Umenu misalligns screen (227G_23)

Post by Leo T_C_K »

Yeah it does, just like UT, when I make Unreal windowed....dunno if it's the umenu though as it appears normally too, that black line, it just misalligns the resoultion.

Try running Unreal in the "no visual themes" compatibility mode and see if it works. There is a similar windowing issue in UnrealEd 3, which can be cured by that.

This is mostly Aero's fault, but partially due to the fact that Unreal is ancient and doesn't account for this since aero wasnt even conceptually designed in 1998.

edit: 528px × 422px resolution

not sure if that's just the crop or what, but try using setres 800x600 and see if that helps.

Now you don't take Aero into account, too :) That's the size of the whole window + frame, so the actual dimensions that Unreal is set to would be lower.

It doesn't happen in Unreal Gold. And setting resolution doesn't seem to help. Not even the no visual themes...

It is annoying because when I click with mouse or highlight some menu item, it highlights the one above usually. Totally off, and yes same happens in UT for me.

Didn't notice that problem myself yet. I take it you are using Win7?
Need to re-try it there again then. Usually using XP only for development.

I am using Vista, with all the service packs though and some fixes I did myself.

I use WinXP and Win7, and on neither OS do I have this problem...so I don't think it's OS related.

Perhaps graphic related?  My Graphics card is GeForce 8800 GTX.  I use OpenGL on both Unreal and UT

Win7's GUI probably has a lot of bug fixes, maybe this one only occurs in vista. However I don't know anyone with vista that can test this..

The Vista crap came with this laptop. Besides win7 is not THAT worse after Vista was updated, in fact it contains lots of crap and incompatibilites like Vista, all in all the directmusic is messed up at win7 too.
It caused Unreal2 to go behave like crap at times and it doesn't loop the flyby if you don't fix it yourself.
