North Africa - Issues & Fixes thread

[Barbarrossa.]

Hi All,

I'll post issues & fixes that have been reported into this thread for future reference.


The first is the link for the Designer Notes on the North Africa Product Page was broken. That has now been corrected. The direct link to the file is here; Designer Notes


The second issue we had anticipated. A few people are seeing screen corruption with the new selection screen. Something like this;



This has been an issue with high resolution screen with high DPI (dots per inch), particularly when changing resolutions. We have had reports of this on Microsoft Surface as well as some Window's 7 machines.
We spent a lot of time trying to correct this. We have a number of different screens and machines to test against and found this was limited to a few situations. After a lot of review and commentary from other developers, we believe this irregular issue is a Microsoft challenge. We at one point debated removing the new selection screens, but instead opted to include the ability to load the legacy screen. There is a shortcut in the game folder called bona41 - Legacy Selection Screen Please use that if you are seeing this issue.


Thanks,

David

I have had this problem Every thing worked except that nothing could get started because the side bar was not functioning. None of the remedies were of any use. Then after reading Strela,s post I tried changing my screen resolution from High to Lower. The game now runs from after an imperfect starting platform,  the side bar functions and after that everything works ok.
Hope this helps because there is an issue here which needs correcting.
