Black Text In Various UI
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since I got the game I have not been sure if this is bugged out for me, or one of the worst style choices ever. The black text will variate between unreadable, and slightly readable depending on the video background that is playing behind it. Ironically, it seems to be used on text that is meant to be emphasized, making it a bit more of an issue. I will often see "Press [Black text] to continue", or titles of text that I can't read.

Additional Information

I set my gamma and brightness correctly according to the settings, and I don't think the game is unusually dark. I can see OK in night time scenarios without night-vision.

Here is a screenshot showing what I mean: http://i62.tinypic.com/9hqedi.png

Hi, you can change color of these texts in Configure > Game Options > Colors > Menu > Background. Anyway, it is more workaround than proper solution, because this will change more than just texts in Field Manual.

We will look at this issue and try to find more suitable solution. Thanks for feedback!

Oh, thank you.

I did not realize that changing the menu "background" color affected that text. The top bar background color changes immediately, but I had to restart the game for that text color to apply. I happened to have it selected on black as a choice for the top bar, and did not associate the settings change with that text as it was probably the next day I noticed.

I feel a bit silly knowing this was something I changed, but I agree there could probably be an improvement anyway. :)

We have made some changes in presets and colors. This shouldn't be an issue anymore. Marking as resolved.
