Win10 OpenScreen Error.

Post by divsalv »

As the title I have encountered this bug on Win 10 64bit, while first with win 7 64bit always worked perfectly.
The error occurs when you use Mode = "Fullscreen"

This is a known problem with Windows 10 and currently under investigation.

I just found out that adding before @DISPLAY,
@REQUIRE "Glgalore", the problem disappears.

This is just because GL Galore uses a custom display adapter which uses entirely different code to set up a full screen display.

This was a bug in Hollywood which unfortunately only shows on Windows 10. It has been fixed now. As a workaround until the next update, just specify a hard-coded screen depth, e.g.

Code: Select all

@DISPLAY {Mode = "FullScreen", ScrDepth = 32}
Then it will work on Windows 10 as well. Using a screen depth of 32 is reasonably safe since almost all systems run in 32-bits nowadays.
