Full Screen bug?

[savagegreywolf]

Hi, I bought Satazius at launch, and never really had any problems with it. I'm writing this on behalf of my dad, who loves shmups as well. I recommended the game to him and he purchased it, however when he launches full screen mode the image does not stretch to the screen, instead remaining at the default window size surrounded by black. If he launches it in Windowed mode he is able to stretch the window out till it is a much larger size and the image stretches along with it, however the game does not save this and he has to do it each time he launches.

I don't have any information about his system, I'd have to get it and post it later. However I was just wondering if perhaps this issue had ever been encountered by anyone else and if maybe someone had a fix that might help.

Hi, I will make a guess that your dad has one of those ATI cards and it is on his laptop. Maybe not a laptop, but ATI nontheless. He may have upgraded the system to windows at some point.

I just think that may be the case because I had the same problem when windows 7 came out. I had a laptop with ATI on-board graphics. Laptop by Toshiba. After upgrading the laptop to windows 7 this exact issue started happening. No matter which game I tried to ran in full screen there would always be this issue with black border and the game not upscaling to the right size.

I searched all the forums and posts on the internet. Looks like this is something that no one can figure out how to fix because some of the laptop manufacturers had these proprietary ATI cards which do not work well with games and Windows 7.

Sorry about that if that is the case. Would be interesting if any of the things I guessed are true.

Savagegreywolf - sorry to hear that. That's the first time we've heard of the problem and we don't have a definite cause or fix to provide.

Does it sound like it might be the issue that AntiFear raised?
