Bug Description

Binary package hint: warzone2100

I would start playing the game. then every 5 to ten mins my screen would change from full to windowed and then back after 10 seconds by it self. it you killed the game when it was windowed you'd be stuck with a small screen size + you desktop but youd have to srcoll to see it all unless X got restarted.

I'm running 7.10 x64, NV GF6200 LE 256Mb, PC ram 512Mb, AMD64 2800+

the workaround I saw in a post was
adding a menu shortcut with "warzone2100 --resolution 1024x768" ( or what every your current desktop size it )

Hi,

I am seeing this as well I think.

At certain points in the play the game would lose full screen for a few seconds,
and in this time it would be seen as a normal window on the desktop. It is
still sort of playable there. After a few seconds the game would be fullscreen
again as normal (though once when I tried to scroll right it would scroll "off"
the game and show me my magnified desktop).

I didn't try the suggested workaround.

I have similar specs to the reporter (with Nvidia), but I am on i386.

Thanks,

James

Most likely this bug is caused by compiz. I can't play any games until I disable it. Please tell what version of Ubuntu you're using and if compiz is enabled for you. Test more games, I don't think that warzone is causing the problem.
