game works out of the box with no alterations other than whats shown above and works full screen with my default of 1920x1080 in windows 10 home or pro, with nothing else needed, everything that comes with the game is all that's needed, just follow install instructions above..

alt tab is fully supported in game as is print screen for screen shots to paste into paint and upload if you wish



Image

default game install folder structure with configuration file shown where it can be edited if needed,

since the latest patches any alteration aren't needed in this file unless you have or use a none standard DPI settings or high end resolution that's not supported out of the box and needs a manual edit to make work.

DPI by windows default is set to 96 DPI, anything other than this is none standard and card or driver or resolution changed to match either a larger display, or a none standard sized laptop display.

Code: Select all
