Recently decided to take the dive and download this game on my pc. But there are a few issues i have.

Number one, i like to play my games on fullscreen, but i noticed it forces mine to widescreen when i run it, i noticed when i use taskmgr on windows 8, it fixes the issue, but i shouldnt have any issues reverting, correct?
Number two, related to one, so if i wanted to run it in windowed mode like minecraft, would i be able to, and would it go widescreen on me?
Lastly, i was wondering, should i play this game first and get a feel for it before playing harder mods like the Survivalist mod? I would really like to do a LP of this game, but i dont want to rush in like an idiot and screw up.

That pretty much sums it up. I also have my specs, if you want to take a look:
GFX:GeForce GTX 660m 2GB GDDR5
CPU: Intel Core i7 3612QM (?)
RAM: 8GB DDR3

Above is everything else that i cant list here, but i shouldnt have any problems running this game, right?

the .bat files are perfectly safe to use.

if you open e.g. the "StrandedII -win.bat" file with a text editor you'll find this:
1
2
3
4
@echo off
title Run Stranded II (windowed mode)
start StrandedII.exe -win
exit

as you can see it just starts the normal .exe file with the -win parameter.
if you want to learn more about the individual commands I'd suggest you google for "batch commands" or something.

Sweet, i will defintely try to play the game tonight.
And also, i noticed the survivalist mod has its own .exe, i assume the process for windowed mode is still the same or will it pass over to the mod or will i have to run the .bat again?
