Fullscreen Mode (OS X)
Thursday, December 27, 2012 - 13:33
Hello,
i very like the game Flare, but i have a problem!
In the options i switched the fullscreen mode to on and now the game crash every time i start it!
First the display is black for a second and then this error message appears:
I deleted the app two times and installed it again, but the problem is there, again. (I also tried to delete all the files with 'AppCleaner')
I use the newest Mac Mini with OS X Mountain Lion and Intel HD Graphics 4000. (And sorry for my english, it's not my mother tongue)
Sincerely yours, Patrick.
Speaking of issues with OSX, FLARE does not scale properly on Retina displays, although this may be an issue with XQuartz.
Well, have anyone an idea, how i can reset the fullscreen mode setting oder delete all game and XQuartz files?
I only want to play Flare again... :(
Your settings file should be located at:
~/.config/flare/settings.txt
If you edit this file, you should see fullscreen=1 somewhere in there. Change this to 0 and you can play in windowed mode. You might also need to change resolution_w and resolution_h to lower values, since I think this crash has something to do with a limitation in SDL.
We've known about this bug for a while, so I recommend keeping an eye on this Github issue for any fix we might come up with:
