locked out of Dark Avatar

March 16, 2007 7:46 AM from

My Dark Avatar game opens in a window rather than full screen and after initial selection "New Game", "Options", etc. I cannot select anything or make the game play at all. I have totally removed everything, DA and DL and reloaded and it does not fix this. Meanwhile Dread Lords continues to come up fine, full screen, all the buttons work and I can play Dread Lords.

How do I get Dark Avatar to open up full screen and be playable?

Help.

There are 2 ways:

1) When you start up DA, go to Options -> Video and check the Fullscreen box.

2) The other is to manually edit the prefs.ini file located in: /My Documents/My Games/GC2DarkAvatar/

Change Fullscreen=0 to Fullscreen=1

That should set you up.

Thank You. I could not select anything beyond "Options" but the manual fix worked and I am back in business.
