I'm unable to run Sandmade

Every time I try to run Sandmade I get the following error:

Switching to resolution 640x480 failed, trying lower one

All resolution switches have failed
Screen: DX11 could not switch resolution (1920x1080 fs=1 hz=0)

My OS is Windows 7.

Upd: my normal screen resolution is 1920x1080, other Unity games work fine.

Hi TonyK,

Sorry for responding so late. There weren't any new posts in the Sandmade forum for so long that I forgot to keep checking.

Anyway, did you manage to solve it? I can't reproduce the error but I googled it and there's a solution that seems to work. It's described here:

https://gtm.you1.cn/app/261570/discussions/0/1489992713709504645/

"Go to Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common.
Now select the folder of the game with which you have problems, open it, right click on the game icon and go to "properties".
Now go to "compatibility" and check the "disable full screen optimization" box. Click ok."

Hello,

I tried several solutions too, bit didn't succeed with any.

Specifically this solution doesn't work, because there's no "disable full screen optimization" checkbox on Windows 7 (it seems it's Windows 10 feature). I mentioned OS version in the topic because of this. Checking other boxes doesn't help either.
