Ragchoon Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I just bought the game and got it installed yesterday. I got Flaming cliffs 3 and to my dismay found no in game training. I can't even find how to change my joystick controls. I would assume they would be in options, but only found graphic options. Is there anyone that can take me under there wing and teach me the game? Thanks!
joey45 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Go in options and up top there are Tabs. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Ragchoon Posted May 25, 2013 Author Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Hmmm I don't know if its a bug or what. But there are gray bars on the top and bottom of the screen that cover up parts of the options. Probably why I cant see the tabs. Is there anyway to fix this? Also, the instant action and exit buttons in the main menu dont work. :( Edited May 25, 2013 by Ragchoon

Ragchoon Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 Hey, I couldn't print screen because they just show up as black, so i took a picture with my phone. I also noticed that the exit button and instant action doesnt work when i click them in the main menu. Has anyone else had this problem before? I've also brought my problems to user support with a few tickets, and its been 12 days with no response. Right now it feels like I've thrown 50 dollars in the toilet. Thanks alot guys.
IonicRipper Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Seems like a faulty install, I would reinstall the game if I were you. Also its suggested to reboot your PC after installing a game. i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Ragchoon Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 I tried a clean install and I still have the same problems. Can't see tabs in the options menu, and the exit button + instant action button don't work. You guys have any other ideas?

aussieboy Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Silly question...The native resolution of your monitor is 1920x1080 and that is also what Windows is set to, correct? Not a silly question at all, that does look like a resolution issue, I'd be double checking what the monitor is set to on the desktop before doing anything else.
sslechta Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Not a silly question at all, that does look like a resolution issue, I'd be double checking what the monitor is set to on the desktop before doing anything else. Plus that screen in options you do have allows you to change the DCS resolution lower as something to try.....

aussieboy Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Yes I can confirm it's the desktop resolution is set wrong, I was able to replicate it on my system which runs at the same res 1920x1080
cichlidfan Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Hopefully, the OP has gotten it fixed (it has been a week). The reason I considered it a silly question is that there is no logical reason to 'normally' run Windows in anything other than the monitor's native resolution.

aussieboy Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 As a programmer myself I would consider this a bug, it shouldn't run in a res higher than what the desktop runs in, a simple try catch will prevent it from ever happening again.

I would agree but it would fall fairly low on the priority list so I doubt it will be fixed anytime soon.
