why game dont work in windows 7
The game plays fine under Win7 (that's what I use - Windows 7 Ultimate x64).

I'm working on finding a fix for everyone that's running into the resolution problem.

Well, this is not really a problem with the game so much as it is with the latest Unity version in combination with Windows 7 (at least I'm guessing that's what you are using).

I switched over to the new Unity version this update, because I was running on an outdated version for a while already.
If you google the error, you will find that many games have the same problem (even some really big ones like Hearthstone).

Some suggest that this only occurs on pirated windows 7 versions and/or versions without SP1 installed.
So @Sycho maybe you can test installing that service pack to see if there's any difference.

If I have any updated information I will post it here.

Update1: Just to make sure, have you guys tried lowering the resolution on your monitor settings (so not the game launcher) and then launch the game with a lower resolution?

Update2: Running the game under "troubleshoot compatibility" option and running as administrator, seem to be a fix for some as well.

Update3: Nvidia control panel ->Graphics Options ->Panel Fit -> and switch from "Maintain Display Scaling" to "Maintain Aspect Ratio."
Update1: Done
Update2:: Done
Update3: NA

Unfortunately you're not the only one that's having problems. A lot of Windows 10 users are also. Right now I can't give you an answer on a fix until I finish running some more tests in a virtual environment.

What might help me would be if you would be so kind as to tell me what video card you're using?

Ok so I've been missing ONE picture for Veronica for a while now. It's the one of her doing laundry in her normal clothes. I noticed a few updates ago (or maybe I had finally progressed Veronica enough for this, I dunno) that we can get the option to choose which clothes Veronica can wear when she does chores. Was able to use this to get one of the other normal clothed pics I had missed (I think the kitchen one), but if you pick normal clothes for laundry, it still shows her in her maid outfit. I also need this to get the last check for the "Make her work" achievement. Dunno if this issue has come up with anyone else, so I'd appreciate any help (or a bugfix if it is indeed a repeatable bug).
I have the same problem did you find a fix?

If someone could be kind enough to post a general message in the thread that @Faerin and I are working on a solution to the graphics issue that everyone is experiencing, that would be awesome to avoid a repeat post that there's an issue and it's being looked into.

Well, here's where things get really weird. I have another desktop which is attached to my KVM.. That system is an HP Compaq 4000 small form factor and uses an Intel B43 chipset with only 2GB of RAM installed. I just FTP'd the folder with the latest version over to it to try to play, thinking I was going to run into the graphics issue that I've been seeing everybody else having. I didn't run into any problems playing it. And that hardware is a lot older than what I'm running on the rig I built myself. lol

latest, but this time the game tried to access some system files and got blocked by comodo HIPS, so i moved the game to my VM
And that's when you ran into the problem of the game not loading.. Okay, that's an easy fix. I use ESET Endpoint Antivirus and it's never flagged any of the files from this update. So I can rule out any potential malware or other software/files that may make any system changes. So what I would recommend is you add the folder for MotH to Comodo's Exclusion list and try seeing if the game will load.

I know, right?? I honestly expected to see a problem immediately after I clicked play but the splash screen loaded right away. So I'm sitting here scratching my head thinking, "WTF?!!?" :)

BTW, I haven't added any new hardware to it. As old as that thing is (and slow as hell), I don't see the point sinking any money into it. If I'm going to buy hardware, it's going to be for another build. I'll give this snail of a comp to my son. lol

Okay, so we can safely eliminate the graphics card as being the problem. The Dell doesn't have any other hardware installed other than what it came with. My first thought was that maybe.. just maybe.. a graphics card capable of handing 3D graphics might have been the issue. But after testing it on the Dell (which doesn't have a high end 3D graphics card installed), that's the wrong conclusion.

So the next step is in determining if it's related to DX.
