Scratches and Windows 11

[mcquigan]

Two of us are running Windows 11, no problems with Scratches.

If you do have movement issues, same fixes as Win10:

Some machines encounter no problems at all; some need a little tweaking.

Use the XP compatibility troubleshooter, select. XP svc pack three.

Camera speed slow
Slideshow off
Alternate control disabled

disable any custom scaling that Win 10 applies. (like 125%)

**"NVIDIA control panel:**
Change **"Vertical Sync" setting from "Application Controlled" to "Off"**


The mouse speed may be too fast for some people. In Windowed Mode, the mouse control may be difficult to move or uncontrollable spinning occurs. To fix this, set Alternative Control to DISABLED in the Setup Menu. Then, click the F9 key when the game is running to change the Camera Speed to Slow.

**IMPORTANT:**
The game does not run in Widescreen with 16:9 resolution. It is configured to 1024 x 768 with an aspect ratio of 4:3, so there will be black bars surrounding the image on your standard 1920 x 1080 screens. Editing the SCREAM.CFG file to custom resolutions (Height and Width) is NOT recommended as it can cause major issues.
