[RESOLVED] 4k/UHD UI problems

[Sniper31]

I appreciate the work on the 4k/UHD UI. However, I am having display problems still. The text is all readable, but all of the unit icons are incredibly small (I run on a laptop with a 1070 GTX GPU and a 4K UHD 17.3" IPS display), so small that I cannot read any of the text in the data blocks and can barely make out what each icon is. Also, the black info bar at the top of the map window is half overlaying the menu bar info, rendering the game speed area unreadable. My screen resolution is at 3840x2160 (native) and my DPI is set at 200%. I have tried several other DPI's to no avail. I also delete the Command.ini each time, and run the preferextmanifest file each time I try a different DPI. I am running the 936.4 build.

Any suggestions? CMANO is unplayable in it's current state for me.

I have also tried the work around method as suggested by Sunburn, but it does not work any better (or worse) than the 936.4 build. Even when running in 1920x1080 resolution, I get the black info bar issue and also the unit icons are incredibly small.

Anyone have any further ideas or suggestions on this? I really just want to play Command and enjoy it as it's such a great game and warfare simulation. It is simply unplayable for me right now.

Hi,

Can you post a few screenshots demonstrating your issues? If we know exactly where the pain points are, we can try to resolve them individually. Thanks!

[Sniper31]

Okay, I have two good screenshots that illustrate my issues very well, but having problems uploading them. I have a Photobucket account that I usually upload pictures too that I upload to the 'net, but their site is down right now. Any other suggestions on uploading the screenshots I have taken for you all to look at?

imgur ?

[Sniper31]

Okay, I have images uploaded to Imgur (good suggestion btw, I had forgotten about them) but now when I try to post them I get the forum board message saying I cannot post links, emails or phone numbers seven days from my tenth post.

Suggestions?

[mavfin]

Can you PM them to Sunburn?

[Sniper31]

I can try that...

[Sniper31]

Okay Sunburn, PM sent with two screenshots included.

I am still having the same 4k display problems, and I still cannot post my screenshots to showcase the problems I am seeing on this forum for another 7 days (not sure I understand the reason behind that policy). I also tried to PM the screenshots, two of them, to Sunburn a few days ago, but I do not know if they went through, as I have heard nothing in reply. I realize you all are busy folks, but maybe some kind of virtual nod that you guys are aware of my problem? I have the same display issues on both a gaming laptop 4k UHD display, running on a GTX 1070 GPU and ALSO on a gaming desktop with an LG 4K UHD display running a GTX 1080 GPU. As I have purchased a copy of Command direct from the Matrix website way back when this game was in it's early days, and also purchased a Steam version over a year ago, I have tried BOTH versions and I have the same display issues in both, on both computers and displays. Of course I have tried several reinstalls of Command as well. Really at a loss here guys.....

Hi,

I got your PM and will look into it. Yes, we are ridiculously busy and haven't forgotten you. Thanks!

Spammers. We don't like this measure either but it's out of our hands (Matrix owns the forum).

[Sniper31]

Affirmative Sunburn, on both of your posts above. Thank you on all fronts. I will keep standing...

[Dimitris]

Right, the screenshots are definitely not the desired "end state". Something is going wrong.

Can you double-check a couple of things:

* Can you check the there is a file called "Command.exe.manifest" residing in your root CMANO folder.

* Assuming you are running Windows 10, can you ensure that the latest big update (the so-called "Creators Update") has been applied.
(Here's instructions on how to get it if it hasn't already been provided through the Windows Update mechanism: http://www.windowscentral.com/how-get-w ... ors-update . After installing, your OS version should be "1703")

Please let us know how it goes after checking these.

[Sniper31]

I do in fact have the Command.exe.manifest file in my CMANO folder.

And yes, I am running Windows 10 (my apologies for not saying that up front). As to the new Windows 10 Creators Update, it is NOT yet installed on either of my systems yet. So, doing that now and then I will let you all now if that worked...fingers crossed

[Sniper31]

UPDATE...so I just finished installing the Windows 10 Creators Update on both my laptop and my desktop. No joy I am afraid. That did not change or affect the display issues I have been experiencing. I even tried deleting my Command.ini file after the Creators update installed. I was hopeful that would fix it, but no luck.

I'm out of ideas. If anyone reading this thread has any suggestions, by all means go ahead.

Thank you for your efforts Sunburn, I do appreciate them.

And yes, if anyone else has any ideas, I am open for suggestions [:)]
