RE: Message Log issues

ok, I spoke too soon. Using the message log window still quickly crashes the main map display. Log attached.

RE: Message Log issues

Bump as the game remains unplayable for me. Just tried a couple of run throughs of the flight tutorial #4 with the same results on the latest build (1115.7).

RE: Message Log issues

Additional: I managed to get 1 bombing run in before this occurred, using the Message Log window up and down maybe 5 times.

Does anyone know a work around (e.g. key) to not use the up / down arrow?

RE: Ctrl-M closes map and exits game

<t> I think you are on the right track Michael. If you click on the main window to make sure that has the mouse focus, then Cntrl M, the message log clears correctly. If I click on the message log window and then Cntrl M all sorts of incorrect stuff happens - generally the pop out window comes up ...

<t> Hi Michael,<br/>
<br/>
Thank you for the help, the exception log is attached - seems to show some problems...<br/>

I have narrowed down the program hanging to the Flight Tutorial scenarios, particularly #5. I can reproducibly "up arrow" and "down arrow" the message log window and cause ...

RE: Ctrl-M closes map and exits game

<t> I'm seeing a similar issue (posted in a separate thread). For me any interaction with the Message Log will fairly quickly crash the game. Usually the map display locks up, sometimes a crash to desktop. I've tried everything I can think of but at the moment the game seems unplayable on my system ...

<t> Hope someone can help, I have all sorts of problems related to the message log window making the game unplayable.<br/>

Cntrl M or Cntrl Shift M sometimes crash the program to desktop, running the log in a separate window particularly or generally using the Message log will eventually ...

We don't like it and we won't! [:)]

I failed to realize that we reached a moment in history where we can't discuss that a corporation may have gone over the line in balancing their corporate profit with customer service - possibly (hopefully?) to their detriment.

However, I don't think anyone in this thread has mentioned that there is no LAN support for multiplayer- you have to log in to a Battlenet account. As a result ...

RE: Screen layout suggestion

<t> John - the hotkey T does toggle on/off the boxes in 2 steps, effectively collapsing them, quite useful in some cases. However, I personally rarely do so except during maybe battles - it's just too slow to do it all the time for me - hence my suggestion to make the best use of the screen area we ...

Screen layout suggestion

<t> I know lots of folks are having a hard time with the font in game and have to use lower screen resolutions than they normally would to see the text. The problem with this is we lose lots of usuable playing area in the middle of the screen when the text/display boxes grow. Compare running at ...

RE: Resupply ship bug (?) save file

<t> I've seen the resupply ship either (a) not deploy and immediately move to a distant refuel source after arriving, (b) deploy and then, after a variable delay undeploy, and move to the remote refuel source or (c) do what it should i.e. deploy and stay deployed until ordered otherwise.<br/>

RE: ship fuel use

<t> Thanks for the idea lordxorn but unfortunately that does not seem to be the issue. I just retested deploying the resupply unit on the same gas giant multiple times from a game save with hit and miss results. More miss than hit [:)]<br/>

RE: ship fuel use

<t> I'm also seeing a similar thing - a resupply ship I have stationed at a gas giant can be ordered to deploy and occassionally it will do so. However, most of the time the resupply ship simply reverts to looking for its own fuel at a distant supply base and then runs out of fuel trying to get ...
