Also, is there a way to expand the message block?
Resolution is set correctly in the ini, and results are the same when windowed or full screen.

Otherwise it's located here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4030153

Yes I did, prior to posting about this.

Note that the problem gets worse the closer the right-clicked stack is to the center of the map (no counters are visible at all in the popup window). The example above was a best case scenario of right clicking the furthest right stack, as far to the right on the stack, as possible.

1024 x 768. I do appreciate less scrolling in the results window, and can work around the "new wrinkle."

I cannot access the Start buttons for AFVs...

1) I select a tank on the Map.

2) I hit "Start" buttons that appears to overlay the Results window.

3) The tank is deselected in the Units window and a blinking cursor appears in the Results window.

4) The tank does not start and cannot be reselected.

I believe the Results windows is overlaying the AFV buttons in the logic, while the AFV buttons are overlaying the Results window in the graphics.

That will work for the AFVs for now... thanks. IS THE NEWER PATCH READY YET? *grin*

...of course, I still don't know who is in a stack on the right side of map (You don't expect me to keep having to read the Units display do you?! *grin*).

Yes, that is the patch that didn't fix the stack display and caused the new problem with the Results window.

Status: offline 		Hi all,

I am facing the same display problem after installing the V1.0.2.7 patch, in which I cannot start/stop AFVs. So I have gone back to the Day Zero patch. Is that the only solution now in order to play the game? Otherwise, what are the keyboard shortcut keys for starting, stopping and reversing AFVs? Thanks!

F Start AFV Forward
B Start AFV Reverse
S Stop AFV

Status: offline 		Current state of these 1024x768 bugs, as of this date...

1) The stack display is now centered and thus readable for all hex columns, but it is inconsistent on whether you have to click it to shut, it or not. The inconsistency is irritating and rhythm-breaking in the heat of the moment! It really should be one way or the other all the time. Can this be fixed?

2) Results box is still too small and must be side-scrolled to get results after EVERY combat (Does ANYBODY like side-scrolling?). This still needs a permanent fix to make the game user-friendly.

Hi E,

the 1024x768 resolution is really too small to properly support it in the game. The POPUP window is simply too big and the Action Log window is too small for this resolution. Considering that 1024x768 resolution is ancient these days, I can't focus on specifically developing functionality just for this small resolution. I made some changes in the code to address some glaring issues where buttons wouldn't size properly etc but its never going to be perfect, I'm sorry.

I and other 1024x768 users are not worth the effort. Got it.

(It's a shame too, because I did do my research before buying the game, and erroneously thought "support" meant something different than 'Well, it won't crash'... )

quote:

ORIGINAL: Paullus (2/25/2016)
...The following resolutions are supported by the game
1024 x 768, 1280 x 800, 1360 x 768, 1366 x 768, 1536 x 864, 1280 x 960, 1440 x 900, 1280 x 1024, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 900, 1600 x 1200, 1920 x 1080, 1920 x 1200, 2560 x 1440.


And this falls into the "Sort Of/Maybe" category....
