vanilla and ultimate mod 5 start but won't run

Post by scottdiver690 »

Hello, thanks for everyone on here for making botf enjoyable again. Loved this game 20 years ago and i am having lots of fun with the ultimate dominion mod. I seem to be unable to run the original or the ultimate mod 5. It starts up but you can see the microprose logo is shifted across to the right and on the home screen i have no cursor or nor am i able to select anything. I have played with the resolution but no difference. I am not a programming genuis either so if there was a fix to help please start with the basics.

Thanks again.

first thing are you trying to play in fullscreen or windowed mode

if it is upper left corner your monitor/video driver does not support 1366 x 768

what exactly did you install?

also check your windows display settings for scale it should be 100%

Thank you, changing the resolution and zoom fixed it.
