Multiplayer taking control of panels 01/08/2011 at 15:13 #18859

I think it may just be me but why in a multiplayer session can I only take control of the various workstations in Cambridge in windowed mode and not full screen mode?

I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it using the version which is currently available on this site for download and the problem arises all the time - is this a bug?

I have found this problem with all paged sims. If you have to play in fullscreen view; SOMETIMES, not always, the workstation control box appears under the sim instead of on top like it's supposed to.

I assume that you are running on either Vista or Windows 7 if this is the problem I think it is?

Windows Vista 64 Edition - Least the scrolly sims don't have this issue.

Sometimes have this problem with paged simulations too, the box will appear 'on the desktop' instead of in the simulation. Normally have to alt+tab out of the simulation and go back into it then it appears then the simulation itself appears again. I think the problem is with having anything else open or minimized to the taskbar, as I don't have this problem if I've got nothing else open or minimized. I now run paged simulations in windowed mode fine, not ideal perhaps but it'll do.
