Letters gotten bigger, but the text-lenght is shorter, so if you write a somewhat longer message it easily takes up to 3 lines, thus making everything currently on-screen disapear. Ergo, this s*cks !! :ranting2:

Yeah, I don't really like the new text system.
( As complained about before. ^^ )

The text is fine on my display (1920x1200).
The voice comms were worse than the old codec last night though :angry:

:ranting2: You should view the new text messaging box on my 800x600 screen. I have to type my messages quickly because I can't see anything else!

Does the game scale the fonts somehow? I run the game in 1280x1024 and the fonts actually looks a wee bit slimmer than before (?) They might take up a wee bit more space but are generally thinner... overall on my screen it is an improvement as far as game transparency goes

voicecomms are better imho (although I haven't heard Whitey's accent yet :-) hope to tonight...)

It's actually really weird, because some people's VCs seem to have gotten clearer, while other's (sadly the larger half) have clearly gotten a lot worse, being often completely not-understandable(that a word?).

That reminds me of the days before auto pouring of beer in pubs when you'd drink your beer down to an eighth of a pint and say to the barman 'I'll just have a half in there please' Usually, you'd get a larger half. :norty: Those were the days. :sad:
 
Not-understandable? Both are words but the grammar is dreadful. I'd use 'unintelligible'
 
Back to coms. Wonder of wonders, I was on CS:S last night with Bastet (Goodnight Bastet)and D.A.N. (Goodnight Dan) and the coms don't seem to have improved much.

Aye, was good playing with you again doorman, but i am afraid i cant understand anything said on the comms since the last update. Allthough, ppl that have a higher pitch of voice seam to be at least understandable.
 
Like dan, he has a girly voice thats actualy not hard to make out :narnar:

True, most of the time dan is the only person that seems to be emitting more than just weird noises.
Steam seems to be recommending logitech mics these days, I wonder why. . . :g:

Dan doesn't actually have a voice that high in RL ^^. Anyway, I kinda like the new chat box at my res (1024/860, or thereabouts) looks really neat. But the voice comms are rubbish... except for, as ye said, high-pitched people like Dan ^^.

Oh yeah? He's got one heck of a high voice. If you compare it to mine or anyone else's.

(( yeah, yeah, yeah, I see it, cheap and nasty. :devil:  ))
