Noob questions
« on: May 06, 2013, 12:44:08 PM »
So, my laptop screen resolution is just 1366x768 pixels.  Reduced the screen height already, but I noticed some options disappearing like the officer window from the teams tab ???.  Anywhere to find it????? :'(

P. S.  Any tips for my first game would be appreciated :-X

If you have windows appearing offscreen, did you try the Reset Window positions menu option?

Have you tried some of the solutions here?

As for tips for a new player, I´d suggest going through TheDeadlyShoes´s walkthrough for 6.21 there:

Any specific problem you encounter, just ask here, in the Academy. The community is not very large, but _very_ helpful.

I can see everything well with reduced window heights but the open officers option disappears in from the menu.  hxxp: aurorawiki. pentarch. org/images/5/56/Open_officers_window. jpg

Where does it go?

Ah, I misread your initial question then.

As Erik suggested, try the "reset windows" option (Misc tab) from the main menue (Steve has, afaik, a 3-screen-setup and aurora saves where you put a window, so if steve moves a window on to a second/third screen, but you don´t _have_ a second/third screen, that screen will never appear on your screen)

Important: For this to work, the window in question can´t be opened already, so start aurora and hit the "reset screens" as your first action.


Edit: If this does not work, does the officers window show, if you try to open it via the main menue or the button on the system screen (F3)?
