Getting Ceville to run on Windows 7, 8 or 10

By Sturm

If you purchased Ceville and are running Windows 7, 8, or 10, you might run into the problem that if you try to launch the game in Steam, the game will not start at all. Your screen might flicker a bit, perhaps even go black for a second, and then you'll be returned to the Steam application. If you run into this, here's how you can get the game to run.

Getting Ceville to run on Windows 7, 8 or 10

Press the Windows-key on your keyboard
Type "run" (without parentheses) and hit the Enter-key
In the box that appears, type "%UserProfile%" (again, without parentheses) and click "Ok" or hit the Enter-key
Windows explorer will pop up in your personal profile folder (usually C:\Users\<your Windows user name>\ )
Go to the "Documents" folder and then the "Ceville" folder
Right-click with your mouse on a blank space in the folder, and select "New" --> "Text document"
Name the new file "config.cfg" (without parentheses)
Open the file you've just created; use Notepad
Enter the following into the file (note: you should set the width and height equal to your monitor's resolution, which might be different from the 1024x768 entered in the example below; you can also leave these numbers, get the game to run and then change the resolution from the Options menu within the game later):
[graphic] shadows_enabled=true compositors_enabled=true gamma_exponent=1.2 fidelity=hi full_screen=false width=1024 height=768 color_depth=32 vsync=true display_frequency=60
Save the file
Return to Steam and launch the game again; it should work now

After opening the game, I also turned off full-screen effects which seems to have removed that in game blurring of clickable objects

Also, as DeathWish808 said don't allow the game to make changes when you first start the game

Hi, I am using a MSI Katana laptop running Windows 11. This solution fixed it for me. Remember to change full-screen to false so the cutscreens work & remember to change the width & height to your specific resolution (mine is 1920 x 1080)

Windows 10 here. When you click to run it and it asks if it can makes changes, etc, just click NO and it'll run just fine.

@Xxeny lol, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, but that -is- actually kinda funny :-) Regarding the hamster, you're not doing anything wrong, really. After adjusting the clock, you immediately "Go back" at the bottom of the screen, go to the hamster and take it.

LOL! I thought you meant get Ceville to literally run while playing the game. I'm having trouble catching the fat hamster. I double click the mouse (that is the way to get a character to run in Ceville), but the game is very slow to back out of the close-up view when setting the grandfather clock time, and then there is a bit of "skipping" done by Ceville the character, and he tends to walk towards the little castle, and not run to it, so I have to double click again, but always when I click to take hamster, the time has run out, and the hamster gets back inside the little castle. I'm a bit tired of retrying, over and over again.
Nice of you though to try and help folks who may be having troubles in running their game.
