Can't get game to work on Windows 10
First let me say that I'm not a programmer and don't really get most of this programming technical stuff. So please dumb it down for me. So, the only installer that I could see for Windows was for 7/Vista/etc. Nothing that says windows 10. I'm running Windows 10 on an Asus X751M series laptop with an interactive touch screen. If you want any other info about it please ask me so I can get it for you. So, after I run the installer and start the game, I click generate and it builds the world, but as soon as it starts to build and load, the screen starts sliding/scrolling to the left of the world map and just hangs there. If I try to go anywhere in the map it won't move. Just stuck in the bottom left corner. I've tried changing it's compatibility and it didn't work. Any suggestions on how to fix so I can play?
Re: Can't get game to work on Windows 10
try going into the compatibility settings (usually by right-clicking on the program) and disable display scaling.
also, try using the windowed mode (alt+enter)

unable to click on ANY of the options under combatibility mode then settings as they are all greyed out whether I'm in the admin or even the basic user account.

also tried the alt-enter mode and no change. tried alt tab back and forth a few times, no change.

Maybe this helps:

When you are back to your desktop,
click right on the OTTD-icon on the screen (not an icon in a taskbar !)
When you click the right mouse button a small menu appears.
In the small menu choose "solve compatability problems"
In a small window it immediately starts " looking for a solution of the problem".
You see a moving bar and after some time you get a new small window.
Then you get two choices (without giving further information) :
1. try advised solution. Do NOT choose this one ! In my case I got a black screen and needed a hard reset to get out.
2. solve problem with this program. Choose this one.
You get another window with four 4 choices:
1 "the program worked in older versions of windows but now it cannot .... etc)
2. The program opens but not in the right aspects
3. The program needs other instructions ( something like this)
4.The problem is not in the list
Choice number 2 worked fine for me.
The "compatability trick" works under windows 8.1 and now also under windows 10 and for many types of screening problems as well.
Hope this works for you too.
