Game crash - resolution error window

[goodchristian]

Game fails rendering at resolution 1920*1080, my monitors native res, Error window has it trying lower resolutions. and then complete failure, and crash.

Sorry, it occured right after returning home after first actual puzzle sequence. I'll try to replicate and get a screen grab, when the prospect of doing so doesn't absolutely bore me to tears.

Hello. Were you able to fix it? I can't even run the game because of this error :(

[goodchristian]

sorry, this was ages ago, but I haven't had internet access, and haven't actually played the game since that incident. i'll keep you posted after i give it another try.

I have the same error. Was just about to start chapter 5, and this came up.

Hey, sorry you're experiencing an issue. Booting the game in Windows mode should fix the problem and the following link provides some potential tips:

Note these tips are for other games but they should work for Stick It To The Man too:

Further potential steps but advised for experienced computer users only

1. Press the Windows Key
2. Type "regedit" and hit enter
3. A new window will appear called "Registry Editor"
4. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zoink Games\Stick It To The Man!
5. Here you can edit the files called Screenmanager...
6. Try changing Screemanager Is Fullscreen mode to 0
