Hi!
I downloaded the original Drammatical Murder years ago when it first came out and used an english patch to play it on my Windows laptop. It worked fine for a very long time, I finished the game and didn't play for a while. I wanted to play it again today, so I opened the folder, clicked the icon and let it run. It started normally, and even goes through the opening 'credits' before the Main Menu fine, but there's something wrong with the screen. The window has zoomed in on the left side of the screen, so I can only see the left 'corner' part of what is happening ie the start of the sentences, but nothing else. I know I had the same problem years ago when I first started playing, but it's been so long that I can't remember how I fixed it. I really want to play again and wam pretty desperate for help!!
I'm running Windows 8.1, it says DirectX is fully updated, the system locale was changed to Japanese, the sdrt programs have been run. Nothing major has changed on the laptop, so I have no idea why it's only showing a portion of the screen like this!! I've also restarted the laptop three times, tried playing the game from a file on my hard drive instead but both times it still showed the same section of screen and not the whole window! And yes, I've tried zooming out 😭
Lastly: I have seen it work on a normal full screen and have played it on this laptop so I know it's capable of working.
Please help!
