Wurm won't start when set to either of the two windowed options in settings

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am trying to run the Wurm Online Steam client in windowed mode, but it wont start with windowed or windowed resizeable, both fullscreen options work but as I play more than one character this is kind of unplayble with all of them in fullscreen.

It just sits there as a idle process eating 8% of my CPU doing nothing and I eventually have to kill it.

Also I can not change the Hz down to 60Hz from the 100Hz it insists on having, when I set it to 60Hz, save it and reopen the settings it is back to 100Hz, every other setting it does save properly though.

Can also hit me up on discord (Minniemay - to align with my current Character on the Steam Server).

 

Edit:

Apparently doing a "Run as Administrator" on it lets it start up in windowed mode... the fullscreen configuration does not require that.

Any foreseeable fix for this?

 

I have had some hefty bluescreen crashes to Wurm now since I run it as Administrator.

Wurm basically freezes up (eventlog only logs it as application hang), first the fullscreen client, then the other clients and then eventually the entire PC goes bluescreen if I do not manage to kill the Wurm tasks quick enough, avoided Bluescreen a few times as I killed them fast enough but when I do not look for 5 mins and thats when it happens then I lose.

Any other game or whatsoever zero issues, never had issues before I returned to Wurm either.

 

Java, GFX Drivers, Motherboard Drivers, BIOS, Windows and whatsoever is fully up to date.

(Did a fully Update cycle after it did this for the first time, but apparently that did not fix a thing.)

Odd Update to this...

 

This morning I booted my PC as usual, tried to start Wurm.... nothing, same issue as above but this time with admin privileges, the situation somehow reversed.

Now I could start Wurm only without admin... but ingame when moving my mouse cursor my FPS would drop to 3 (from a stable 60) otherwise, was unplayable.

Also the steamoverlay.exe would frequently hang and not stop itself properly when stopping a steam client.

 

I went ahead and updated nvidia driver, java and iCue (Corsair software) and then it reversed again, I am basically back to where I was the other day, can only run Wurm as admin.
