Fedora 16: Game crashes in fullscreen, how to window?
Posted: 06 Jun 2012, 13:48
Hey everyone!
I should probably start by appologising for asking what feels like a newbie question, but I've looked on both wikis, searched the support forums and tinkered around myself trying to find an answer and so far have had no luck!
When I first installed TMW it appeared to work fine, but as soon as I clicked fullscreen in the setup options the game went to a white screen with random coloured pixels all over it and faded to pure white. I swapped to a CLI and killed the process but the screen was still white when I swapped back to the desktop so I had to swap back to the CLI to shutdown and restart.
So now I want to know, how do I change the game back to running in a window without being able to get into the in-game settings? I found this wiki post which appears to be the file I'm after, but is obviously out of date now as the directory does not exist on my system and the page was updated years ago! I can't find anything on the new wiki, 'tmw' doesn't exist as a command in Terminal for me, 'mana --help' doesn't mention a window command and the config file in '/home/USERNAME/.config/mana/manasource/config.xml' doesn't appear to have a window/fullscreen option either. I've also tried reinstalling the game, but the fullscreen setting stayed so that didn't help either.
System specs are:
OS: Fedora 16
Kernal: 3.3.7-1.fc16.i686
Mana World client version: v0.5.2
CPU: Intel Atom 1.6GHz
RAM: 1GB
Graphics: Intel Mobile (of some kind, I think. I'm not sure how to check in Fedora)
I'm very new to Linux in general, so please bare with me! Thanks in advance for your help!
