erratic mouse: screen always goes up, stuck to the clouds

Postby mraqus » Sat Sep 27, 2008 6:15 pm

Hello,

I just downloaded demo, and unable to play:

- when i enter the level: at first everything normal BUT if i move mouse in any direction screen always goes up, and ends up looking into the clouds. no matter which direction i move the mouse, the screen points up and rotates the clouds counter-clockwise

- in the menus: i cant reach the last option with the mouse. for example in the main menu, i cannot click on quit. the last option i can reach with mouse is 'buy full game'. to reach 'quit' i use arrow keys. otherwise mouse goes in all directions

hhheeeellllpppppp !!!! :D

aahhh, been stuck with this all day and after i post the problem i find the solution

it seems the problem is with vista high dpi setting. i set 120 dpi scaling (small LCD screen but high resolution), without 'xp style dpi scaling' .

so, in order to get it working i had to right click the icon -> properties -> compatibility -> disable display scaling on high dpi setting

voila! it works now ........ i guess the developers might want to take a note of this
