Essential improvements

Skip Configuration Dialog

The Unity Resolution Dialog opens every time you launch the game with no official way to bypass it. This dialog is unnecessary in the majority of use-cases and can be safely disabled.
  1. Open the file Zoombinis_Data\mainData with a hex editor such as HxD. Be sure to make a backup copy of the file.
  2. Press Ctrl+G and enter the offset 107C. Click OK to jump to that offset.
  3. Change the value at offset 107C from 01 to 00 and save the file.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/397430/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (397430) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
