Need Help Please

Sawblade300 · 04-02-2017, 09:00 PM

I've given up on trying to get the screen smaller. Every setting I use doesn't change anything. It still takes the full screen and I can't do anything else on the computer.

My new question is, I've finally got to my first preseason game and when I hit "play game", I get a message saying too many foreign players on active roster. What? The roster is the roster. I didn't create it. It's the roster I inherited when I started the game. How do I fix this?

No one can help? I'd really like to play this game, but if I can't even start a game.

I finally see on the active roster screen that at the bottom it tells me how many are dressed and how many foreigners. That says 15/14. I'm assuming this means I should only have 14 but have 15. How do I deactivate that one player? I've tried scratching players, but that doesn't seem to work.

Try to right click on the players name, and then assign him to your farm team,buy him out, release hi or waive him. I think all foreign players have a "(F)" beside their name. Hope this helps.

Thank you. That worked. Any thoughts on how to make the screen smaller so I can still do other things on the computer while I have the game open?

You have to restart the game the whole game for your changes to take place. Were doing that?

Yes. Several times with almost all the settings.

What is your OS ? What is the size of your monitor ?

I have an issue on Windows 10 in Full Screen where the bottom of the screen gets hidden by my Task Bar, so for example in the Trade Window I can't see the last 2 players on my roster.

Is that what you're talking about ?
Or are you saying other programs won't run at the same time ? Because then that would be different altogether.

I'm on WIndows 10 as well, but the game takes the whole screen. I can't see the task bar. So I can't navigate to anything else on the computer. All I can do it play the game. It's not that anything else is disabled, I just can't get to it with the game open.

Here's what I posted in another thread. It shows what my screen looks like with the game open. No task bar to be found.

This is my entire computer screen. Can't see tabs. Can't get to desktop. Nothing, just the game.

That's odd because I have the opposite issue. The game screen "hides" behind the task bar and the bottom inch or so is not accessible. It's not a big deal for anything for me so far, aside from the trading window.

You should be able to "alt tab" out of the game and go back to your desktop. Hold the Alt key and then hit the Tab key, this should minimize the game and bring you back to your desktop.

That works. Good enough I guess. At least now I can do something else while playing. ADD is a terrible thing. lol.

Thanks eldur
