Windowed Mode problems

[Remixful]

Hai! Sorry to bother, but I have a few problems with windowed mode. I've tried multiple resolutions, including the default (1024 x 768) and my screen's resolution (1980 x 1080). And yes, fullscreen mode does somewhat work (besides the constant blinking the game makes...)

So, when I start up the game, the GUI isn't functioning correctly and it's very weird. For example: I cannot click any buttons whatsoever in the game.

This is where the window is positioned when I start the game. I try to click any button (for example, the one circled in red) and nothing happens.
One way to get close to solving this is either moving the window all the way to the top left, or maximizing. But, either way, I cannot click the buttons at their actual position. There's like an offset... (I would have to move my mouse a bit higher than the actual button.)

So does anyone know how to solve this?

Sorry, I'm not good at explaining things ;3;

You shouldn't be able to maximise the window at all. Have you modified the game dlls (monogame, opentk) or windows itself somehow?

Nope, I only edited the config. I have windows 8 btw.

Here's the config:

Have you tried any earlier builds and what build is this anyway?

 

[Rhys]

I have no idea why this would be happening, as the game has been run on incredibly varying hardware and nobody else has had an issue like this. What is your graphics card?

I have the latest build. (build #154)

AMD Radeon HD 7640G

What does the ScaleUI property do?

I'm assuming it's supposed to scale the UI to the resolution or whatever. It doesn't really make a difference for me in windowed mode.

 

[Rhys]

It doesn't do anything. It's a leftover from forever ago.

AMD Radeon HD 7640G

Nobody I know has had an AMD Radeon for the past like, 6 years? It should be feature compatible either way, and considering it's a problem with the windowing and input this seems to be a opentk/monogame issue at its core. Try running some other monogame projects to see if they have the same issue (opentk game window being resizable, maximizable and failing to register input), there should be some freely available.

what kind of drugs are you on

EDIT: You meant ATi right?

I mean everyone and their dog uses Nvidia + Intel now.

I thought you meant they didn't exist.
Also, you're right: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ - it's worse than I thought:

P.S. I don't have a dog )))

I can run other games just fine. I used to make games in monogame, in fact. I have the same exact laptop I've had since I've first joined project dollhouse, and I didn't have problems with windowed mode before. I haven't used Freeso until recently (about 2 weeks ago), since I've been gone from these forums for about 6 months or so.

If you'd like to get me a new graphics card or new laptop/pc, feel free to. :3

 

[Rhys]

Since Project Dollhouse not much has been changed on the front level (Game, creation and management of window) except the Monogame version (3.2 to 3.4). Can you try one of the games you made in monogame again with 3.4?
