Full screen or not?
« on: December 23, 2008, 07:55:13 pm »
Hey, I just wanted to run a small poll, to see how many people play Soldat full screen'ed, and how many do not.

I used to play it always full screen, and then I switched to non full screen and I liked it alot better; what about the rest of you?  ;)

Thanks, please feel free to discuss about this some more if you have any input.

the fps gets way higher with windowed, and alt tabing is a lot faster.

I play fullscreen, but I really don't mind it being the other way.

I still think it takes a little while to get used to it, after you have been so used to full screen. ;)

Full screen. I've never tried Window mode (which I believe would look much smaller), but I'm extremely annoyed with Alt Tabbing with Full screen.

In fact a lot of game should have window mode. Like Diablo or Starcraft for example [lol @ trying to blast spider mines in window mode].

Just tried it, runs pretty smooth, it's faster and sexier, although everything is too small and therefore I can't knife.

Full Screen.

In full screen, I somehow always get a heavy lag.... So I just play in window.

Other way around with me.  I seem to be able to knife better in window.

As for you Tehsnipah, you're speed at posting is incredible.  Not sure about your lag though. ;)

Diablo 2 can be played in windowed mode by adding -w as a run parameter. Not implemented for Starcraft though. :/

And I play Soldat windowed with 93% stretching, which is as high as I can go without it going off the top or under the taskbar. Stretching, IMO, looks better than using a higher resolution, and I like the smaller screenshots. :D

Full Screen of course, it's easier to consentrate on the game and windowed mode is plain annoying for some reason. And I don't alt+tab while playing, so it doesn't get on my nerves.

Okay, stop capitalising random letters, it hurts the eyes. Always fullscreen!!

Merry Christmas!
