Original Post — Direct link

Hey! I recently bought the game on sale on steam but cannot load it due to a resolution thing. I did some research and tried several fixes but none of them worked. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

I'm going to need a bit more info to help you out as I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.

What do you mean by 'resolution thing'? Are the buttons obscured because your monitor is too small?

What platform are you on? Windows?

If on Windows and you just need to reset the resolution that is stored (Unity has a strange way to save game resolutions/gfx stuff) you can do so by following this:

  1. From your windows panel, type, 'run' and open the Run app.
  2. With the new window type, regedit.
  3. Navigate the folders: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Unknown Origin Games > Odd Realm
  4. You should see something along the lines of, Screenmanager Resolution Height_h2627697771. You can edit this to change the saved resolution.

Be very careful when viewing/editing the registry. Make sure to only edit stuff under the Odd Realm folder.

Again, I think this might be an issue on steam end or I'm just really stupid. Do you have any suggestions for this? I followed the directions from your comment above, but it didn't seem to change anything.

Hmmm. Unfortunately, I've never seen this before. My personal solution to odd graphics bugs like this is to update my drivers. That is my super lame advice. Otherwise, I have no clue. Sorry. :(
