Will BFTB fix the display problem that COTA had?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Post by tacfire »

Hello, I am looking forward to this game, but...

Will we be able to keep large size font on our computer displays and play this game, or is the old problem that we had with COTA still not addressed?

The problem can be found in the COTA forums in this thread:

tm.asp?m=1422072


I use a laptop on high resolution and Normal Size Font on my computer screen is just unreadable. I hope this issue will be addressed, because switching between normal size and large size fonts on my computer screen messes up the desktop arrangment on my laptop, and if not fixed then I probably won't buy the game this time.

tacfire,

I'm sorry but there is no way we can accomodate large sized fonts within the current draw engine.

tacfire really is correct in this regard. I come across laptops all the time that I have to lower the resolution on in order to get any work done. Of course, when the display resolution gets switched out of native, everything is a little blurry around the edges. This is an excellent reason not to buy a laptop to play games on! BTW, I've heard/read that if you drop the resolution by exactly half, say from 1600x1200 to 800x600, the blurring doesn't occur.
