In the middle of a game Tremulous will suddenly go out of full screen mode. I can see everything happening still, other players running around but I cannot do anything witht he keyboard or mouse. I end up having to restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and login again. I can rejoin the game but a while later it just happens again. It has happen on different servers also... no idea why. I have no mods or anything... under mods except "tremx" which must have come with the game.
I'm running Debian Lenny and haven't had this problem until today... I have no idea what started this.
Alt+Enter is the toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode. Perhaps you pressed it by accident? Or, even if you didn't, pressing it will fix the problem?
Pressing it does not fix it. I tried that right away. I cannot do anything with the Keyboard or Mouse... not even on the desktop. I cannot tell if Tremulous has focus or not. I'm assuming it looses focus somehow when it drops full screen mode.
Is there a setting that could be causing this, anyone?
Which client are you using, the one from apt?
Switching from full screen to windowed mode and vice versa will/should only when the game-console (~) is open.
oh i have had that bug simple to fix alt enter alt enter back to normal
Try disabling your screensaver, since that is most likely what is causing this.
