Thread: Advisor box/text cut off

  1. #1

    Default Advisor box/text cut off

    On the campaign map, I have noticed that much of the advisor text is cut off. Practically every settlement I click on and I have restarted multiple times.

    Any idea what this could be from?

    Here is a link to a screenshot: https://ibb.co/YLwwHNH

    Looks like the box is missing a scroll function.

    I am not familiar with R2 so I wouldn't know which file governs the UI layout. Any chance that you may have a custom dpi setting? It's in the system settings, display, scale and lay out

    No I have no custom DPI setting. In fact I've never changed or fiddled with something like that.

    The box seems to change in size to incorporate advisor information from the base game (the spoken advice) but there is no option to scroll or view the advise from the DEI mod. It remains cut off.

    I am suspecting some unintentional change of value in some UI related file.

    could be the text is too long, goes beyond a cap and the UI code goes wild
    for what I remember DeI didn't change the advisor UI code, it's just inserting stuff via lua and locs
    I doubt it's an issue on your end

    Ah, so it's just an unavoidable part of DEI?

    It seems to happen when I click on a settlement such as Pellas or Athens. Whilst the dialogue box adjusts in size and shape for the base game spoken advice, for the DEI content the box does strange things. Sometimes it goes really short and cuts off all the text. But most of the time it just cuts off what I'm guessing is about half of it.

    Now it sometimes appears as only a floating head: https://ibb.co/tskdcq9

    As Jake said: it's not your end. Some editing for the mod somehow will be affecting this.
