Hi, thank you for replying to my post so quickly.
1) I'm using Windows 11 so that might be the issue, I had less problems when I was using Windows 10 and regret that I upgraded to 11, which I know is not your problem. I deleted the install folder and manually deleted the %AppData% folder to make sure all the settings were clear before I did a re-install.. but it happened again as before as soon as I saved game, exited and reloaded game save.
I installed game to c:\Games\Roguelike\WizardSchoolDropout\
The %AppData% location was:
c:\users\user\AppData\Roaming\wizardschooldropout\
or
Windows start menu -> search bar for %appdata% -> Roaming -> wizardschooldropout
Where "user" is replaced by your username. I noticed that location stored the mods and saves folders as well as prefs.sav and stats.sav so I wanted to see if deleting those then doing a clean install would fix the problem. I thought something was either wrong in the saves folder or the prefs.sav file.. but like I said it happened again as soon as I saved, exited, then reloaded save. I'm stumped on this issue lol.
2) & 3) I didn't notice the delete button or the emergency teleports options during my first play through but I did notice them after you pointed them out; that is a relief to read because those were my two biggest gripes so those are scratched off the list.
Again, thank you for the quick reply and don't worry the full screen issue is minor and I will still play upcoming releases!
