I right-clicked on the games .exe file and under the compatibility tab I checked the box that says 'Disable fullscreen optimizations' and the the game would then start properly. I hope this works continually now and will report back if this stops working for any reason :-)

Axe your fix worked for me thank you!

[Mjovan]

this worked for me too.

[Soulonoscopy]

Worked as well for me. Thank you. BUMP! :)

[Axe]

It seems my post has been deleted because I can't see it but after just this minute reinstalling the game - it's seems this must have been resolved officially as I don't have to use the fix I apparently posted LOL

That's great either way ;-)

I had great times with this game upon release and the devs were amazing :-)

Thank you, it worked perfectly 4 me

[djoz]

what worked for me was to delete my setting.bin file in the game install folder then restart the game I was running a different resolution on two wide screens and when down to a smaller 1920x1080 screen was the only thing that worked for me good luck
