DarkBASIC Discussion / Why can’t Firewall (a DB game) minimize without a glitch?

If you minimize Firewall, and then restore it, the screen flashes white/black with the robot figures leaving an imprint in the flashing. And if you minimize in the menu, all you can see is the background, and the buttons will become visible if you manage to put your invisible mouse over them.

Xander said it was something to do with DB, so why can't the game minimize?

Because it's run in full screen mode, which isn't very friendly with task switching (mostly on Nvidia cards). I haven't tried it yet, but use the .ini option to switch it over to a Window mode and see if that helps.

And if you're not sure how to do that, just put the attached file in the game's directory to enable the Window mode.

I just tried it and it works fine between applications. The game field may just not fill the entire screen when using it.
