Ingame sidebar glitch

[Precision MT]

Hi,

 

I was playing with a buddy tonight online and the ingame sidebar flickered and then disappeared after playing for about 45 minutes. I'm running 1920x1080 resolution. I really don't want to turn it back down, I like being able to see the map and have a longer build menu. Has anyone else had this happen? Any fixes you know of?

 

Thank you,

 

Phil

I don't know of any fix. You can try hitting Tab on the keyboard. This will hide the sidebar and hit Tab again to un-hide the sidebar. This may let the game reload it the right way. If that dosen't work try messing with some of the video settings in the options.

Allen,

 

Thanks for the advise, I will try this and see if it does the trick.

 

Thank you,

 

Phil

1920x1080? Can you, em, actually still distinguish your units at that resolution?

Oh right, sorry. I forgot this was RA1. People don't build anything besides Heavy Tanks anyway

My buddies can't, but I have no problem. I just glue my face to the screen.

I play TD in 1920x1080 its perfectly possible

The extra vision is insanely useful and basically negates the need to have a communications centre

Sure. It's wider than ALL game maps, though

wouldn't it crash the game if you build a comm. center?

I fixed that bug, Pichorra. In fact, having that fixed was one of my own set conditions to be met before I would implement free resolution control

(The second was the ability to correctly load savegames of different resolutions. Which I also fixed.)
