Jumbled text messages

Post by bruce205 »

Hey Jason and Company,
Have an issue after installing 1.20 patch. Going through bootcamp scenarios I am getting jumbled and unreadable text in the popup progress boxes. The instruction popup boxes are fine but the ones that come after that as you progress through the scenarios. I have tried different bootcamp scenarios and its still jumbled and unreadable. It appears to to have different font sizes and it gets mashed together. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Bruce

I'm playing through the first bootcamp and everything is looking normal thus far with 1.20.

May you show what you're seeing, please?

OK, thank you!

Of course, when I use my screenshot, the resolution sucks.

Ugh, damn forum. LOL

It looks like the same text is displaying in the dialog twice.

Please do the following:
  • In Windows Explorer, empty the game Logs folder.
  • Launch one of the problematic BootCamp scenarios.
  • At the start of game play, immediately do a Ctrl+Alt+3. You should then see a pop-up dialog indicating "new log level 3".
  • Play the scenario several turns in. Presumably you will see the issue again, more than once.
  • While still in game, zip up your Logs/engine.log and post here as an attachment.
Seeing your engine.log (with heightened, verbose trace logging) is vital to debugging this.

Good luck.

Not being impatient Berto but was my zip file done correctly or do I need to try again? Thanks and hope you figure it out :)

This issue -- which pointed to a deep, underlying flaw -- has been fixed. The user reports resolution of the issue.

We will likely be releasing a v1.21 bug-fix patch for this sooner rather than later.
