Full Screen Mode Broken

Hello, I've just found out that full screen mode (F10) doesn't work on most of my games, I just get a black screen. I'm guessing this has something to do with Windows 11. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems to only be my games that are affected.

@noggin-the-nog I'm on Windows 11 aswell now, and I can confirm that after going through a small handful of DizzyAGE including yours, I too get a black screen from Dizzy vs. Dizzy, The Jewel Thief and Sunken Castle.

I haven't been through all your games, but the ones I've mentioned are affected.

I think it might be a Windows 11 thing as it dislikes being in full screen for some emulators I use. {yolkfolk}:scratch:

Thanks Adam. Which other games are affected btw? Maybe they've got something in common.

Aside from the three I already mentioned, Don't Panic is another one affected.

The Snow Queen is the only one of your games that does show in full screen.

All the other DizzyAGE games I've tried, including the Russian ones by Rindex, Titus, trz and the others all work in full screen.

@khaosadz could you give me some info about grandad? I've seen that he was online few weeks ago and I have to contact him and ask about one of his games.

Hi Chlodnic 229

My email address is on all my games it's [email redacted]. Just email me and I'll see if I can help (my router acts up at odd moments and I get no internet... either that or it's windows 11 acting silly again!!!)

Thanks @khaosadz. It does sound like it's just my ones then. My WiP is affected too. {yolkfolk}:scratch:

Cześć, właśnie odkryłem, że tryb pełnoekranowy (F10) nie działa w większości moich gier, wyświetla się tylko czarny ekran. Podejrzewam, że ma to coś wspólnego z systemem Windows 11. Czy ktoś jeszcze to zauważył? Wygląda na to, że problem dotyczy tylko moich gier.
Check the video settings in the .ini file.
I tried the game "Dizzy vs. Dizzy," and indeed, a black screen appeared.
After changing the vsync option to 0 (it was 1) in the settings, the F10 key works normally.

Thank you! That's extremely helpful. I can even remember now why I set vsync to 1 in the first place.
