Maniaplanet Forum

At least since I have new video card (Gainward Phantom GTX970, with nVidia WHQL drivers 344.75),
at the start of ManiaPlanet, there is first a black screen with a white rectangle in the upper left corner.
Apparently ManiaPlanet is always started first in a window, which is then resized to fullscreen or window fullscreen, depending on the settings.

Using ManiaPlanet_Logs.exe, I was able to set the execution window mode to "Maxmized",
and then a white screen appears before it turns black to show the game login menu.

But I was not able to do the same for ManiaPlanet.exe.

Please change the background of this window to black.

Hint for the developers, in the logfiles I can see a difference...

Window execution "Normal":

[Gbx] Window created
[Input] DirectInput initialized. 2 devices found.

Window exectution "Maximized":

[Gbx] Window created
[Win32] WM_SIZE=MAXIMIZED(2 560x1 378)
[Input] DirectInput initialized. 2 devices found.

Window exectution "Minimized" (doesn't work at all btw.):

[Gbx] Window created
[Win32] WM_SIZE=MINIMIZED(0x0)
[Win32] Minimized
[Input] DirectInput initialized. 2 devices found.

Surprisingly the "maximized" window is only 1378 pixels high, not 1440 as it should normally be with my screen...

I already reported this bug here.
I can't understand why NADEO released its software with such an ugly glitch. For me it's just as bad as the oval Maniaplanet logo on a non 16:9 monitor.
NADEO should really better test a new build on different PC configurations before release it.

Sorry for the double post then

Actually we (the community) are doing those tests, but not all reports are acknowledged and even less get fixed.
