Newbie stuck at the first hurdle :(

Hi

I downloaded the demo for the game as i just wanted to check it out. The problem is the window that the game is running in is bigger than my screen. When i go into the settings to try and resize it, i can't get to the bottom of the page to hit the accept button when i've changed the settings to smaller window. I have also tried right clicking on the toolbar to see if i can maximise it, but windows won't let me nor will it let me resize it that way.

Please help, this looks like a great game that i'd really like to play.

Many thanks

Not 100% sure that it's the same in the demo, but the full game has a file called settings.cfg in its folder.

If you open that file in notepad, there should be two lines reading 'SCREEN_RESOLUTION_WIDTH=' and 'SCREEN_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT=' somewhere in there, with the currently set resolution entered after them. All you need to do is input the resolution you want to use there, save the file and run the game again.

Is your task bar still at the bottom of the screen? If it is, swing it round to the side for a minute and you should be able to hit the bottom buttons on settings to apply. Just set it to full screen mode and you shouldn't have any issues in the future.

On Windows, try pressing ALT+ENTER to set it fullscreen.
