Issues

If you're getting blank buttons in the main menu, most likely your system's native language is not english. OpenApoc already has translations in multiple languages, but doesn't have the fonts yet. Therefore, you will have to set it to english to work for now.

Steps to change language to English

1. Create file named "OpenApoc_settings.conf" inside OpenApoc folder.
2. Put these two strings of text in it and save:

[Framework]
Language=en_GB.UTF-8

1. Next time you launch OpenApoc, you'll be all set!​

To make a full screen

1. Put these lines of text into a config file and save:

[Framework.Screen]
Width=1920
Height=1080
Fullscreen=1​

To disable the intro movie

1. Put these lines of text into a config file and save:

[Game]
SkipIntro = 1

​

When you want to try out a newer version

1. Just repeat steps 2-4 above. At this time, better use a new folder and delete the old one every time you update, as an in-place update may bug out in some way.​

Take note, this will be edited once the game is out
