Loading screen off-center when starting Doomsday

sonicdoommario

This is an issue I have had since the 1.15 unstable builds. Sometimes, when starting Doomsday, I notice that the loading screen is off the center of the screen, which causes the entire game to be off-center. The only two ways I can get around this is to either press F11 twice (to turn off and then re-enable fullscreen) or to close and reopen Doomsday and hope the issue goes away.

If this is a video card/driver-related issue, I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti, with the latest driver on it.

If desktop and game resolution is a problem, I run my desktop at 1920x1080 and Doomsday at 1280x1024.

Thanks.

I don't believe this is video card/driver specific as I've seen it happen myself and heard reports from users with a few different systems. My guess is that this occurs when running at a different resolution to the desktop due to a display mode change that isn't completing quick enough before the UI begins laying out widgets.

Does the same occur if you start up Doomsday at your desktop resolution?

Changed my Doomsday resolution to my desktop resolution (1920x1080), tried several times, and didn't get the problem.

Switched Doomsday back to 1280x1024 and got the problem on the first attempt.

Please submit a bug report so the next time I'm doing stuff on Windows I'll remember to check it out.
