Hello everybody,

I used to play the GOG Version of Tomb Raider 2 and I had no issues at all. The game startet in fullscreen mode @1920x1080, which is my default screen resolution, and it was without any flaws (it wasn't streched or anything).

I couldn't resist to tamper with the graphic settings, like changing the texture resolution etc. Unfortunately I changed the game to windowed mode (By pressing F12), wich also changed the resolution to 1440x900. And now it is impossible to change it back to fullscreen mode. Everytime I start the game It starts in 4:3 windowed mode. I can hammer on all the F-keys and it won't change back.

No problem I thought, because I unistalled the game after backing up my savegames, and reinstalled it. Yes, I checked the mark to remove all userdata and savegames.

But would you belive it, even after two fresh installations the game will only startup in windowed mode? Is there a file saving my graphic settings somewhere hidden by GOG? Why would a game that was completly deleted from my hard drive startup with the same flawed settings?

Thanks for your answers in advance,
Philipp

Some configs are saved in your registry, open regedit and find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Core Design\Tomb Raider II" and delete that folder for a fresh start before reinstalling.

Fullscreen issue can be resolved by adding ddraw.dll to the main game folder
