A few visual bugs
« on: April 08, 2021, 06:15:09 PM »

Encountered a few issues:
1) The text for a survey contract repeats on the intel screen (The following resources are...)
2) The quote reference text, displayed with the skills, is inconsistently positioned.
3) Playing at 2560x1440 and the text and other GUI elements don't look very sharp. I've not noticed this before.
4) Some of the text is very dark/faded and difficult to read at a glance.

Thank you! Just fixed up #1.

#2 - not seeing this; maybe just not noticing what you mean?

#3: you're running with UI scaling, right? #3 is to be expected if that's the case and the UI scaling amount isn't 200%. Unfortunately the game doesn't support 720p so 1440p can't quite get to 200%...

Re #4, is there something specific you had in mind? It could be related to UI scaling (in which case the text needs brightening up in that specific case, or it could be a more general UI issue like some text being too dark regardless of scaling, so it'd help to know exactly what sort of thing you mean here.

I've crudely outlined the differences in the skill quote text positioning in the image below. I'll add some screenshots where the text is quite dark.

I've pointed out some of the harder to read text below in yellow.

Regarding the UI scaling, I didn't realize that it was even a thing. I've set it to 100% and it looks far better now. It was at 130%.

You have way too much time on your hands my friend! I don't see any issues here unless I'm blind.. Are we being a bit picky and trying to find bugs for the sake of finding?

Don't worry about it. If Alex doesn't think they are valid, then he will spend his time elsewhere.

(Please don't post extraneous stuff in the bug reports forum! Per the sticky, it's important to keep this section of the forum streamlined.)

I appreciate the reports! Have some notes about a couple of these. And, regardless, I'd much rather stuff be pointed out than not. Thank you for taking the time!
