Sometimes my game just automatically drops into window mode (still occypying whole screen thou, but now it has got a bar + you can see the gnome panel), which also causes it to ... ALMOST reject input, the only thing it catches is repeated mouse moves, and those very slow.
So i can't play the game while in it, i can't quit it, i usually resort to killing X, but I'd rather not do that. Anyone else have/had this? How to solve?
I really don't mind it going into window mode (cause it happends like once every 10-20 mins tops) as long as i can force it back into fullscreen.

that bug may be related to the specific window manager you're using or specific x version.

it is coming from the libnotify system if you have running progs what are making notifying popups.

tip#1: stop all other progs while playing
tip#2: start urt on a separate X. I can help you if you need a hand with this (I am using that way)

It does not occur often for me ... maybe like once in 2 months .. when it happens i hit ctrl-alt-f3, login there and perform a killall iourbanterror.i386. and switch back with ctrl-alt-f7 ..

I've noticed that this is not just urbanterror >.> (All other games i played for so short, never noticed it. Guess that's ++ score to urt :> - until today.)
It's probably compiz or some other devilish part of it, will go try google.
Thanks anyway :>

This crap has happened to me more than once.  Letting it sit in a window will cause it to completely wash black and you'll have to alt+f4 out.  The only command that seems reliable for me when this happens is the old ctrl+alt+backspace but what usually happens then is as soon as I get back into urban terror its only a matter of time till it happens again.  It makes me wonder what would happen if I ran urban terror from a command prompt instead of loading up ubuntu.  I haven't run anything else while urt is going so I don't believe its a notify thing unless its the update manager in which case why didn't I see the notification after I relogged?

Meh it might just be something up with either gnome or X.  Heaven forbid that this is related to the opengl problem that causes the accidental wall hack on the hardy release.

EDIT:
I tried turning off all the pretty desktop effects.  When I did this the game crashed and played the same sound over and over until I ctrl+alt+backspaced out.

this has never happened to me  but i run a minimalist etch box.

Same thing has happened to me. I upgrade to 8.04 last night and not Urt keeps forcing itself to be windowed and craps out the mouse after a minute.  To roll back or beat it into submission.....I am not sure which yet.

Seems to work for me now. Turned off visual effects. I'll post on Ubuntu forums and see if they are patching
