Issues running TDM on a tablet


brethren

Recommended Posts

Hey - picked up a Surface Pro recently, and was looking forward to running TDM on it. The problem is, when I fire it up, I'm only getting the upper left section of the the game screen. Any ideas what might cause this? It's running on Windows 8.1, and has an i5 processor and 4 GB of memory.

Hmmm, no matter what res I use, the screen looks the same (as above). My desktop resolution is 1920x1080. This was a fresh/new install, btw.

 

Other games have worked OK, although I've only tried a few. Grabbing the Hexen demo now to try out another id tech 4 game.

I've seen this exact problem before, but it was probably back in 2009 and I don't even remember what the system was or if I was even ever able to fix it. I don't think so, and that's probably why I don't remember. At some point I just got a new laptop and played it on that ever since.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

There are two suggested fixes for another game in this thread. I can't test whether they work with TDM as I don't have a tablet, but might be worth a shot:

One is to change the surface's default 150% dpi to 100%, the other is to switch off the full screen setting which apparently still results in full display).

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
