Thank you! I was getting so frustrated and thought I'd see if others had this issue.

MercifulFury... All good now. Thanks for this and the reply.

Worked.

After changing the launch options (and disabling fullscreen optimizations), the game starts in windowed mode. I just had to disable the "Bordas da Janela" option in the settings.

It might say "Borderless" if your game is in English. Mine is in Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks @MercifulFary

@Dallas @bologna
I’ve updated the guide and added two more solutions. Give them a try and let me know if they work for you!

same dont work for me

doesn't work for me

Thank you I'll give it a go, I actually followed the above again and this time it worked. Last time I tried it it freaked out on me! I also recommend running it as admin I heard that makes a difference "run this program as administrator"

@Seductive Goblin

Sounds like a scaling issue. Try this:

In NVIDIA Control Panel > Adjust desktop size and position, set scaling to Full-screen, check “Override the scaling mode set by games and programs”, and apply.

Also, right-click the game .exe → Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings → check “Override high DPI scaling” and set it to Application.

Make sure your desktop and in-game resolution match.

This should help with the stretched characters.

This happens to me no matter what I do - but If I try enough I usually eventually get in. But even at the correct resolution the game makes the characters seem stretched and shorter.

thanks a lot mate
