fullscreen doesn't work

Post by miles »

i cannot get exult to work in fullscreen mode with any combination of resolution and scaler.. they run in a window fine but my eyes don't after awhile. i'm running exult 1.0 on XP professional, with a geforce 2 GTS and a sound blaster live! platinum.

downloading exult made my week :)

check your graphics card drivers. Have you tried the in-game menu? What happens when you try to run fullscreen? Don'T use a resolution that exceeds your monitors capabilities. Try reducing or increasing color depth...

If you have a laptop, some LCD monitor's drivers don't seem to like to work with Exult on full screen.

If your using 800 X 600 and a 17 inch moniter then the screen will go black
if your not in windowed mode. I recomend the 320 X 240 mode with super eagle X2. It gives you a little bigger picture but it doesn't give evything away. By the way thank you Exult team for making U7 playable on modern computers and OSs. U7 is and always will be my favorite Ultima.
