Text bug..

[Major .:Noob:.]

Hi guys..

1.4 bug for me - All my text has a little box next to it. All the menus, the text that people say, the f1 menu, everything. It's annoying as hell...

They look sort of like illegal character boxes... Might have something to do with me using windows 98, but I hope not. That would suck.

Thanks for any help,

-Major

Windows 98 doesn't support unicode unless you have microsofts unicode support layer installed; try running in compatability mode.

[Major .:Noob:.]

Thanks Chris, compatibility mode works, but the kill board is too small to read now. I'll try and get the unicode support layer then, soon.

I get it with XP..
I tried video compatability, but it still looks kind of weird, but doesn't have those weird boxes.
How do I get the old 1.3.1 text back?

[Major .:Noob:.]

Yup, that's exactly what I get...

I don't want to use video compatibility, because I can't read what people say if they write enough to make the text smaller... Which is very annoying.

I hate the new text. The old one was better and smoother-looking.

[Major .:Noob:.]

Not only is it too small, but I also discovered that you can't use the new minimap with video compatibility...

Heres a screen of another Soldat players text

[Major .:Noob:.]

Yeah, I can't figure out how to install that unicode thing...

I really want this fixed, it's annoying as hell and the video compatibility thing really isn't a good long term fix, because it disables a whole bunch of cool features, plus you can't read half the text anymore.

If anyone could please get on this ASAP, thanks... I really appreciate it. I'm going to bed >_<

We spent a god-awful amount of time testing Soldat.

We can't test every scenario imaginable, and I won't tolerate this kind of speech in Need Help? Report Bugs!.

Consider this an unofficial warning.

No one had a problem with not being able to join servers. How you extract the file should have no bearing on the outcome.

[Major .:Noob:.]

So, if we could go back on topic please...

Is there any way to get unicode working on earlier versions of windows, besides video compatibility mode?

[chrisgbk]

Video compatability mode doesn't let you use unicode; it reverts to not using unicode.

Microsoft has a unicode compatability layer for Win98/ME, but offhand I do not know how to use it or if it actually solves any problems if you have it.
