Graphic UI issues in latest patch

Post by Mercutio »

Hopefully someone can help here. Since the patch I have noticed a couple of things that are driving me nuts.
1) When I load the game (3840 x 2160) the main menu will not let me move the mouse cursor to the menu on the bottom or far right. If I alt-tab out and come back it works. However, this is annoying.
2) When I load a scenario it doesn't fill the whole width leaving about an inch of screen dark on the left and right. While disappointing, the aggravating part is to scroll left or right with the mouse I have to stop on the edge of the visible map, not the left or right of the screen itself. This also drives me nuts.

Yes, first world problems, wish I had a 4k so I could whine too, etc.... :)

1) I think that's connected with the mod launcher window. Maybe if you started the game in 4K windowed mode first and then fullscreen, it could help. Personally I can't play with that resolution as the text and UI become tiny and unreadable for me.
2) Don't have that

7.1.6 gave me a few UI and display issues too like Mercutio's, so I went into my Nvidia resolution screen and set it to 1280 x 768 (non-windowed), and also set it to the same reso in the game video options screen and it cured it.
I presume that after 7.1.6 I had to "remind" the game that I wanted 1280 x 768.
PS- like Gabe said, higher resos make me crosseyed because the text is too small, so in OOB and most other games I find 1280 x 768 is very comfortable.

Okay, now I know what you mean. It's really annoying - at least easy to "fix" :| :roll:

Please make the game compatible with higher-than-1080p-resolutions in the next update! But most importantly increase the UI scaling with 4K resolutions.
