Game starts with bad display (wrong resolution, off screen)
My Win 7 64-bit system runs the desktop display at 1080p. Other Steam games have no problem running at 1080p (using GeForce GTX 750 Ti with nVidia driver version 347.25). Chariot launches full creen in 800x600 60Hz video mode, scaled incorrectly such that most of the displayed image is off the screen. I can't find any way to adjust the video mode Chariot uses. Can anybody please help me? Just bought the game, so I have no idea what I should see when I get to the menu.

UPDATE:

After cycling to the desktop with Alt+Tab the video mode stayed in 800x600 (when Chariot is not running it is 1080p). I was able to set desktop resolution to 720p and Alt+Tab back to Chariot. The game in full screen was now very grainy, but on screen. I was able to find video mode settings inside a New Game, and adjust to 1920x1080. The video mode changes to 1080p, but the settings entry drops back to 1280x720.

After exiting, Chariot still launches with the main screen at the wrong resolution and off screen, but when I choose a game (I cannot see the game slots, but must work from memory), the video mode goes to 1080p. The settings report 1280x720 (see above paragraph), but my display itself indicates 1080p, and the graphics look right in game.

Is there a setting to adjust to get the game to behave at the main menu and be consistent in the reported video mode?

Okay, so I have to chime in on this one. I got one PC where the game works perfeclty in fullscreen mode with a beautiful resolution and everything. I can even stream that same thing to my other PC (Living room, couch). But, if I try to start the game after installing it on my second PC, the game doesnt start in fullscreen and I barely see 2/3rds of the game window. Both PCs have AMD graphics cards, both use Windows 7 with very similar settings, and I can't for the life of me find the problem.

EDIT: Found the problem. It was the in-built scaling option of Windows. I had activated it to make it easer to read on my Couch-PC using the Television as the screen. It seems this has interfered with graphics settings of the game. But it was only this game which was affected.

So please Devs: Fix this bug, please, since this game is wayyyy too much fun as couch co-op.
