Hi, I just purchased this on steam and cannot get the game to run correctly.
System specs:
OS:Windows 7 64bit
RAM:8GB
CPU:i5-2310(2.9GHz, quad core)
GPU:Radeon HD6870
Initially it was giving me a Set Display Mode error so I did a few quick google searches and determined that this is usually caused when the resolution is set below 1024x768, which shouldn’t be an issue since mine is 1920x1080. I also tried switching to a number of lower resolutions(though still equal to or higher than 1024x768) but this did not solve the problem. After looking here and attempting to change these settings I determined that setting safe mode to 1 instead of 0 would allow the game to launch, unfortunately that’s as far as it will get as none of the buttons(new game, how to play, etc.) do anything. I also tried setting ForceFallback to 0 as it seems to have worked for some people but this didn’t help either.
Here’s the debug reports for when safe mode is 0:
Debug.txt:
"----DEBUG FILE----
Windows Vista detected
WARNING - > invalid desktop resoltuion

Drawdebug.txt:

Here’s the debug reports when safemode is set to 1:
Debug.txt:

Couple notes about the debug reports: I’m certain that I have Windows 7 despite the game consistently viewing it as Vista. I’m also certain that FMOD is current, though I can’t see that being an issue anyways as the music from the game seems to be playing fine on the title screen. All the errors seem to be video/resolution based. Drivers for my graphics card are up to date as well. Pretty puzzled by all of this, would definitely appreciate any help.
