Hey,

eyebo said to make a bug report about this, so here we go.

Everytime I start my game, and load into any map (online and offline), theres about an 80% chance my game goes to fullscreen windowed. Everytime, I have to reset this to fullscreen.
Sometimes, this happens during play after a few alt tabs as well and you have to reset it.
This is a widespread issue as reported on twitter in Karlberg's thread just now, and some guy even made an OpenPlanet plugin to work around it: Force Display Mode by Ze-Rax - Openplanet: (https://openplanet.dev/plugin/forcedisplaymode)

Something interesting to note here, which might be helpful for devs to figure out this issue is, that even with this plugin, the issue can still happen. The game will just say its in fullscreen, while its not, and you have to cycle to windowed and back for the lag to go away.

It is to note that I am using OpenPlanet with a few plugins. I have not tried it without.

Specs:
Windows 11
Intel i9 12900k
32GB DDR4-4400
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti
Xbox One Controller / PS5 Controller, both wired

If anymore info is needed, I can absolutely provide.

Hello @nns-evo thanks you for this bug report and welcome to the forums.

So your game display switches to Window mode quite often and including when you use alt and tab too to switch to different displays/programs.

As with any bug report, our devs will ask to check if players have tried testing if this issue occurs without OpenPlanet installed. Could you please try uninstalling this mod and testing if this occurs in the base version of the game, to check if this is caused by a conflict with OpenPlanet itself? Please let us know your findings afterwards?

@nns-evo Thanks for the update! As a next step for this issue, please try our troubleshooting guide here and be sure to also verify your game files. If the issue persists after trying those steps as well, could you grab a screenshot of your graphical settings so we can take a closer look? Thank you!

Sorry for the delay @nns-evo , thanks for getting back to us!

As something else to check, could you please open the game's config file; Documents\Trackmania\Config\Default.json.

Open this as a text file and ensure your Display Settings show "DisplayMode" : "fullscreen".

Save and ensure the file is a Read Only and relaunch the game to see if the issue then still persists.

Please let us know if you still the encounter the issue and if you do and are able to capture any video examples too it'd be appreciated!

Hey @boylerya

It's been difficult for us to pass this on for investigation without the requested information.

As per my previous post, could you please send us your system files via a case so we can forward these to the team?

And have you already attempted the troubleshooting / workarounds from this thread?

Thank you!
