Issues fixed

Crashes when selecting resolutions above 1280x960

Upon selecting a resolution above 1280x960 and re-launching the game, it will crash during the loading screen right before the title screen.
Use Patched Executable

Download this patched executable and replace the original Shrek.exe in <path-to-game> to fix the crashing issue. Editing the config.ini and setting the resolution manually may be necessary to change the resolution afterwards.
