  1. I installed it, and had a very brief look in both 1280*960 and 1280*1024. Made a backup of the entire original scripts folder before though

    Overall the game loaded well, and I could actually read texts now much better! :)

    There were some probs though which would imo prohibit longer gameplay currently: in some cases, the xenopedia pics needed very long to appear once you called a certain article. In other cases they were shown immediately.

    The bigger prob however was that some menu entries were blacked out, for example when pressing esc on the Geoscape to save/load/exit etc there was no text on menu buttons. Not sure if those probs stem from the screen res I selected, since the readme said resolutions should be "equal to or less than 1366*768". Mine was less in x, but more in y direction of course (still use a monitor 4:3 format)

    That aside, for a v0.01 it's quite an achievement, and really helps a lot to read all those info.

    Thanks for the info. The game pause menu is the next area I'm going to tackle (I think I might have improperly set up the scaling on that as resolutions outside my primary testing resolution of 1366x768 seem to have problems almost universally).

    Also, while I can't see how it would effect the load times (unforeseen consequences and all) of certain pages in the xenopedia tabs if you could try and keep track of which pages seem to have the problems I'll see if I can duplicate it.

    Again, thanks for the info (it is greatly appreciated).

  2. Heh, impressive work there Strinder (I know how much of a nightmare it is to do that).

    I'll be sure to link that mod if people ask for such a thing in the future. Is it posted up on the Completed Mods page and so forth?

    Not yet as I wouldn't call it complete yet. I still have to try and track down some items and do some serious bug testing but I figured putting a beta version of it out couldn't hurt.

  3. Don't suppose you can direct me to a guide or otherwise walk me through where to go to edit those settings? Sucks that I'll have to essentially put a week in working on a game to make it playable but I've wanted a good reboot of X-com for so long I'm willing to sacrifice some time to make it happen (seriously devs, you did good from what I can manage to play without my eyes watering but this was a silly thing to stumble on).

  4. Love the game, just wish I could actually read what is going on and figure out how much money I have without pulling out a magnifying glass. Did some research but the only threads I could find regarding the small font were from over a year ago. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? It makes the game nearly unplayable, which is a shame because when I don't actually need to read something the game clicks quite well. As it stands I start giving myself headaches.
