If you are trying to run dual monitors with the game, I would just try to disable your secondary and see if it begins working properly.

Well there is my problem. Is there any chance of dual monitor support being added?

Hi,

The dual monitor problem only happens with Windows 7, and is due to how Windows 7 deals with dual monitors when trying to load the game in a resolution different to that of your monitor.

We have noted the problem and will see if we can release a patch for this in the future.

The dual monitor problem doesn't occur if the game is played in windowed mode. However, by default it plays in fullscreen. Is it possible to make the game start up in windowed mode on first run?

Try
right click on game --> properties --> set launch options...
type "-windowed" without the " "

In Windows 7 I had to add it to Target as such:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\mole control demo\MoleControl.exe" -windowed

But it totally worked! Thank you very much! =-)

Nope, no dice here adding -windowed is not working for me.
Starting from a clean shortcut is not helping either, same result.

Zaphodikus - Are you using dual monitors?

Sorry you are having problems, we will try to sort it out!

Hi all,

We have found a workaround for this dual monitor/windows 7 problem:

Hit Windows key + p and select 'computer only' which disables the second monitor.

Hope that helps!

So do the devs just not give a rip about this game or something? It's been a year since ejr's post and apparently the game hasn't been updated. I shouldn't have to disable my second monitor to play your crappy game. You should fix your ♥♥♥♥ ups. After all we paid money for it. Never buying a game from such a worthless developer.

Um, this isn't a workaround, it's telling your paying customers "Screw you, we have your money so we aren't going to fix our game."

Devs like you deserve to go bankrupt.

Trying the demo because of the Summer sale and it runs fine on W7 x64 with no dual monitor.

I thought it kept crashing because pressing 'Esc' skips splash screens in other games but exits the game with no message or confirmation in this one.

The issue isn't a single monitor. It's a dual monitor setup that is the issue.
