Title: A weird problem.
Post by: Nulldog on December 24, 2014, 11:29:06 AM
I hope this is the correct place to post this.   

Re-posting from the subreddit:I had downloaded this game a while back with the intention of getting into it, but never found the time to do so; unfortunately, now that I have the time, I've run into an odd problem that I was hoping someone might be able to help me with:

The text issue that you see on the right also appears in the new game creation screen, as well as the in-game menus.    I'm not sure if it's game breaking, but I've run into a few options where I have no idea what it does because hovering over it doesn't give a popup explaining what it is and, y'know, I can't read the option itself due to the distorted text.    I've reinstalled the game a dozen times, followed the instructions, upgraded from 5+ to 6, used the full installations provided in the info bar of the subreddit, used the portable installations, etc.    Nothing I do seems to fix it.    The UI is already pretty tough to wrestle without some parts being illegible.   

My resolution is 1680, 1050; DPI is the default 96/100% My OS is Windows Vista, and although I am upgrading soon, when I first installed the game however long ago, this wasn't an issue, so I don't think the OS is the culprit.    Also, version 5.   54~ doesn't have the text issue.    Seems to only happen in version 6+ of the game.    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

try to reinstall, if that doesn't fix it try changing your screen resolution. Plus this belongs in the Bugs page.
