I've discovered that for me the game is best run in 1024x768 mode (easier to see!). Is there a way to have the game start in a given screen resolution? I can change my desktop resolution every time before playing but that's not a good solution. If this option doesn't exist now could it be added?

I'm running in 2560x1600 on a large monitor and it is a bit silly - ui elements are absolutely tiny and I find myself peering into the corners a lot.

More windowing and fullscreen options, and UI elements which increase in size/font size with resolution would be the easiest solution. Resizable/draggable UI elements another, more complex one.

Yeah would be nice to have a resoulution option or even better a windowed mode option, im been forced to play at 5040 by 1680 atm and its causing all sorts of laggy and crash issues.

Bestor,

Have you updated to 1.0.2 yet? If not, try your "Check for Updates", it should help a lot with any stability issues.

I hear you guys on the resolution request. We will look into this and whether it's possible, but we are prioritizing any severe issues first, so you will likely need to be patient.

I bought the game a few days ago and running it at 2550x1600 is close to impossible. Is there a chance to change resolution on the fly? I feel a bit unconfortable as I see that the last post on this subject is 5 yers old.
Did I miss the right button on the interface?

There is no magic button, but probably some help in this post:
