Malsanity -> Issue with text and window (5/22/2016 5:05:14 PM)

Hi there,

I am unable to read anything. Don't know if it's the size, the font or something else, but I can't even get past the first tutorial.

Is it possible to change the font to something more readable, like Oswald? Maybe a mod?

Bonus question: changed the ini to change the resolution to 1920x1080, but now it's windowed. Is it possible to make it fullscreen or simply borderless?

Thanks!

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.

add the exe of the game to your Anti Virus and firewall program, to make sure check the logs of these to see if it was one if any of them was to blame.

That usually means a 3rd party program, like an Internet security programs, is or could be interfering with the game or update installation.

run the game from a admin account and use full admin permissions.

please make sure all game pre requisite are installed with the game, even if you think or fully know there are already installed, it will only over write, and it may be that you have a older or newer version of these where as the game in question may need a certain version.

please make sure you are running the latest game version and have up to date drivers installed on your pc,

If you have the original version. So you'll need to update it from the Internet.
Please note that you'll only need the last update, as the updates are comprehensive. (not needed with steam)

You're kidding, right?

I ask how to change the font and you ask for my DxDiag?

the more information i have, the better i can answer, so yes

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=792&p=&tmode=1&smode=1

i have no idea if your running a Mac using bootcamp.

no idea if using windows what version you use, so harder to give the correct advice.

have no idea what DPI or resolution you are using in your system, so hardware advice would just be a guess.

also no idea why it's not displaying correctly on your resolution etc, all this information and more is or would be in the report asked for.

so yes a simple request for a report is needed for a more correct reply, thanks
