I'm trying to demo Avernum 1 for the Mac. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a PowerBook G4 and just downloaded and installed Avernum v. 2.0. The game launches fine and prompts me to switch to 800X600 at thousands of colors, which is seems to do with no problem.
I then quit from the main screen (I was just installing before heading off on a business trip). The screen tries to reset back to my previous settings of 1280 X 854 and millions of colors. In fact, the computer seems to think that it has switched. However, I can only see an 800 X 600 section of the screen which unfortunately doesn't include the menu bar or dock.
If I open a Finder window and launch System Preferences, I can change resolutions in the Displays preference, but it doesn't have any effect. The only fix seems to be to reboot the computer.
Does anyone know of a way around this? I tried trashing the Avernum preferences and had the exact same thing happen again.
