Resolution issue

August 11, 2012 10:33 PM from

Hi.

I just bought this game from Steam and can not get the resolution set right. First, the game took up 2/3rds of my screen and the mouse wasn't lining up right so I changed the resolution. Now I am out of full-screen resolution and even though I can see the full game image, the game thinks my mouse is far to the left of and above where it is, meaning that when my mouse appears in the bottom right-hand corner, I can shake Mitt and Rick's heads.

This means that I can not move my mouse far enough to get to the options menu.

Is there any other way to change the resolution? Using -h -w in the Steam startup properties area does not work.

Thanks.

You can edit the resolution setting directly in Documents\my games\PolMachine2012\Prefs.ini.

Thanks. That let me get it back to a size that I could work with.

If anyone else has this problem, I was able to get this working perfectly by selecting my computer's resolution, then using the "-windowed -noborder" startup properties via Steam. That actually made it go fullscreen, which is what I wanted. I could not get the mouse to line up right without those.

Seems to be working now. Off to play my first game.
