Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Tech Help! Cant access the game anymore

I posted this also on the stream community hub

Hopefully I can get some help here cause im unsure what to do anymore.

I been playing the game for about 30 hours and still on the 1st map and loving it, well yesterday i might've broken the game...

I went to video settings and switched from fake window mode to full screen and no biggie, when i alt tabbed to windows my computer screen went black, and couldn't do anything, not even keyboard lights were coming on, i restarted the commuter, got back to the game and it was still on full screen, tried again this time, attempted both window and fake windowed.


Now I cant even get on the game anymore, when it launches it still stays in the same black screeen

suggestions? should i reinstall the game? is there a way to change the game settings before launching? I tried doing the "-windowed" command through the stream client but that didnt do ♥♥♥♥.

Did you try verifying local files? In the Steam library, right click on Divinity Original Sin and select Properties, switch to the Local Files tab and then click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache...' button.


You can edit the graphicSettings.lsx file (in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin' folder) in Wordpad, or other text editor, to manually change the resolution (see below).
If that doesn't help, delete or rename the file to get the game to recreate it the next time it starts.


Search for the section:

</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenHeight" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1600" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenWidth" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="2560" type="4" />
</node>



Search for 'fake' near the start of the file to set the display mode (if both FakeFullscreen and Fullscreen are set to zero, it will be in Window mode).

<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="FakeFullscreenEnabled" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="0" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="FrameCapFPS" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="60" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="Fullscreen" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1" type="4" />
</node>




In the '..\Documents\Larian Studios' folder you can also rename the 'Divinity Original Sin' subfolder.
This folder contains the saved games, configuration files and a level cache folder. Deleting or renaming it will get the game to recreate it on startup; playing the game from a different Windows user account would effectively do the same thing.
If just editing the config file doesn't help, but this does, you can move your saved games from the renamed folder into the newly created profile.

oh hey thanks for the reply


funny think you mentioned that... cause that's exactly what i did before i noticed any replies.

I only switched the value from full screen to 0
and the value of fakefull screen to 1(since i been playing in fake full screen all this time)


anyways thanks !
