscreen" but with the features of windowed mode - alt tab while loading and seamless alt tabbing in the game.

The only bad thing is that I manually need to alter the resolution in the tool to 1920*1080 for some reason.

[Pesticide]

yes, on nvidia cards you need to reduce your vertical with about 20 pixels below your native rez, fixed my problems

[BadMad]

Thanks for help, guys.

I hope, other bugs will be fixed soon, to make me(and other players with same issues) able playing in windowed mode as always.

It didn't help by the way..
It doesn't work at all - I set up ANY options(for example, the same I had before 1.0 Beta) - and the game DO nothing - window still appears as in broadcast video - in 4-5 centimeters lower in the right side of the screen.

[AfterDune]

only resolution do, as 1440x900 is not supported by bf2 properly.

1440x900 works perfectly fine. Whenever I play in windowed mode, this is often the resolution I'm using. Works really well, nothing's distorted in anyway. I reckon it's the same in fullscreen mode.
