Hi!
In the acklog.txt file


what does -ta do (info not in manual under "Starting the Engine" )


And

How can I prevent this situation from happening


Ottawa

The -ta option means that the engine was started by SED.

And you can prevent a resolution that fails by using a resolution that works.

Hi jcl!

Thanks for the info about -at

I'm using
video_mode = 7; // start resolution 800 x 600
as the first line of my main ()
and the manual says its first 800x600, then 720x480
Is Vista and wide screen responsible for the 720x480?
I'm not using this resolution anywhere and this black spot,
before the game starts, is not happening on my regular monitor.

Again thanks for taking the time.

video_mode 7 is normally 720x480 - see manual. For enforcing 800x600, you must set video_aspect to 4:3, or set the screen size directly to 800x600.

Hi jcl!

Thanks

Will do.
