Topic: White screen

Hi everybody,

One week ago, I've bought a new computer (because my old one doesn't function anymore, I need to tell it because this pc is worse than the old one, I mean less memory, worse graphic card, etc.)

I had a backup of my configurations, so I've just set them and started my client (my own one), I never play teeworlds full-screened (to see if there is any skype notification, and such things).

I use alt + tab to switch pages, and sometimes I click on the bottom right part of my screen, to minimize all the pages.

So when I do that, the client gets white. I've done some tests, like deleting the configurations, changing the client to take the official one, but no, nothing, it keeps being white when I click on the bottom right part, to minimize all the pages.

I took a screenshot to show you what does it do exactly (and no, there is nothing to do when this happens, except closing the client, for sure, if I'm mapping the map won't be saved, no configuration saves, etc, I mean just that I have to close it with a right-click and close.)

NB : I've done all the driver updates, nothing changed.

Re: White screen

Yeah, I don't have problems with alt+tab, but just while minimizing teeworlds.

Re: White screen

Could you give us more information about your hardware+system please?
You are using a notebook, do you run teeworlds with the IGPU or do you use a dedicated gpu?

Re: White screen

Yeah I use a notebook, IGPU I think, but how do I exactly see if it's a dedicated gpu or not ? hmm

Take all the needed informations here (and ask me if you need anything else) :

Re: White screen

You can play teeworlds on the iGPU intel HD Bay Trail?
This is amazing! yikes

For now, there is probably nothing you can do against this "bug".
I get also such bugs when using my iGPU intel hd 4000 (based on bay trail, but stronger).
Only switching to my dedicated GPU (your netbook doesnt have one) solves them..

Edit:
iGPU = "Integrated graphics processing unit" = your graphics card unit is on your cpu chip.
Those are mobile solutions, very efficient and cheap. But not for gaming.
dedicated GPU = Additional card for graphics only. This consumes more power, costs more money, but is more powerful (e.g. for gaming)

Re: White screen

Yeah I bought it for coding only, not gaming ;P My old pc was absolutely better than this, never lagged with it. But now... even firefox makes me lagging big_smile

So, if there is nothing to do against this "bug"... it's sad. hmm
