Screen became a giant single color square

[JohnnyDerp]

I was playing DRGS fine few hours ago, but when i start the game again, the screen became a giant square of single color screen. The background music still functions and i can hear the sound effects from my cursor/controller input, but i can't possibly proceed to game or change settings since i literally can't see anything other than this square.

Tried deleting my save and verify game files. Both does not fix the issue.

I believe i am facing a similar situation to this game developer

I have this issue on my secondary accounts... can play fine on my main login on computer, but when logged in from second account it has this problem (where it just shows one big square of color and won't load the game properly... Tried to verify game integrity etc.. to no avail

I just found a working fix for myself, which is using the steam launch options of the DRG Survivor properties to launch game in specific resolution.

Thanks to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2699973520

-screen-height /height/ -screen-width /width/ 

Replace /height/ and /width/ with your desired screen resolution.
For example, -screen-height 1440 -screen-width 2560 will start the game in 1440p and fix the problem

Based off that post... are you running your monitor in a native resolution and the game in that resolution? Or are you doing any scaling or weird resolution stuff?

My monitor is 1440p so i always running windows and games in 2560 x 1440. This is the first Unity game that i encountered such problem. The game changed the resolution itself somehow i guess?

I also noticed the ingame settings always return to 640 x 480, which is also mentioned by other players.

Go into regedit and delete this key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Funday Games\DRG Survivor
