Blank Weather Forecast

Post by 76mm »

I wanted to report a strange little bug with the weather report form which appears at the beginning of each impulse and which can be called up from the info menu: while the form appears, it is blank, with no % re the various types of weather. I'm not getting any kind of error message.

So far all of the other forms I've seen appear to be normal, and when the game was installed on my NAS (rather than from my desktop as now), I saw the form with all of the % data in it.

Any bright ideas?

I thought I'd mention that this problem (along with a couple of other display issues) went away when I changed the general Windows font setting from Medium to Small (can't give exact Windows references because Windows is in Russian on my computer).

Yes, the Windows font size needs to be set to Small (100%). There are a lot of different problems that occur when it is larger.

I've added that as one of the Windows Advisory items in the What's New (Read Me) file. I want to keep the advisory items at the top of the What's New report even though most of them will no longer be 'new' in the future. Making sure that new players see them is more important that the mislabeling in my opinion.

Well, I hope so, I'm American! But if you're from the former mother-country or another sister-colony, I will take it as a complement! [:)]
