MissVicky Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 When I start up the game, I can do everything just fine until I set what I want to do for the day. Then the menu goes to the very right of the screen and I can only see half of it. What can I do to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 MissVicky; This is an issue with your DPI settings- you probably have yours set at 125%. What you will need to do is go into your settings and restore it back to the default (100%). After that, you should be able to play with no further issues. Let me know if that helps, and thanks!

ananas Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 can we use that too to increase the size of it? cause on a 1080p screen, it only takes up like the inner half of it, would be nice to have it bigger, even if it was just scaling (sorry if this counts as thread hijack, thought it would be relevant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ananas; Unfortunately, no- Year 1 UI does not scale. It's a problem we recognize, but it will only be corrected in Year 2. You can scale most text, though, by using +/- on your keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissVicky Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 What is DPI and how do I change it? I'm not very good with computer settings XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 MissV; No problem- assuming that you have Windows 7, it's pretty easy. 1) Right-Click on your Desktop, and choose: 'Personalize'. 2) In the bottom left hand corner of the new window, choose 'Display'. 3) On the Display window, choose 'Smaller - 100% (default)' and then the Apply button. ...now, you should be able to play with everything in it's right place. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middy Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hello... sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I'm having the same problem as the original poster, but on XP. Can you instruct me on how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 You have at last a Screen Resulotion of 1024x800? If it is smaller (i.e. if you use a Netbook) your out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Middy; The way to solve the problem is similar on XP (you will need to look at your desktop settings). Here is how Microsoft suggests to do it: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/display_use_large_or_small_fonts.mspx?mfr=true Have fun in the game, and let me know if that solves the issue!

Middy Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yes, I do use a netbook unfortunately. 1084x600. Changing the DPI couldn't cram the last 200 pixels in either... Oh well, the game IS playable; I can just barely reach the confirm button at the bottom of the calendar screen, but my Attributes list cuts off at Stress so I'll never know what's there. I guess that's okay. I hope that users of all kinds of computers are taken into consideration in the future games, though, because I'd love to keep playing.

Legate of Mineta Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Middy; A revamp of the UI is ongoing for Year 2; so never fear we will scale it to all sizes. I cannot say yet however if we will be able to retroactively change the Year 1 UI, however. Thanks for giving us a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Legate, because of people like Middy I suggested some time ago to put the min. Screenresolution to the requirement at the shoping pages. (At last at Impulse and at the academagia homepage it wasn't mentioned when I looked yesterday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Yeah, it hasn't been updated yet, but we need to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middy Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 You guys have some great support here. I'll definitely be waiting eagerly for the second installment even despite the difficulties I'm having in this one. Thanks for your helpful and informative replies.

Nyaa Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Oh well, the game IS playable; I can just barely reach the confirm button at the bottom of the calendar screen, but my Attributes list cuts off at Stress so I'll never know what's there. The surrounding is actually just empty space, but the thing you miss after stress is Vitality, Encumbrance, and Concealment. The last two won't be a problem if you keep check of what you are carrying; the vitality however, will be more important that stress, but you should be able to see that if you can click the top tip of the confirm button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
