Full Screen option
« on: 06.13.08 | 01:16 PM »
I was wondering how hard it would be to incorporate a full screen option for rokkitball. The reason is that when you play a game in windowed mode, it is much slower, you get much better fps in full screen. I am getting around 15-20 fps in Rokkitball. That is playable but it is very disappointing - A full screen option would give me at least twice that and a much better rokkitball experience. I think it would help everyones rokkitball performance and would help a little with lag.

They have it in legions and it works beautifully!

Thoughts?

If there was a vote and we only counted the opinions of you and I, fullscreen would be implemented in every IA game by the end of today. However, it doesn't really work like that. Legions is our first fullscreen game and we have to make sure the functionality is really right and solid before we even contemplate putting it into other games. Same thing goes with how leaderboards are only in Marble Blast right now. Once we have all the kinks worked out it can be evaluated for putting into other games.

Awesome thats good to hear, i think rokkitball could be pretty epic in full screen, any word on if Dedicated servers are coming to RB? hell if you guys need to charge for the game to get some extra features i don't mind Smiley

Fullscreen is what will truly put this game over the top in coolness and fun, I believe! Fullscreen is what I'm really waiting for with RB. Same with the several other peeps I play it with regularly. We hate playing in a small window and SO wish it had a FS option by default, like FE does. Oh well.

Just hope we're not looking at literal months here for that option to finally be added (assuming it even will be). I'm always hoping for a surprise every week on update day. Grin

OK, it has been a few months since this was posted. Since then the legions fullscreen function seems to be working perfectly. How is the full screen support for Rokkitball coming?

I am pretty postive that I will not have delayed input in full screen  Smiley

We are not totally out of the woods with Legions fullscreen. As such, it is not even being considered for Rokkitball at this time. We all agree that fullscreen on every game would be the cat's pajamas, it just isn't at that point yet.

They have not finished the legions full screen yet? Sure does take awhile to get full screen working  Undecided This would not be a big issue for me, but this delayed input really blows.

It isn't just about "finishing" the Legions fullscreen. Legions fullscreen is a prototype for the way fullscreen games will be handled on IA. After being polished in behavior and operation, that code has to be modularized and abstracted into an interface usable by all the other games. Otherwise you end up duplicating the whole process over and over again. It's not like there is one guy sitting in a room that goes, "Hey, Legions fullscreen works on 75% of players' machines, lets copy/paste the code into all our other games immediately!" Also, I'd like to see an actual fix for the delayed input rather than a hunch that fullscreen *might* fix it. That isn't a fix at all. What about players with delayed input for whom fullscreen is not an option? Real fixes for each issue are the order of the day.

It is not a hunch. There is no "*might*", past experiences tell me this. Everyone would like to see an actual 'fix' for this, but I don't see that happening any time soon (the issue was brought up months ago). 

Seems like full screen is going to take longer than expected. Hope you guys can get it worked out as soon as possible  Wink

I'm not sure who gave you the expectation that fullscreen should be at 100% right now, but please remove that expectation from your psyche. I too hope it can be worked out as soon as possible but there is no promise of what games may or may not eventually support fullscreen.

well, ZAP already got fullscreen option and it works great(you can even change resolution),so I think RB should get fullscreen(it should get something more than other games , afterall people have to pay to play it)

brings me to think about something... since legions is SO popular and RB had problems of popularity even before the pay to play... why didnt you put this paying system for legions before rokkitball? i mean it already had a good base, and ppl are addictive to it... your pay to play would have been good idea since ppl would have probably bought it more than RB right now... and for the ones who wouldnt have paid would probably have played rokkitball... so thats my opinion...
