A nifty little issue that I encountered from the get-go was that apparently I cannot have my Windows taskbar at the top of my screen. This forces the game out of fullscreen mode once it starts up and pushes the whole game view down slightly, hiding the bottom part of it.
This basically means I have to move my taskbar to the default bottom on my screen before I start the game in order to fix this "issue".
Shoddy, shoddy, shoddy.
