EVE Online Forum

Running eve in a fresh installed bottle on the latest beta of 6.2.0 in leopard here. Setup crossover to use space 3. the game starts fullscreened, but the mouse wont go below an imaginary line at 1/3rd up the screen. what i have to do is start the game, restore from full screen, change the game setting to windowed mode, then change it back to fullscreen. what this does is give me a window properly positioned on the desktop at the right res, at about 40-60fps. this is absolutely ideal, as it doesnt stop me playing movies on the second monitor, the menu bar and command tab are all accessible and spaces works and interacts as it should. crossover eve is basically a borderless, unmovable window.

any ideas how to get this behaviour without the first minute of silly buggers?

i tried using the config dialog to setup a desktop window whatsit. works fine, and infact stops the login window getting thrown half off the screen when using dual monitors, but as soon as you login, eve will move so the left bottom corner is in the middle of the screen.

its nothing critical, but maybe someone has some ideas on whats causing it and it might be fixed in a future revision? :)

Does this behavior persist on Space 1?

Spaces is doing some funky stuff behind the scenes. It actually screws up Apple's X11, too! (CrossOver has an X11 server built into it.) The problem probably lies in closed-source components of the OS (quartz-wm or libXplugin).

We'll investigate, but the fix may have to come from Apple.

the results seem to be independent of the space chosen. ive noticed that with vmware fusions fullscreen mode, you end up with a similar effect almost, only better working. you get the windows os in the space, and if you mouse to the top of the screen the menu bar pops down. after the fiddling in eve, the same effect is acquired (but without the menu bar hiding and reappearing appropriately).
