Problem is when I launch the game it appears in windowed mode in middle of the screen - fair enough ,I just check the fullscreen box and hit apply....screen adjusts and main splash screen re-appears full screen but my pointer won't move out of an invisible boxed area about a fifth of total screen size,like its' still in windowed mode ...so I'm unable to click on start . I've to cntr/alt/delete my way out . I can go back to windowed by alt/enter. I've verified the game files . I've an MSI laptop runnning an i7 ,16 gbs Ram, GTX980m gfx card . The screen is 4k but I'm selecting to run in 1080x1020 (no resolution settings make any difference). Strange that I've played it before (can't recall which version/patch) and even recorded my initial footage. Thanks to any suggestions .
