Windows taskbar on screen left edge messes up graphics

January 19, 2012 4:35:35 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Hi

I've got my Windows 7 (64 bit) taskbar locked on the left edge of the screen, not the bottom as is default. Probably because of this, my taskbar is always visible while playing the game and the graphics appear to be pushed off-screen to the right by the same amount of pixels the taskbar is taking.

This is a tremendous improvement over WoM, though. There the left edge taskbar caused the mouse cursor to be stuck on the left edge of the screen

Nah, it is exactly the same as in WoM. If you switched WoM to 'fake fullscreen' (windowed at desktop resolution), which is what Fallen Enchantress uses, it had this exact same bug. In true fullscreen mode it had the other issue you described.

I'm having the same issue as the OP.  Win 7 64.  The instant I move the taskbar to the bottom of the screen, the taskbar disappears and the game corrects itself.

Same issue here (Win7 64bit). Hiding the taskbar seems to help too.
