Run the configtool.exe program to change the resolution (at least in Windows there is a shortcut to 'Configuration' in the Start menu folder for the game). You can also manually set the resolution by editing the config.div file in the install folder (in any text editor).

Is there a readme file or anything included with the Mac install? I don't know what the Mac equivalent alt/ctrl/function keys are.

thanks for the reply, but i can't find any application folder for the game. and i can't find any other files associated to the game. from the download content, there's only one game application file for me to copy into my application folder that's all. and i click that game application file to start the game.

If you start a new game and save under a unique name, you can find the savegames folder, and then check the parent folder to see if there is a config.div file there. In Windows, each save is a separate folder in the ..\Divine Divinity\savegames install folder.

If there is no help file, and nobody else replies, contact GOG support. Presumably the application file is a container with the game and all the Wine (or similar) files / settings to run the game on a Mac, but there should be some way to modify files within it.

I was logging on to note some Mac issues, and I can help w/ at least something here.

R-click on the application. Choose "Show Package Contents". In the Search window, type in "config.div" to find it easily. When you click on it, you'll get a message "There is no application set to open...". That's ok, click the "Choose Application" button and scroll down to TextEdit. That opens it, and you'll see the defaults Width 800 and Height 600. You can change those accordingly I believe and that should solve 1 problem you have. My monitor is 1680 x 1050, so I think for me I'd make Width 1680 & Height 1050, but I haven't tried it.

My much bigger issue is the Alt key not doing what it's supposed to do. It's usually a slight annoyance, but in a quest right now to enter 2 back doors of a house w/ hostages, since I can't highlight the doors or even find them manually w/ my cursor, I can't get in. Frustrating (if I go in the front door, the hostages die).

Another major pain is that sometimes the game won't even launch. Black screen; force-quit out. Try again, can't even force-quit out. Have to hard shut down the computer. It can take a while to get into the game. When I'm in, it doesn't crash and runs pretty well, but getting in is so haphazard...

Anyway, hope this helped you.
thanks raze and ben for the replies!

managed to find the file and change the resolution. yeah the alt key isn't working on mac.

i kinda gotta use the mouse cursor and scan the entire map for highlights..

Somehow I stumbled on the fix for the Alt-key issue!

Just hold down both the Option and Command keys, and you'll highlight what is out and visible. Note this will not highlight items that might be inside something (e.g., barrel), but your cursor highlights them just fine.
