For whatever reason, the game shrinks to impossibly small scale whenever it boots. I'm on a 1080p monitor and, for about 1 full second, it is almost full screened. Then, it immediately shrinks upon loading the logo screen. None of the usual tricks work for sizing it up, either. The exe is effectively unplayable for me.

Okay, I just took a look at your problem, and I can confirm that you need a “settings.json” file in order to start the game without having a system error like you’re talking about. I’ll make a fix to it within the hour.

Until then, Go to “C:\Users(Insert_User_Here)\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Carnal Witch” in the Windows Explorer, and then replace the “settings.json” code with this; {“bgm”:0,“fullscreen”:false,“resolution”:{“x”:1280,“y”:720},“sfx”:0}

If “settings.json” doesn’t exist, then make one under the same name, and copy/paste the above code. Restart the game, and then the game should load the game properly. Please let me know how that works for you, alright?

Thanks for getting back to me so fast! That was an absolutely fantastic step by step walkthrough that was both concise and professional! That all said, it sadly did not fix the issue. After walking through the steps, the application didn't run any differently no matter how many times I rebooted or even toyed with the new settings file myself. I also placed the "settings.json" file in every other subfolder just to see if anything happened. I also removed the brackets from the code and, again, no change. Typed the name and code out manually once to ensure that something didn't go wrong while copy-pasting, and again, no change. 

If it helps at all, no settings file existed to begin with, nor was one created after deleting the entire Carnal Witch folder and relaunching the game. Sadly, it seems like creating one had no effect at all. Sorry to trouble you with such a strange issue! The browser version works perfectly fine, thankfully, so I was still able to play your delightful little game all the same.

Aw…well, I tried. Maybe downloading the hotfixed version will do the trick for you? I’ve just uploaded a version that might fix the problem, and I’m now dealing with a couple bug fixes too.

Just please do me a favor and delete the “Carnal Witch Appdata” folder before turning the new version of the game on, and let me know if it works?

(Edit: Wait…You said that you put it in the subfolders? I’m not sure if you should be doing that.)
