Can't create character in windows mode

Post by rburbank »

When I log on I am in windows mode at character creation (twirling question mark and smaller windows on left). I can not see the full screen area...and therefore can not activate my character creation.....I have NO BUTTONS in view. I saw other thread that says windows mode goes away AFTER you begin.....but I can not get beyond the spinning question marks

Set your task bar on the bottom to automatically collapse and to not be on top. Don't worry, the game plays without the window artifacts.

Or try adjusting your desktop resolution and/or Ryzom resolution. Try setting your desktop resolution to 1024x768 or higher if your monitor can handle it (it'll go black and then return to normal as long as you don't touch anything while it's black, if your monitor can't handle the resolution that is).

Changing Ryzom resolution from outside the game:

1) Click "Start->All Programs (for WinXP)->Ryzom->Configure Ryzom"
2) Click the bold text that says, "Display".
3) In the area labeled "Parameters" put a 'dot' next to "Fullscreen".
4) Click the "Specify a video mode:" field and select a resolution that is lower than what it is currently set to (e.g. if it is at 1024x768, then set it to 800x600).
5) Click "Apply"
6) Click "Ok"
7) Launch Ryzom again...

Hopefully, you should be able to see the in-game buttons now...

Hope this helps, and gets ya pointed in the right direction ... :)

I'm having the same problem. In the config file it is set to full screen mode and it comes up in windows mode only. I've tried changing resolutions both in and out of game but the game always loads in windowed mode.

Ryzom stays in windowed mode until you get into the actual game. If changing the game's resolution doesn't work, then try increasing your Windows desktop resolution to 1 notch higher than what you currently have it set to. For example, if your desktop is set to 1024x768... then try bumping it up to 1280x960... or whatever the next higher resolution is for your system.

Thanks ALL....your help is appreciated. The increased windows resolution did the trick. If You see "Ptol" running around on Atys, please say hello.
