[Solved - 3.85] Crash using fullscreen

[teapot156]

On latest steam versions. Standard install. Windows 10.

The game runs ok on windowed but on fullscreen setting will freeze up before loading the world.

Is there some setting I can apply to make it..... go?

Thanks,

after experimenting with it more. Once I switch it to fullscreen-I can't go back to windowed. Everything crashes it.

I messed around with compatibility options on the executable but no dice.

I thought maybe its the steam overlay-but im launching it from the installation directory which circumvents that.

As a workaround so that you can play again, look for a file called urw_ini.txt in your installation directory, and set [FULLSCREEN:NO]

There's also a file winpos.dat that you could try deleting

Tried. still not working.

Only thing that seems to work is uninstalling the game completely. Deleting the directory. Reinstalling and not touching the window size or options.

The size in native its too small use. See attached.

Alright-figured it out. Something is wrong with the steam archive.

There's some kind of corruption with the package that's uploaded there because I've cleanly reinstalled many times but when I verified the installed files-it found like 70 that needed to be replaced. Now it's working.

So a dev probably needs to reupload a clean version. This kind of coincides with another bug report I read where the guy was having popping issues with a .wav file. I think something got corrupted.

Good to hear it got solved, although the actual cause of the issue may remain (likely a system dependant?) mystery.
Verifying integrity on Steam only compares if the files on player's hard disk are exactly same as the actual game files on Steam servers, and if the player's files
are different it downloads the original files from the server again. So, if there's been integrity failures it has happened to the files either during or after the game download (ie. installation). And vice versa, should the game files on Steam servers be corrupt/malfunctional the integrity verification then verifies that they are just as corrupt on player's hard disk too.
