Update 5.2.9 - screen issue

[wolfpinguin]

After the install of the update i have an very odd issue.

at te game screen don't have access to the different key.
The mouse-arrow is only possible within a certain surface of the screen (see picture -red rectangle)
It happens in aal different resolutions
My basic screensettings are not changed and are allways 1920x1080

within the red rectangle all is possible

When leaving the game with the Windows logo key (without closing the game so only putting it in the taskbar) and returning back to it (from the taskbar) all is normal.
Any idea to solve the problem?

I've had the mouse cursor issue a couple of times with dual screens. Usually whenever I've had both steam and slitherine game versions installed.
I have you tried renaming the My Games etc Settings folder to ie _Settings and restart the game to rebuild the folder?

[wolfpinguin]

I renames de Settings folder en restarted the game.
The game screen was now ok and all functions ok
After changing the screen resolution in "options" to 1600x900 the problem is there again.
Before the update 5.2.9 i didn't have any problem.

What now?

If you want to run the game at 1600x900 on a 1080 display, you'll need to run it in Windowed mode. (This is actually how I often play the game).

At the moment, the display is stretching to fit your screen, but the input bounding box is set to the top 1600x900 of your screen.

Before the update i hadn't this problem.
Why its hapening now?
Can it be fixed?
I don't like to play in wondowed mode.

Can I ask, why are you playing in 1600x900 when you have a 1080 display?

[wolfpinguin]

While my eyes aren't so good with the text and some unit pics.(I'm over 60 )

My eyes are tired on the 1080 after a while.

Onthe 1600x900 is better to play for me.

Sorry

W.

[Shards]

Nothing to apologize for

I'll ask why this might have changed (I wasn't aware that you could do a workaround like this previously)

After this new update, I can’t move my mouse anywhere on the
Screen except in a rectangle in the upper left.

I have been playing for years, now I can’t even select single
Player to start the game because my mouse is stuck.

I can’t get to the options button at the bottom of the screen
To see if it is stuck in window mode.

Pls fix...

@Dolphins21
Delete the Settings folder that can be found in the Windows documents folder:
...\Documents\My Games\Order of Battle - WW2

Vpaulus this isn't solving the problem

I renamed de Settings folder en restarted the game.
The game screen was now ok and all functions ok

Possible temporary solution :
- start the game
- leave the game with the Windows logo key (without closing the game so only putting it in the taskbar)
- returning back to the game(from the taskbar)
- all works normal.

Waiting for sustaining solution

Yep, confirmed that work around works for me as well. Thanks for updating! It'll help with debugging and also other users who're having this issue.

Can't get it into windowed mode at all, even with a fresh Settings folder.

EDIT: Whew, that was a Battle of Ordeal (BOO, the doppelgänger of OOB). Two Settings folder deletions sandwiched around a reboot, but I finally got it into Windowed Mode. At a couple of points, I did experience the same "invisible box" phenomenon described by wolfinpinquin and Dolphins21.

hi,

We've put out an open beta that we believe fixes this

It's only on Steam for now, but will come to Slitherine users as soon as we know it's working

Thanks

Hi Shards,

Thx for the swift support
