Weird UI display on Steam version

Post by CNY10000 »

Some texts, like in mission editor panel, often goes out of the box and gets overlayed by some other text box.

This forum doesn't allow me to upload any sceenshots.

I have disabled steam overlay and DirectWrite.

Is there any solution to that? Thanks!

Exactly which version of the game do you use?

First try deleting your command.ini file.

If that doesn't work try setting your DPI to 100%. Let us know how it goes. We want to help.

Thanks! That fixed everthing else but the mission editor panel. Is the UI in mission editor too crowded to be properly displayed?

That almost looks like you are missing a font or are using non-standard fonts in windows.

Are you on a windows machine or a Mac with a windows emulator? I agree with thewood1 the font is very non-standard for windows.

I am using win 10 upgraded from win 8.1. I don't think I have altered any font settings. Maybe it's because my localization isn't in English?

But thanks. I'm going to try something about my font.

Edit: I used the "restore to default setting" in control panal, and nothing changed.

Hey guys !

Any fix for the UI troubles in the Steam version ? I can't afford to change my resolution every now and then when I have a 30 minutes break at work (yeah, I'm playing at work sometimes ...). Here's a quick look at the result on
my screen - (nope ! I can't post any link to a picture)

You'll find my dxdiag on attachement. Thanks for the support))

Can you confirm that you've updated to the latest version of the game?

What resolution and DPI are you running the game at?

Thanks!

I'm using build 870.4. Playing on a samsung notebook 9 13.3" at 3200 x 1800 so ~276 DPI. I go at 175% but I tried it at 100, 125, and 150 and I still had the UI issues.

I'm hoping you guys can figure out what's going on cause I really enjoy this game but it's unplayable for me.
