All text superimposed - aspect ratio bug?
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2016 3:26 am
Hi!
Please bear with me, as I'm new at this..
But I'm trying to play Privateer: Gemini Gold (powered by Vega Strike), and I'm having a few problems that I haven't seen before., It's frustrating as hell, because I LOVE this game.. everything 'works', but it's just unplayable at present because of this weird text bug I'm having.
I've played this game before on a regular PC with no problems; had all the controls tweaked by editing the vegastrike.config, so I had at least basic experience tweaking the game.
But now I'm trying to play using an Acer Aspire One netbook, and I think something to do with the screen aspect ratio is screwing up the locations of menu text and such. Any text that's displayed on screen is all in the same place, super-imposed on top of each other. When I'm at a base and viewing equipment, all text is just displayed in one blob, making it unreadable. When I'm flying in space, my speed counter and hud info all form one blob of text in the same location. I've never had this problem on any other machine, so i can only assume it's something to do with the odd aspect ratio of this display.
The native resolution of the thing is 1024x600, which i believe is a 17:10 aspect ratio. Not that I know why this is a problem, but is there any reason that this could cause all the text to bunch up like that? And if so, what do i have to edit to put it all back where it's supposed to be? :/ I've tried editing the vegastrike.config to run in that resolution, but the text is just STILL all in one place..
Any help would be hugely appreciated.. this is driving me crazy.. I just wana go and smuggle some brilliance!!
