Game options? or how to I make it full screen?

[Surly]

Pretty much what the title says. Right now its in a tiny box and I'd rather play it full screen if possible.

The guy who converted this game should've thought about that. I want to look at the pretty graphics !

They'd have to make a full re-release.

Old Alt+Enter works!

Even more, sometimes the game dumbs up and won't recognize function key input, switching between screen modes fixes that for me.

[TaxFreePwnage]

Alt+Enter :)

anyone know how to save when f1 and?or f5 dont work?

[redrost21]

Exit full screen mode by using ALT + ENTER and then use F1 or F5 to save your game.

Alt + Enter: one of the many ways you know you're an older PC gamer. >.>

That doesn´t work on macs. I am really frustrated. :)

For mac users, I just found this message in the Indiana Jones forum

On a Mac/OS X you need to use the Task Bar at the top of the desktop screen to Save & Load a game - keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work."

It also works for the options menu.

Doesn't this game run automatically on ScummVM? Their UI is one of the more accessible out there.

Turning off Num Lock should allow you to use the F1/F5 keys, as well as others such as the period key (for skipping text). No idea why this happens.

This fixed it for me (Win8 x64, AMD).

I didn't see the answer to this issue on this thread, so I figured I'd add it.

My issue was that when I went to fullscreen, the picture wasn't scaling correctly and I would be missing some of the picture.

Here are the steps to fix this:
1. Navigate to file location of dig.exe
2. Right click on dig.exe and select "Properties"
3. Select the "Compatability" tab
4. Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
5. Apply changes.

Hope this helps someone.

If you open the .vdf file in the game directory with a text editor, you will see :

"installscript"
{
"Registry If Not Present"
{
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\LucasArts\\The Dig"
{
"dword"
{
"FixAspctRatio" "1"
"SmoothGraphics" "1"
"SwitchResolutions" "0"
"WindowFullScreen" "0"
}
}
}
}

You can't modify options directly from this file, but thanks to it, you notice the settings can be modified with regedit.

So, just go to the start menu, then execute and type : regedit

Once regedit is loaded, search for : The Dig

You will see several lignes. 0 mean disabled, 1 mean activated.

So if you want to enable fullscreen when the game boot, select the "windowfullscreen" line, hit Enter and change the 0 value with 1.

Then, the game will load directly in fullscreen.

You can also disable the smooth graphics by default, change the resolution, etc...

If you want to change the resolution value, you have to click on Decimal before entering the value, as default values (0 and 1 from other settings) are hexadecimal ones.

Note that the same things work with the other LucasArts games on Steam.

Thanks muchly! I've tried faffing about with the registry as in the post above but this is the one that worked for me.
