Issues fixed
Game immediately opens configuration tool on execution
- The configuration tool seems to use different methods of determining display information from the game, resulting in sometimes incompatible configurations that the game refuses to accept.
- Certain resolutions may not be properly recognized by the game.
Adjust Registry to allow additional display modes[5] |
---|
|
- On systems with switchable graphics, the configuration tool may get an adapter name that is different from what the engine gets. This also causes the game to bail.
Adjust Registry to set proper graphics adapter name[citation needed] |
