When I start the game it stays minimized

[AOEO]

I've had the game working in the past, but haven't played it in a couple updates. However, today when I went to play it, the game starts and plays the music, but is stuck in a minimized position and I can't get it to open at all.

The same problem here (started with latest update)

ALT+ENTER didn't fix it?
if the game had a launcher with reset setting button it would be easy but no.
(as reinstall often leaves the registry as it is)

look in registy for Screenmanager Is Fullscreen (set it to 1), resolution Height and Width. (set it to your screen resolution in Hex)

No luck :/

My registry was messed up (had 0 for width and height) but putting in the correct values didn't fix it :/

Do you have any other ideas?

I think the bug came with the windows fall update, you are not alone xD

Win10 updated to 1709 for me yesterday and broke my games too. Nvidia card. I can hear the music playing in the background but no video. There's some issue where Unity games appear to be minimized on launch. There's a setting in the Nvidia Control Panel you can tweak that seemed to "fix" the problem for most of my games, but not ONI. Now it just shows a black screen with the music.

Same :/

Right? Other games like Cities Skylines is also a black screen for me.

Could you post the instructions for the Control Panel tweak?

Same here. Just downloaded the latest windows update "Fall Creator's" or whatever it was, now my game stays minimized with the sound playing. Updating my nvidia driver changed nothing. Uninstalling and reinstalling ONI changed nothing.

Anybody have a fix for this?

Open Nvidia Control Panel.
Display > Adjust desktop size and position
Scaling tab > Select a scaling mode
Choose "No scaling" and click "Apply"
Try to launch a Unity game that wasn't working.

For me, this fixed the issue for other Unity games. For ONI, it's like it tries to work, but I get a black screen instead the "minimized" look.

I was able to switch the scaling setting back to "Aspect ratio" after I tried this and the other Unity games are still fixed, but not ONI.

I decided to just roll that nasty Windows patch back, haha. Now I just have to make sure it doesn't sneak it's way in when I'm not looking.

If the above fix doesn't work, could you post how to roll back? Is it just in the updates menu?
