I have been having the same problem and have concluded that my bad screen is the problem. Is your screen quite small, second hand or made before 2007?

Welcome to the forum, @Igor_Frajfeld11

If you need to return to window mode and the game is crashing you can go to the folder where Stonehearth is installed, and open the user\_settings.json file with any text editor.

There on the “renderer” section set “enable\_fullscreen” to false, save, and restart the game.

It might be the problem that @TheKey123 is mentioning, fullscreen mode is not working for some users.  
Do you have a crash.dmp file inside the folder where you have Stonehearth installed, from after trying to play in fullscreen?  
It could be useful to diagnose the problem, also a stonehearth.log file from right after the crash (same folder).

If you could upload them here, maybe we can get a dev to take a look next week.

Never give anyone your steam account details (and that won’t help anyway).

Somewhere on your computer you’ll have a folder called “SteamLibrary” (e.g. possibly “C:\SteamLibrary” depending on where Steam was told to put itself when Steam was installed). Find that. Inside it will be a more folders. You want to go to the “SteamApps” folder, then the “common” folder, then “Stonehearth” folder. This is the folder you want (e.g. the full thing might be “C:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Stonehearth”).

Inside the “StoneHearth” folder you’ll find a file called “stonehearth.log”. That’s the log file that’s going to help. In the same folder you’ll find the “user\_settings.json” file that Relyss mentioned too (you can edit that with a plain old text editor like Notepad).
