DONT restart after a resolution change

The game is great, one of the best in the series, totally worth the price (in sale). Just a reminder, if you had any trouble running SC3K on Windows 10 or 8, specially with the sudden laggy menus, i think i figured it out... just don't allow the game to restart the game after changin resolution. If you wanna change it, do it, but then close de windows asking you if you want to restart because the game need so to make the change, if you do that (according to my 4 days terrible experience, searching solution like Windows Compatibility Toolkin ATM, uninstalling the game via Revo Uninstaller, adding parameters to the shortcut) the game will bug and will stutter on the menus where you create your land.. then no matter if you restart it, it will do it again. If you already have the game and entered this vicious cycle, don't worry. There is a solution.. force the game to run in window mode adding a parameter "-w -r:1280x1024" to a shortcut to it. You will see the game wont lag in window mode.. change the resolution again, create a town, save it. If you can Now close the game and, if you can, restart your PC. Open it again without the shortcut and it will run just fine. You may wanna change the resolution again, but just don't accept the game query to restart it for you. Just close that window and restart it yourself. Apart from that, the game is just excellent, way a milestone in the franchise. The best music in the series and the best atmosphere in my opinion.
