Having an annoying problem. I cannot get the game to work in fullscreen. When I try, a frozen frame of the intro video stays onscreen while I can hear the background music for the main menu. I even managed to accidentally open a city by clicking randomly (apparently I doubleclicked a default city). Disabling the intro video does not help, I just get a black screen while the music plays. If I alt tab away and then back to it, I can see the menu, but can't click on anything. My mouse cursor is also trapped like it's in a window.
I added some shortcut parameters to make it open in windowed mode and that gets me past the above issue, but I don't want to play in Window mode. I also cannot make it use the correct screen resolution (1080p). It won't accept anything above 1280 x 1024.
My shortcut target currently looks like this: "C:\GOG Games\SimCity 3000 Unlimited\Apps\SC3U.exe" -w -intro:off -r1280x1024x32
I tried the "-CustomResolution:enabled" switch but it doesn't do anything.
Windows "Game Mode" is disabled
I've tried several different compatibility options, like disabling "full screen optimizations" and "run in administrator mode," run as Windows 98, Windows 7, Windows XP. None of this helps anything.
