UI Error

I recently made the poor choice of trying to learn the difference in the main menu between what I believe is called the DBX vs SBX settings, and can no longer navigate the menu buttons with the mouse, instead getting distorted or outright unresponsive mouse click results. I was wondering if there is a way to reset those settings to their defaults?

Possibly. Delete the config file in the LOMSE folder.

That did the trick! Thank you. I'm curious though, besides mucking up your machine, what is the difference between the DB and SB settings?

I believe the Readme file generated after installation would have that info.

Readme Text

-The Hercules Graphics (Thriller 3d) and Matrox Mystic video cards seem to have an incompatibility with Microsoft's blitfast function in Direct X. As a result, users may suffer significant video and gameplay slowdowns.

We have included an option in LOM SE in the options menu that will turn this feature off and allow LOM SE to use our Software Emulator to handle blits. If you have either of the two video cards mentioned above, and are experiencing video slowdowns, this will drastically improve video and game performance and allow you to better enjoy our product.

To turn on Software Blit, simply open the options panel and click on the button which says DX BLIT, this will change it to say SW BLIT once you've done that your ready to play!

NOTE: This feature should not be used for any other purpose, as it will result in poorer performance on other video cards.
