my code looks like this



as you can see, there are 2 syncs in the code. if the numbers after set display mode differs from the desktop resolution and the function is called, everything is slowed down as hell. however when going into the function it is synced only once a loop. in the main loop everything runs fine and again theres only one sync per loop. so why the slowdown in the function?
in fullscreen exclusive mode everything runs fine, but i get around 40 fps while in windowed-fullscreen it's around 150 on my old p3 500 with tnt2 graphics. in fact i want to use the windowed-fullscreen.
i hope you understand my problem

works good, but in case the user wants to play in 1024x768 but has a 800x600 desktopresolution? there must be another way than just using the desktopresolution.

Then you cannot use windowed-fullscreen.

When using windowed-fullscreen mode DBPro stretches your set display mode to whatever resolution Widnows is running in. This is why it was running slowly.

It is also why setting a higher resolution would be futile

i set my desktop to 800x600. in dbpro i set display mode 800,600 and 1280,1024. i think 1280,1024 was much sharper so a higher resolution (and resistance ) is not futile.

and why is the fullscreen exclusiv mode so much slower?

I shall get some rabbits out and conduct some experiments, this wasn't my understanding.

You can blame any of the following and probably be correct: Direct X; Windows; Microsoft; DarkBASIC Professional; Next door neighbour.
