'Fullscreen exclusive' mode not too exclusive on Windows

Open getphobo opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

So I have this issue with the 'fullscreen exclusive' mode on Windows that was introduced with the 1.1.1 update which happens to be not very much exclusive.

It fails to properly switch away from the desktop resolution and refresh rate. The main reason seems to be that all it does is to change the actual desktop resolution instead of having the game run inside an environment of its own, leaving the desktop settings alone.

Another issue is that it chooses to run at the desktop refresh rate even if the driver setting for the game is to choose the highest available refresh rate which then causes the game to run within the desktop resolution's signal (since that's how it works, at least on Windows) instead of a native signal from the defined lower resolution.

I can imagine fixing this issue might become extremely bothersome, so my suggestion would be to add a feature that allows the refresh rate to be chosen from within the PsyDoom launcher (and a corresponding command line option). That way, a native 'low-res, high refresh rate' setting would become available.

The ability to set the refresh rate is now added following 03377d020a12e14b8b4b1b480d3a4d7aa95fcca2 and 7d23eb5e4dfbc8c4104edad866a303768ca30f4d.
