I've recently downloaded Defender's Quest and enjoyed it for a few hours before closing it. When I first started playing it, I tinkered with the resolution settings in order to make it full screen. I've tried starting the game up again and after it finished loading its settings, the screen would go dark and display a message stating:

An error has happened!
Context: State_TitleMenu.onWaitForIt() Main.LoadOptions
Message: Error #3214
Stack Trace:

null

My OS is Windows 7 (64-bit) in case it helps. Any help regarding this issue would be appreciated.

Error 3214 is caused when the application tries to launch an external native application and fails. That application in this case would (on Windows) be ResSwitch.exe, a small command-line utility that the game uses to drive the resolution-switching.

The most likely cause is an overly aggressive antivirus program that has blacklisted it or something. Rest assured, the utility is harmless, and if you allow it in your antivirus program it should work again.

If that doesn't work, you can restore your old settings by going to the game's storage directory:
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\DefendersQuest\Local Store

Deleting the "config.xml" file, and restarting the game. That will get you out of fullscreen mode at least.
