messages while game is loading
« on: April 08, 2009, 09:13:21 AM »
When you first log on to the game & the message pops (tips & whatnot) up over the loading bar, my message is always cut off on the right side.

I like the little tips ~ I've actually learned some things I didn't know about the game from those (aside from the squirrels w/cameras and whatever the raw fish thing is). 

Is there a way to expand that loading box to read the entirety of the text, or change the text size so the entire message can be read?

That box is being presented in the middle of the Aces High III window.  Make sure your game video resolution is set to match the Windows desktop resolution.  If you are running Windows 10, this is very important due to the broken DPI management in Windows 10.

I've had that problem since AH1 and I've always used the native resolution for both Windows and AH on all the screens I've been using during these 15 or so years. Starting from the 17" tube to the 21" one up to my current 30" 2560x1600. Some lines just get cut.

im with Texasmom  I like the messages nd would like to be able to read them, I also have learned a few things from them and got a few laughs but they need to stay up a touch longer or  have a thread containing the messages so we can read them  theyre cool

Busted, haha

Edit: although I've never had problems, maybe you have shed a light on something, texasmom!

For some strange reason, I think we might have crossed paths back during the PowWow days of compuserve....possibly..

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Well,...I sure did.  Sometimes I get into "freight train" mode and just plow through these things as fast as I can.  Keep calling me on it.
