Okay so I've been playing PW for awhile and everything's been cool, but today when I opened up my launcher, after I click start it just sits there for awhile, then closes, but the game never comes up. I went on the graphics thing to try and change it to windowed mode because maybe something about being on fullscreen was messing it up, but it won't let me change it, it just says "customize" without any other options and when I tick the windowed box is says the windowed resolution must be lower than the desktop resolution :L I looked through 10 pages on here and didn't find anything helpful so I'm sorry if this has already been asked but does anyone know how to fix it? :)

    Yup! I think that's why it won't open, because it has no resolution :L

    Okay then, the following steps are totally not endorsed by the staff, but if it does make the game load then that's all that matters.

    Go to the game's folder. Navigate to element\userdata\. There will be a file called "systemsettings.ini" Open that up and you should focus onto the following:

    RenderWid = XXXX
    RenderHei = YYYY
    FullScreen = Z

    RenderWid stands for the horizontal resolution size, replace whatever's there into what you wish, same goes for RenderHei (vertical). That being done, switch FullScreen from 1 to 0. That'll make the game run in windowed mode.

    Example:

    RenderWid = 1024
    RenderHei = 768
    FullScreen = 0

    This makes the game run windowed at 1024 x 768 resolution.

    If it loads up correctly, then hooray. If it doesn't, spill out every single detail of what happened.

    Yay it worked! Thank you so much :)
