FOUND MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS FOR THE SCREEN PROBLEM!

[K I L L I O N A I R E 2 3]

Solution 1:

If you have a multi-monitor setup (or not, probably), you might have had the same issue where the screen is badly aligned and you can't click anything or see anything.

Change your display settings to DUPLICATE:

Windows key + P
Then Choose DUPLICATE

Solution 2:

Install UCP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJRfXGU640M&ab_channel=LordHenryStrongholdCrusader

Solution 3:

Find this file in: Steam/Commen/Stronghold Crusader .../Stronghold Crusader.exe
Right click on properties
Compatibility mode
Windows 7
Deactivate the check mark for full screen optimization
Activate Run program as administrator
Apply.

Then you always have to use the exe to start.
Starting via Steam resets the settings.


Let me know if it worked!
I'd appreciate a cheap steam award if it helped you :) <3

Windows 11 user here. For option 3 it was enough for me to enable compatibility mode checkbox and selecting windows 7.
However, if I launch the game through the original library entry it will reset the compatibility mode setup on the .exe file. So I suggest to the people going with this option; add the game as non-steam game and hide the original library entry to avoid having to set up the compatibility mode again later.

Yea changing to windows 7 in compatibility mode works. Confirmed. Nothing else is needed

[K I L L I O N A I R E 2 3]

Sweet! For me the compatibility was not what helped, hence the different solutions. Glad it could be of use!

Hey, solution 3 is working for me permanently.

Firstly, I tried what it is commented here, applying to the launching parameters of the game in Steam the next:

set __COMPAT_LAYER=DISABLEDXMAXIMIZEDWINDOWEDMODE, WIN7RTM

But it was not working, so secondly, I applied solution 3, BUT with a trick.

In Windows 11 there is a button to apply the changes to all the users at the bottom of the compatibility tab, and applying the compatibility from this button seems to work without any issue, even when running the game from Steam library.

Hope it helps!

Cheers
