Topic: Few Teeworlds Bugs

I'm using Windows 7 with Teeworlds 0.6.2 client.

-Wrong V-sync factor (or just stuck to 30) is used after alt-tabbing, but only sometimes
My monitor refresh rate is 60, but too often (happens about 25-50% alt-tabs), Teeworlds goes into 30 FPS. With V-sync off, my FPS is in the 1000's, so it's not my computer's power problem. (my computer is a tank)

-Mouse capture after alt-tab
After alt-tabbing out of Teeworlds to go into other applications/desktop, the mouse, too often, gets stuck to the middle of the screen. Alt-tabbing in and out of Teeworlds few times is the only fix.

-Inability to start StarCraft 2 while Teeworlds window is active
Why is the graphics driver unavailable for other application? While I DotA, SC2 opens just fine, but when I have Teeworlds focused, nothing else opens.

-Window focus switch problems
Huge tear goes across the screen when alt-tabbing in and out of other games from Teeworlds.

Not a bug, but why does this exist?

Also not a bug, but setting UI color for alpha does not seem to change the alpha of the scoreboard.

Re: Few Teeworlds Bugs

About the alt-tab "bugs", I don't think they will be any "fix". The thing with graphics driver not being able to start while Teeworlds is full screen isn't something new, I get it often when I try to start sc2 with other fullscreend games. I guess DotA is just special.

About the "this", the console, is probably just there for debugging purposes - you can also see the chat. This is available ingame by pressing f1, and some OS have a way to start Teeworlds without console.

Not Luck, Just Magic.

Re: Few Teeworlds Bugs

Some of the bugs that happen when teeworlds acts as window will hopefully be fixed if teeworlds adopts SDL2. The console can be hidden if you pass "--silent" as command line argument, I think you can do so if you configure the link.

Re: Few Teeworlds Bugs

Dune: You make it sound like the problem is SC2. Though I won't say it is or isn't (could also be mutual) however, I have the same problem with Teeworlds with other games. Plus, DotA still gets a tear across the screen when it starts while Teeworlds is running.

heinrich5991: Thank you very much. Everyone should know this!
