What is this about a Mac? It's a burger right? Thus how do you play Wolfy on that? :roll:

Parrot,

I'll take a stab at it.....thought I don't have MAC available to experiment on.

I would suspect that when you are running in full screen mode the adjustments made to the graphics display are applied across the entire display. When you are running in window'd mode, then the adjustments you make are only applied to the display within the window.

Tell me if I am wrong in the above assumptions.

If my above assumptions are right, then the way the behavior acts is probably due to the way the video driver is written, or the way the hardware is setup to manage memory and video processing. When running in windowed, two definition pipes are probably in play (1 for the adjusted window display and 1 for the remaining 2D desktop).

I have had similar problems on my nvidia card on my PC laptop when playing wolf and I now just use the hardware gamma adjust directly on the video card and bypass wolf settings all together. This means extra work for me when I start wolf and when I exit, but it applies the changes across the entire display like you would expect and is predictable.

Hope this helps...

check ur config to make sure it is set to a fullscreen or window mode. open it with notepad or whatever the hell a mac would use. find the line that would have some fullscreen value and see what it is set too. i believe the option for this is available the very first time you install and setup the game.

I think It might be your settings on your vid-card, that same shit was happening to me and after i messed around with all my resolution settings as well as color and the other tweakable setting, it was fine, but it did take me awile to figure it out
