Issues fixed
Game immediately opens configuration tool on execution
- The configuration tool seems to use different methods of determining display information from the game, resulting in sometimes incompatible configurations that the game refuses to accept.
- Certain resolutions may not be properly recognized by the game.
| Adjust Registry to allow additional display modes[5] |
|---|
|
- On systems with switchable graphics, the configuration tool may get an adapter name that is different from what the engine gets. This also causes the game to bail.
| Adjust Registry to set proper graphics adapter name[citation needed] |
