Oops, I meant change to FALSE. I found the file and got it to go fullscreen but now it turns black before getting to character select screen and won't load it... Any fixes for this?

Did you go through all of the trouble-shooting/ pre-setup stuff on the webpage to make this 25 year old client run on a modern OS that it knows nothing about? ie running in win xp sp2 compatibility mode?

Are your drivers updated? Are you forcing discreet gfx card? Also, hard to troubleshoot a black box.

Thanks for the explanation, Meulaar. Ok, I will abandon my attempts to run it in full screen. Too bad, it looks much nicer in full screen.

Actually, I just took your advice of setting the compatibility and running it as administrator and guess what? It's now running full screen and I clicked around all the edges and it stayed full screen!

So that fixed me, thanks Meulaar!

Nevermind I figured out how to enlarge the screen with wineq2

I just got a new computer and the same resolutions were not with the old one. I just set my resolution and it appears to be working. I changed the :

WinEQWidth=1280
WinEQHeight=720
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=50
Width=1280
Height=720
WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=720

To a more manageable size. But I'm confused as to the previous conversation about logs. If I don't change logs, and just change the above resolution sections, do I have to worry about logs?

I don't want to find out later I have a massive collection of logs to be deleted.

not a typo, it's to shift the window title bar (useless) upwards

I don't use hacky tools like wineq2 - cleaner install the better inho - the tool could cause a crash. I crash very infrequently and have found it out in relation when my log reading tools stop working - my client will soon crash.
