Fullscreen problem with X:BTF and X:Tension

Post by Primer »

Just bought the X-superpack in steam but when I tried the 2 first games of the series, they have a problem with fullscreen.
They show always the borders of the window. Tried minimizing and maximizing the game, alt+enter, changing between windowed and fullscreen in the options, but no solution.

I have windows 8 64-bits and 1920x1200 resolution.

Yes, we discovered the same thing when testing with Windows 8 when it was released. We don't have a solution yet either.

what is the optimal resolution for running the orignal games. I run windows 7 32bit with a current screen resolution of 2560 x 1400 but neither games works correctly :cry:

XBTF works at 1920x1200 fullscreen without having to reduce my resolution from 2560x1400 :cry:

X-Tension only works at 1920x1200 fullscreen when reducing down from 2560x1400, although it shows support for 2560x1400 it dosn't work. :cry:

i hope these can be fixed, love the old as much as the new. :)

although it would be cool to see a X Beyond the Frontier/X-Tension Remastered version, with higher res textures etc. :)

Sorry for bump, but I thought I will finally be able to play X:BtF on my new system, because it was laggy on the old one (although it is way enough for a 99' game). Instead I got this fullscreen bug also, and the fps is decreased aswell. Please fix this Egosoft, there are also some people playing the old X games!

I also just bought the super pack. and i'm having the same problem with the game running only in windowed mode regardless of compatibility settings. I'm running Windows 8.1 x64. not off to a great start for me. And i'm not playing in windowed mode. Can you please supply a date when this will be resolved? otherwise i'll be seeking a refund. thanks.
