Since 1.03
1. In head to head mode, playing first as Nato then switching to Warsaw Pact I can make out
the path of the of the Nato forces side, using the same paramaters the preview mode does not work.
2. In the select game options window the "Show waypoints during turn resolution" the lettering is garbled.
3. In the map display section lower right hand corner in the Report, Orders, SitRep and SOP info the last button or option for selection is covered over by the Weather/Number of turns/and hex info bar.

Storm95,

What OS, video card, and resolution are you running? Your first point sounds like a bug and we'll look into it, but the last 2 sound video related like a very low resolution on your screen or some kind of driver problem. Is any other text unreadable? Let us know so we can help you out.

EDIT: The first item is a bug and I've sent it on to Rob to hopefully get fixed with the soon to release 104 patch. In the meantime you need to turn off the waypoints as the NATO player when you are done with your orders to keep them from showing to the WP player until we can fix this. Thanks for the heads up!

Marc,

Can you get and post a screenshot showing the problems? Other then the 440 being an older card I don't really see anything that out of place. We may be able to tell more actually looking at the screenshot. One other thing to look for is a FPG Report.txt file in the main game folder. If you have that file could you post it as well.

We'll get to the bottom of your trouble.

The game was developed with almost exactly this config and I'm at a bit of a loss to think what might be causing this. A screen shot really would help if you can manage it.

Cheers, Rob.

If you don't have a painting program or alike with the function, you can hit print screen key on your keyboard, open paint or any other graphics program, go to edit in the menu and hit paste. You should end up with a large bitmap of the screen. From there save the bmp. You may need to zip the file. Upload the zip to your message.

Hope that makes sense.

Storm, did you have any luck getting the screen shot? I am still curious to know what this was about.

Thanks, Rob.

I looked at the settings of my video card, the DPI setting was at 120 switched them to 96 (normal) and everything looks great ! Thanks for the follow up by the way.

Thats very interesting - I always wondered what the effect of that would be!

Thanks for letting us know how that turned out. Cheers, Rob.
