Settings Menu not activating on startup

[Professor Icepick]

I'm running the game on Windows 10 and for some reason, I can't get the settings menu to open up. I tried opening the game under both options -- Play Gurumin and Skip settings and play -- but neither option has brought up the option to mess with the game's settings. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I tried putting the programs into Windows 7 compatibility mode but that didn't have any effect either.

So did Mastiff just abandon this forum or something?

I don't know but Mastiff seems to have been less active than XSEED at supporting their little piece of Falcom gaming.

Pretty soon NISA will join the group of recent Falcom game publishers and we'll get to see how they do too.

In case anyone searches for this in the future, I managed to fix it for myself. I had the setting to open games in Big Picture Mode from the desktop if a controller is detected (Steam > Settings > In-game > Big Picture Overlay checkbox). After turning that off and launching the game without BPM the settings menu opened automatically.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks, trockr!

Kinda decided to play something else for the time being -- ironically, the original Trails in the Sky -- but it's good to know there's a way to fix this issue when I decide to try again.

Hi, I turned the BPM off and it's still saying that there's an error. Is there something else that needs to be looked at?
