Post problem with fulllscreen and 1x window
When ever I try to set it to fullscreen or 1x window the screen goes black except for the tool bar and the bar at the top of the screen (I don't know what it's called) having 2x window makes it really laggy. I have tried reinstalling several times. Please help me!

I use to be able to play 1024x768 Fullscreen on build 21, now I cannot.
I'm posting in this thread, not to hijack it, but because I think the issues are related.

edit settings.ini
nXWindowed is how many times the pixels are multiplied, set to 1 for normal, 2 for double, 3 for triple, etc.
and you can set your resolution X and Y there too.

Right, I can change to any resolution and certain resolutions will allow 2x and others won't.
Any when I try fullscreen, which is what I want, it doesn't work for any of the resolutions.
I'm starting to take Build 21 for granted... :(

nXWindowed only works if the screen will still fully fit on the desktop after the enlargement.

I don't know about the fullscreen issue - suffice it to say your video driver/the quirks of allegro has to support it...for example my 17" LCD won't do 1280x720 for some reason even though it's technically capable of displaying it (with horrible scaling)

and on the other hand, my laptop displays everything up to its maximum 1280x720 without a quirk.
have you tried updating your drivers? its not a bad thing to do every once in a while..

My maximum working resolution available for all applications and the desktop is 1600 x 1200. Infact thats the resolution my desktop is using. And yes I have updated my drivers to no avail.

I can use fullscreen in Build 21, but 22 just rejects it. I hope the developers take this into account. Until then I'll have to play 640 x 480 on 2x :/

Now to figure out the key assignment issue...
