Launcher bug under Win8

Mindstorm

When I start the launcher.exe under WIN8 and I want to create a new mod I do get the new mod windows. The OK button however is not on the screen so I cannot confirm.

Win7 works fine only win8.

Can you make a screenshot? Works perfectly fine for me...

29,99€ ($39,99) and with voucher 15€ for legal copy.. Win 8 working just fine but latest patch did broke something..

I can extend the window horizontally but not vertically.

Edit:
Win7/vista/xp sp3 compatability mode gives this:

This is technical suppot not trolwin8 forums.

You have scaled up fonts and ui elements in windows.

So for now you can fix it(if i am correct) by reducing it to 100% (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller), until uwe makes it scale properly.

Not really a windows fault... just a not too optimal designed ui for the launcher. (seems like the property window has fixed height => it cant scale and fit the ui elements anymore with the 125% and 150% settings)

Setting this to 100% indeed solved the problem. I however havn't changed it to 125% in the first place. I think it's th default setting for win8 isn't it?

Koruyo

Wasnt a default for me when i switched to win8.

So far i haven't heard that windows would choose this smartly on its own.(but its possible i guess) So for example if you have a touch capable monitor, or depending on monitor size and resolutions. (it really makes sense for ppl that dont see well or depending on hardware - also it usually shouldnt cause any problems, sadly sometimes programmer forget to let their software play nice with it...)

What I do know is, that depending on computer some companys make it a standard setting. (for example i have a touch all-in-one at work that had it as a default from the vendor)

The default was also 100% for me. Just curious @Mindstorm, what's your native monitor resolution? Maybe it'll do that if you have a huge monitor.

Mindstorm

sorry for the late reply. 1920x1080. 22". I just checked a collegue of mine (same hardware) but he did not have it set to 125%. So maybe I just changed it for whatever reason and I can't remember it.
