Menu screen bugged - 11/30/2016 6:18:35 PM

Hi !

I installed Ligny and Quatre-Bras a few days ago.
Since then I have a problem with the menu screen.

When I push the "Start Game" button, the picture with all the options appears in a so huge size that I only have a small part of this windows, the upper left corner in fact.
So I cant choose any scenarios or anything else, I dont see any buttons.

Have you already experience this bug ?

I'm on W10 and I have put the "run as administrator" magic touch !

Thx for youe tips.

site or steam version?

patch level and error report messages?

How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8 press �Windows key� and the �R� key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8 )
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments (zip) rather than pasted into the body of the post.

I DLed all from the site.
I have the last updated version of the game.
As it's a "graphic like" bug, there's no error message.

Here follow the dxdiag

no game related errors in the report which is good, latest version and all drivers up to date, but also means i have nothing to go on.

User DPI Setting: Using System DPI
System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)

so normal

Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 which is what i'm also using

so for me can you install this and re try

DXSETUP, from the _CommonRedist folder in side the game

thanks

Open your Windows Documents folder, find a folder named "SowWL" and rename it as "_SowWL".
Run the game a nd check if the issue persists.

The modification has changed the window size...
Now I have access to the menu, but I habve another major bug...

I dont have any of the Quatre-Bras scenarios, and the Ligny scenarios are empty and they dont launch any game...
