Toyguy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Wondering if anyone has seen this behavior with the new 4.023... Installed fresh after removing the old one. Game launches correctly and the Main Menu appears, albeit in a very low resolution. The problem is I have no ability to use the menu. There's no mouse pointer and the usual keyboard suspects, like Tab and the arrow keys, do nothing either. All I can do is kill the window from the task bar. Thanks!

CalAB Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Salute Toyguy Are you using a screen resolution higher than 1920 x 1080? If so there is a post regarding this subject. It’s recommended that you don’t use UHD currently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyguy Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 I am on a 4K monitor, but the resolution the game is running at appears much lower than that. The menu screen is quite blocky with very large font sizes - nothing like it used to look on 4.019. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You might try starting SB in safe mode via the shortcut that's in the Start Menu -> E -> eSim Games -> Troubleshooting, that'll reset SB to run in windowed mode where you can pick a better resolution and go back to full screen if you like. As far as the over-sized fonts go, the only way to work around that I've seen is to set the display scaling at 100%, done by right clicking on the desktop and selecting Display settings. There's a drop down box below Scale and Layout that lets you pick the percentage fonts and everything else are scaled by. Setting it to 100% will fix the fonts in SB, but then you may need a microscope to read your regular desktop, depending on the screen size and your eyesight, so you'll probably want to set it back to whatever it was before when you're done with SB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 6, 2018 Members Share Posted January 6, 2018 Another workaround is to hit Alt+W to force Steel Beasts into windowed mode. If the mouse pointer is still invisible or off, move it to the edge so it will appear on the Windows desktop, then resize the Steel Beasts window and see if that fixes it. If so, go back to the Main Menu, Options, Display, click on Windowed to toggle it to fullscreen, and see if things still work. If not, at least you know it works in windowed mode. If that doesn't help at all, it may be time to experiment with the font scaling. Maybe 125% font size (a Windows setting) will help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyguy Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks guys - got it working using those tips. The text in-game is now a little small but I can live with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
