Title: messages while game is loading
Post by: texasmom 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?

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.

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..

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.
