Try switching to full screen mode and then right back to windowed mode, I didn't get my window resolution adjustments to stick until I did that.

Two questions. 1) have you tried windowed mode vs. full screen? 2) Is this a mac or a pc?

In beta endgame and injurylog had this issue, while the rest of us or majority of us did not. It was logged as a cosmetic issue and in discussing what was causing it I believe we narrowed it down to those two items.

I've got a 23 inch monitor...when I'm in windowed mode, the game only fills about a 1/3 of my screen. I find it hard to believe its my graphics card, considering I run far more graphically intense applications without a problem.

I'll keep playing around with settings to see if the problem is my end.

ok, hopefully you can get it to work. Check your PM's please

Make sure that when you change the setting you exit and restart. I play on a 22 inch monitor at 1920x1080 windowed and it fills my screen ok. Other than that I don't know what would cause it.

lol, yeah I just read that in another thread.

I changed it to maximize under the windowed, restarted and now everything is hunky dory.

Setting up my new MBL league and so far all is cool. Game looks wonderful, no issues yet (bravo testers!). So far I'm focused on the "Dynamically Evolving League" options (you know, the NEW stuff!) lol

Great work guys.

I tried to see if I had Chase Davis' full screen issue and when I went back to windowed mode, it looks like it is fixed.

Thanks folks.

RandyTiger · 04-12-2010, 09:41 AM

Simply put, I'm blown away.

Markus and Co., you guys ROCK!

Throw in the 2010 all-in-one mod, and it's....

I think I'm in love!

It's an "old school" feature. You know, like when you had to bang on the side of the TV and futz with the antenna?

That doesn't work with kids though. Believe me my parents tried.

And it's already logged for a fix in first patch, so we should be good to go. Full screen does correct it, IIRC, but the windowed presentation will, hopefully, be addressed in the next go 'round. And it is a small issue, Markus is right.

So far looking good.

I'd disagree with the 'looking good' part. OOTP Default and Classic are too bright for me (making it hard to read Ratings numbers) and OOTP Dark is a little too dark for other text, but shows Ratings just fine. Ah well.

On a related note, Markus, where is located the background pitcher image? I have looked in all OOTP folders in program files, my documents and AppData and can't find it, is it hardcoded in the .exe?

It's in the skin.bin file. We will soon update the add-ons central with the complete file sets needed to customize skins.

Kelric · 04-12-2010, 10:19 AM

Alright, can I no longer right-click on a player and get the Trade Options and Transaction menus for them? That means every time I want to promote/demote guys I need to look at the Minor League System Report and then go to the Transaction screen move one player, then go back to the report, back again, etc., etc.... Ugh. Unless I'm completely missing something, of course.

YAY!

Impressions so far... Wow. I really like the new interface. Still learning it but it seems alot smoother to get where you need to go. One thing I noticed may be a bug or may not. Tim Wakefield announced his retirement a couple weeks into the season. I was curious as to see if i could talk him out of it. So the same day he announced retirement i offered him a 2 year 2 mil a year contract (love seeing someone successful at old age) and he did not end up retiring... Is this a bug or did i talk him out of retirement?

Make sure you're in proper control of your team, apply via the available jobs screen, not using "Act-as". Right-clicking works as it has in the past.
