Broken interface in russian localization.

[Gamshud]

This problem has been around for quite a while (since the release of "Legacy of Persia") when the interface in the russian localization slides down, and I don't know the reasons for this behavior. Screenshots taken on the same version, without mods, at 100% interface scale.

The first screenshots, on them I'm conducting the "drive away the herd" machinations and for some reason on one of the targets the stop button gets under the scroll (which obviously shouldn't be), and on the other everything is fine.

The second pair of screenshots from the character selection menu. On them you can see the choice of landless characters, and for some reason they are all shifted to the right, so much so that you can't see how many followers several characters have.
(The second screenshot was taken at the beginning of this year when I already wrote about this problem but was safely ignored).

So, gentlemen from Paradox, tell me, am I cursed and the troubles with such an interface are only and exclusively mine, or maybe this is a problem with the game that needs to be solved?

I have no idea whether this is just happening to you, or to all players using Russian, I am sorry! I don't track bug reports at all.

Have you tested whether it happens in other languages on this PC too?

Can you test it on any other PC you might have access to?



DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.

From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log

Yes, I checked this problem in other languages, I tested in English and launched the game in Spanish (which I do not speak at all), I did not notice such problems in any of these localizations, although I played on them for less time.
Unfortunately, I cannot check the presence of this problem on other devices.

I was expecting to see quite a low screen resolution, but you are at a normal 1920x1080 - you shouldn't get issues like this at that size so I guess this must be a bug.

Have you tried increasing the resolution? And/or in windowed mode?

Yes, I just tried lowering the resolution and switching to windowed mode, none of this solved the problem. I even tried different interface scaling, but none of this helps.

I also became really curious and watched a video where people choose a landless character with russian localization, and everyone has this problem. And now I'm 99.9% sure that this is a problem in the game code and not in the settings or components of a specific PC.

So, can I count on someone competent to deal with this problem in the near future? (I ask because about a year ago, technical support told me that they passed the information to specialists and everything is already being resolved, but patches are released, and the problem remains)

I already wrote in the bug report category, but my topic is ignored there.

And it hasn't been in the "known issues" for a long time... How many more topics do I need to create for this problem to be noticed in a year and, more importantly, solved?

 

[AndrewT]

All posts in Bug Reports are read, even if they are not responded to.

But I can't explain why it has not yet been fixed I am sorry, I have no connection to the dev teams at all!

I believe you that all threads are read, however, there is little point in this if in almost a year, since the thread was created, only one problem from the described error was fixed (and only because in some update they changed this window for all localizations). From which we can conclude that either everyone in the Paradox company absolutely does not care about such trifles as broken parts of the game, or no one knows about it, but since I take your word for it, I am left with only the first option.

In any case, thanks for the answers, this seems to be the second time that at least someone from Paradox decided to answer me on this forum, so even though it did not change anything, I will go and celebrate this rare occurrence.
Have a nice day.

Rare? I respond to every single thread in this forum without exception, 7 days a week, unless I'm on leave.

I mostly wrote in bug reports and general topics, and I got an answer there once. I think it's my first time writing to the technical support section. And I noticed that there really are answers here, it's hard work and I appreciate it.

The only problem is that, as you stated earlier, you have no connections with the development team, so you can't fix the bug, and those who could do it don't answer.

What a paradox.

This should be definitely happening to all Russian players on 1920x1080 resolution. Reason is very obvious - text length. You can see the same problems on my screenshots (ignore extra info, I launched game in developer mode to test interface changes).

The first screenshots, on them I'm conducting the "drive away the herd" machinations and for some reason on one of the targets the stop button gets under the scroll (which obviously shouldn't be), and on the other everything is fine.

Compare:

Угнать стадо персонажа персонажа Вождь Аругтай​

Угнать стадо персонажа персонажа Вождь Хоца​

FIrst one is shorter, so the button is not pushed under the scrollbar. By the way, the word "персонажа" appears twice here, it is wrong. Should be like this:

Угнать стадо персонажа Вождь Аругтай​

The second pair of screenshots from the character selection menu. On them you can see the choice of landless characters, and for some reason they are all shifted to the right

"Фильтр безземельных форм правления" is too long to fit correctly in this window, window is expanded to the right to accommodate, and every child element is repositioned automatically. It can be changed to "Фильтр форм правления" because the word "безземельных" is not important in the context of this window.

Thanks for clarifying, I didn't even pay attention to the duplicated words of the "персонажа", and indeed judging from your screenshots, it is easy to fix these problems. It's just that this is only the part that is visible now, at the end of the year we are expecting a paid update, which Paradoxes calls DLC, and I'm afraid that if the interface can't handle an extra word in the text now, then the problem is a little more fundamental than just a few extra words that accidentally appeared in the wrong places. I won't pretend to be an expert in interfaces, but shouldn't the text in such cases be shifted down and not off the screen?
