Title: Chat window (minimized) gone (moved away?)
Post by: ccvi on October 11, 2016, 03:07:41 PM

With the patch minutes ago the minimized chat window is gone. Maximized it is where it was before, but minimized - gone. Others reported it moved up from its prior position.
For me it probably moved up so far that its off screen now?
(trying to find a cfg-file to mess with it manually...)

edit: found it in filters.cfg, issue resolved (for me, at least)

I have to move the chat window back to its place everytime I enter an arena.

DX9 version.  Chat window nonexistant.  If I hit the ~ key, it brings it up expanded like it should.

I also discovered if I follow these steps, it brings the regular window back, but once it's back, if I relog, it does not stay.

-Start AH3.
-Hit ~ button to bring up expanded chat.
-Click and drag a corner to resize the chat window.  WHILE STILL HOLDING THE MOUSE, hit ~ again.
-Now the "normal" window is the same size and location as the "expanded" window.
-Resize and move the "normal" window where I want it.

The settings will hold until I log out.

please attach the filter.cfg file from your settings folder after you have moved the chat window to where you want it.

I assume you are speaking of the window that can get bigger or smaller, and not the window you type into.

Correct.  The one that shows what is being said on the channels.  Will do when I get home.

Attached is zipped filters.cfg files from my 3 computers with text box issue.

Started offline game 1st and the text box was normal.

When I started online game the text box moved and after that offline text box was stuck like online.

Edit: The current sawblade online melee map had to download before online ran.
