full screen mode wont take!?

just a side note, OpenGL still appears limited in the resolutions it supports, When I try to run it at 1280x1024 it will come up in windowed mode regardless.

In windowed mode? Have you turned this off and changed it to full screen in your ryzom config before starting the game?

read my post in this thread, it works for me

Yes I have set for full screen, and yes I have tried your method thexdane. My card just seems to like Direct3d better than OpenGL. I haven't been up to OpenGL's developer forums to see what they have to say yet so I will continue seeking a way to play OpenGL in full screen mode ,

Just noted that cat 4.11 is posted, checked my system and I am 4.09 so first step is to upgrade <oops> Then I'll go talk with the OpenGL gang.

yes but do you have it set in full screen outside the game (in ryzom config) as well as in? Also, are your size settings the same in config as in game? As far as OpenGL I have as of yet not been able to find a way to make OpenGL play in full screen without having to reset the size and the boxes. One thing I haven't tried with Ryzom (I did have to do this with EQ because my computer didn't like having two games with settings and it worked to keep EQ the right size) is to actually reset the screen size with the buttons on your monitor once in game.

I have piddled with the Ini, I can look back to that again, but I seem to have a driver update to deal with first....

Actually at lunch I went home, my settings are in the client.cfg file. I run all games at native resolution to my LCD monitor 1280x1024.

Similar problem, and none of the fixes mentioned help. I've just created a Trial account, and can't get into full screen, and can't see the top part of the game window, and the mouse cursor keeps stalling. Doesn't matter if I choose DX or OGL. Maybe I could change it ingame, but I can't get in to try it with the screen cut off like it is.

More importantly, and I apologize that it's off topic in this thread, is there any actual tech support for this game other than the forum? Email??? Phone??? All I see on the Support page is a chat client that doesn't load (no doubt another example of SP2 gimping my system for my own good). Or, do the devs ever respond to problems posted in the forums?
