Microsoft Surface

Sorry if this has been asked, but how does the game play on the Surface?

Fjohürs Lykkewe · 10-17-2015, 04:23 PM

Seconded

I own a Surface Pro 3, are you interested?

KJDelaney · 10-17-2015, 06:57 PM

In buying a surface yes

I have the game already on Mac

OOTP worked great on Surface Pro 3; I'm sure the same can be said for FHM

KJDelaney · 10-17-2015, 10:41 PM

Great, thank you.

The only thing is that in tablet mode you can't drag and drop players on the lines screen. Hockey13Playa, can you do that in OOTP?

I'm using the original Surface Pro and it runs fine. I am playing in historical mode though so there aren't as many leagues running.

Ya to be honest i'm very dissapointed. Just bought this game and am enjoying it but.....
I have a convertible laptop and in tablet mode the game is pretty much a no go. You can't do anything that requires drag and drop, which is a lot such as line up changes among other things. What is really dissapointing is in OOTP you can. I'm hoping the devs look into implementing drag and drop capabilities because this game is really a good time killer for many situations that pulling out a laptop isn't really a good option.

I use Surface Pro 3 with the keyboard cover and a bluetooth mouse. FHM2 works perfectly. The screen's high resolution makes the text quite small but acceptable in my opinion

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 4. I tried the demo of the game and the font was so small, I could not read it. Any ideas on how to make it better.

FHM 2 has no demo. Do you mean OOTP?

KJDelaney · 04-25-2016, 09:45 PM

On surface pro 3, print was too small.

Went back to my 27' iMac

On my SP4 I got OOTP to a point where I could play the game, but the workaround screwed up my Windows desktop and everything else I used because of the kludges I put in place re: resolution and sizing.

I'm guessing that FHM will have the same issues. Since I use my SP4 for basically all of my computing, mobile or otherwise, I have had to hold off buying OOTP17 and FHM2 (and, later, FHM3) until something gets figured out.

OOTP contains text scaling which makes it work perfectly fine on the SP4. The same cannot be said for FHM which currently contains no scaling meaning that the text is indeed extremely small on any screen.
