Hi folks,
When I run Sunless Sea (from either desktop icon, or from within steam library), I'm having a problem: after a power outage last night, the game opens in a super small window that cannot be enlarged/maximized.
I tried uninstalling the game, then re-installing. When that had no effect with the mini window problem, I uninstalled the game again, then uninstalled steam, and then re-installed both: no devilbone dice! The game is still opening in the mini-window, and I'm unable to play, or delete the last save, et&c. (I'm unsure if the last save was an auto- or one of my manual).
((hmm... I tried to upload a screen capture of my desktop with the mini window shown, but it looks as if we're unable to add images - anyway, on my screen the window is about 0.5" tall by 2" wide, with a tiny little ~2 pixel high sliver showing the game))
Has anyone ever had this problem & found a solution?
Thanks in advance for your help

You should try emailing support - according to the FAQ sticky this should be the right email: sunlesssea@failbettergames.com

Thanks, Sara
I went ahead and emailed (sunlesssea@failbettergames.com) with jpg captures, et&c., but the automated ticket notes that it could be awhile, as folks are attending the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco (Mar 14-18). I was hoping someone here might know of a possible solution in the meantime.

You could try holding down the Shift key when starting up the game (just keep it pressed as you click the game icon / Steam Play button). Some Unity based games then open the configuration window where you might be able to change your settings.
