Two feature requests...

Post by Phathry25 »

I'd like to see the game disable the screen saver, all of the d3d games I run have no such issues. I'm pretty sick and tired of my screen saver coming up when I'm mid-race.

Also I'd like to be able to navigate the menu's w/ my controller, I play on my tv screen, but to do so I have to move 4'-5' away from my desktop, so to change views, or switch tracks I have to get up and go over to the keyboard to press escape. Having a key mappable to escape would works great, I know there are programs out there that can do this its just too rinky-dink for me.

At any rate I'd see the screen saver issue as an issue that needs to be fixed, and the controller navigation as a dream, lol. I know theres a suggestions topic, this isn't a suggestion, its a bug fix request. :D

It's also not a bug.

I use HDMI cause I'm playin on a plasma.
And I use my optical out to connect to surround- for movies.

You can just use a VGA or S-Video cable if you want. Then get an audio cable.

So you are saying that the screen saver popping up over a full screen game is WAD? I find that hard to believe, what would be the reasoning.

I'm using HDMI, you could use any cable it all depends on what outputs you have on your computer, and what inputs your TV has.
