Natae: I was ecstatic when I loaded up QFG5 and realized the early issues that I'd had years ago when I'd tried to play this game--cutscenes not loading properly, crashing on the introduction scene--didn't happen this time around. The cutscenes showed up perfectly fine for me.

But then I got to the title screen and couldn't read the buttons. They'd clear up briefly if I passed the mouse cursor over them, but they'd quickly blur again. I clicked the first button to go to the character creation, and got blurry and flickering text. Just wondering if the regular game was blurry, I didn't bother distributing any points and just clicked the bottom right button to continue on. The pop-up text box was actually clear. The regular game was mostly clear, too, except for the panel at the bottom. My inventory and character screen, however, were not.

In town, when I read the Welcome to Silmaria board, it was clear unless I hovered the mouse cursor over one of the notes long enough for a pop-up box to appear. (Would have included screenshots of these, but apparently, 5's the limit.)

I tried changing my monitor's resolution; toggling Run in 640x480 screen resolution, Disable Visual themes, and Disable display scaling on high DPI settings in QFG5.exe's properties; alt-tabbing out; changing the compatibility mode to 98 (default was 95, and both had the same issues); reinstalling; and updating my graphics card. Nothing worked. So I right clicked on QFG5.exe and selected Troubleshoot Compatibility, and tested what was suggested (XP then 95), and got a "Config file is missing. QFG5.cfg" error both times, although that file does exist (though, all it has are a period on the first line and an arrow pointing right on the second.)

I'm not really sure what else to try. :/

Edit: Odd, I attached 5 screenshots, but I only see one showing. Let's try that again . . .
