Font Corruption: v1.30 OPEN BETA

[leparc]

Anyoneelse get missing letters in in-game text?

Whats the cause? and Fix?

[elegance]

I get it all the time with 2 accounts. It is usually 1 account ok and one with missing letters. But not always. Sometimes both are ok until i alt tab few times, some time its both accounts. Once i got it (but only once) when running 1 account only.

Do you have any additional languages, (or keyboard layouts) installed? Is it always the same letters? (cause for me it varies)

[fearny]

I only get this when running multiple accounts, relogging alwasy clears it.

[elegance]

relogging always clears it

Not true for me.

[leparc]

Im running one account. Missing letters seems to be random.

The only fix I can think of is to make sure your video driver is up to date.

Are the letters missing entirely, or replaced by spaces or other characters?

I have been getting that on occasion since 1.29. But as somebody said - if you reboot the game it seems to clear itself up. Wonder if its a cache issue?

Sometimes the game starts up fine but there is no character to choose from and sometimes the greeting screen misses alot of letters. Again, rebooting corrects that problem

I've heard Windoows XP is not supposed to be on all the time - sould reboot it occasionally - and I rarely reboot the computer - maybe that could have some effect too.

Same.

Doesn't seem driver related (so updating graphics drivers won't fix it).

Can we have this moved to game bugs forum? Gophur is on a a roll there, maybe he will have something to add.

[caber]

Bump for Gophur.

Examples:

I've only had it in the map window and can't tell what stuff it doesn't like. But sometimes I get a player name or brigade name full of little squares.

[GOPHUR]

Ok that is weird. That is a font corruption issue no doubt about it. I could guess all day long about it but...

1.30 has an all new font engine and an all new font SO...

Please return to test this when 1.30 goes into open test in the next few weeks.

Hmm. Just out of curiosity. Are you, people who get this, running an ATI card?

[jamieg]

i have an ati card it is only when im running two accounts so seems to be the same issue.

I had an ATI, got that problem often in 1.29. Didn't get it once with NViDia since a month. Never ran 2 accounts.

[ZEBBEEE]

I have the same with ATI card in 1.29.

[juuba]

Köln and Düsseldorf are messed up..

Köln is K for short

and

Düsseldorf is just D...

I guess the chat engine coughs at ü and ö and just skips to next word

Some player names on map (when hovering the mouse over the map icon) have a weird box character, like it's missing a character... 1-3 missing characters so far I've seen.. will try to take a scr shot if I see it...

Keeping this thread for v1.30 OPEN BETA test, since we have a new font system in the new release. Post your issues here. Thanks guys. Don't forget that your monitor resolution may change when you update/reboot and driver changes can cause issues.

[elegance]

Still possible to get corrupted font when running 2 accounts. Alt tabbing between them whilst loading the game results in corrupted font almost everytime for me.

The question still is: Is this another exclusively ATI issue or do people with Nvidias get it as well?

[GOPHUR]

Good question. Can you write a step by step on how you are running two accounts and I'll test it out.
