tedbert86 -> What month and year is it? (6/3/2007 2:47:26 AM)

What is the easiest way to find out what month (and early/late) and year it is while playing?



Gil R. -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/3/2007 2:51:13 AM)

When on the main map it's in the lower-left, just below the "End Turn" button.

We had one report in which someone couldn't see numbers along the bottom line -- though I haven't heard back yet on what I suspect might be causing it.  If you can't see the date, can you see any other information at the bottom of the screen?



tedbert86 -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/5/2007 6:10:54 PM)

I cannot see any information, including the date, along the bottom line below the "End Turn" button. All that is there is a thick black bar that looks like the bottom of a picture frame. What all am I missing and could you please help fix it for me? Thanks.

Can you check to see what size your windows fonts are set at?  That's probably the problem, something I can easily fix if so.



tedbert86 -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/7/2007 4:29:18 PM)

Here is the information you requested.

Display Properties, Appearance tab, Font size => Normal
Display Properties, Settings tab, Advanced => Display large size 120 dpi (125% normal size)

Thanks for the help

did you resolve your issue yet Ted?



ericbabe -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/8/2007 3:50:12 PM)

That 125% is probably the reason why you're seeing this problem then.  I should be able to fix this issue in the next patch; you might try dropping the 125 down to 100% as a workaround until then.



Eric Estes -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/11/2007 4:59:19 AM)

Thanks Eric; I was having the same problem and your suggestion fixed it.



tedbert86 -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/12/2007 11:30:06 PM)

Unfortunately dropping the 125% back down to normal did not help on my computer. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.



ericbabe -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/13/2007 3:44:34 AM)

Did you try restarting the system after you changed the settings?  Some of those types of system settings aren't fully set until after reboot.



Eric Estes -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/13/2007 1:56:48 PM)

For what it's worth, I did have to reboot after changing the settings to get it to take effect.



tedbert86 -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/22/2007 8:26:15 PM)

All on this thread - Thank you very much for all of your help - after making the changes and rebooting things worked as desired and I could see the date and the rest of the information on the bottom line. I would appreciate it if you guys at WCS and Matrix could fix it in the next patch though, because I need my original settings for the rest of what I use the computer for and rebooting in between is a pain. Thanks again.



bbmike -> RE: What month and year is it? (6/25/2007 1:42:33 AM)

Another place where it would be nice to see the date is on the Military Overview screen. Minor, I know, but it would make going through all of screenshots later much easier.[;)]
