Issue with game not starting and my resolution

The next update will be available on Wednesday, December 18, in the early evening (GMT+1).

This update will not yet replace the Java version, instead it is the actual content update. We'll provide more information about the transition together with the update.
  • Today I downloaded Rising World and was excited to run it only to have it shut down and refuse to reopen after changing some of the settings; specifically I changed the resolution to 4k (I have a 4k monitor) and then set it to full screen. My indications when starting the game either from Steam or from the .exe files were the windows working mouse for a moment and a small what looked like an old dos prompt window opening in the corner of the screen and then disappearing. Rising Wolrd was not showing up as an open program or a running process. After digging around I found the error log and it stated it was unable to find fullscreen display mode matching settings... I opened up the config.properties file using notepad and changed 'graphic_fullscreen=true' to 'graphic_fullscreen=false'. It started up like a champ! I haven't tried any other resolution and fullscreen combinations yet but I hope this helps if anyone else is having issues with the game not starting.
