Text in Minetest is placed wrong ...

[u19318]

Hi,
my Problem is, that if i start minetest and want to klick on a server to join, i always need to click the server under it, but this happens with every button, so im klicking on a button and it does not react, it only reacts if i klick a bit under the button ... and also the text is looking very strange ... as if you wrote something and wrote the same over it ... and ingame i have the problem, that i dont see half of the chat and also the lower part of the HUD is cut off

I need help ... i reinstalled minetest over 15 times ... i tried the 0.4.16, the 0.4.15, the 0.4.13 ... always the same problem ... but i have this problem only with minetest

sorry for bad grammar

The same things are happening to me.
(I tried reinstalling, using old versions and resetting my settings but nothing worked.

Whereas you described the problem very clearly, could you please also provide your OS + version and input method (mouse, touchpad, pen-pointer-thingy) ?

[u19318]

My OS is Windows 10 and i'm playing with mouse and keybord. I don't know how to describe the problem better.

Same.

[u19318]

I dont really know what to do ...

Would you be able to show a screenshot? You can upload one to the forums

Yeah my game looks the same as kingoscargames'.

[u19318]

I thought maybe its a bug that comes with Windows 10?

I believe it started happening to me after i updated windows 10.

[u19318]

I believe the same happened to me too.

Have you tried playing full screen (no window border frame)?
these are what I use in the config file for no border:
fullscreen = true
screen_H =709
screen_W = 1260

Can you still autohide the taskbar in Windows?
maybe see if that helps

[u19318]

Thank you Napiophelios! That helped!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! :D

[Napiophelios]

Cool.

Might also check that your taskbar isn't set to always be on top
It used to be under taskbar properties, IDK about Win10 tho.

[u19318]

Well, its working now, so I better not change anything. :)

[kingoscargames]

I dont think this is normal:

[u19318]

Simply adjust the screen_H and screen_W to your resolution. For me its: screen_H 900 and screen_W 1600.

It worked but the text is smaller than it was before.:(

[u19318]

Hm ... for me everything is working, except of, when i outtab, minetest gives me a irrlicht error message: switch to fullscreen the grahpics mode is not supported.

[Napiophelios]

EDIT: I think your aspect ratios are what's messing you guys up.
The default window size is 1024x600.

you need to adjust your config to reflect this,
if you go "max window" size it's gonna be outta wack
and that's probably the issue.

@kingoscargames try this:
I adjusted the height so it doesn't cover the taskbar just in case.
you will probably have to tweak it depending on window frame size.

The problem is, in general, that the official Minetest builds are not (correctly) manifested. The MinGW builds cant be manifested, and the x32 MSVC build was build with a old Visual Studio Version that did probably not know how to handle manifests.
Without that manifest, Minetest simply does not support HIGH DPI Monitors.

But there is a simple solution:

...
It seems the official builds of Minetest are not correctly Manifested ( they should )

Apart from the missing Manifest, there is a simple solution: right click the minetest.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Check "Overwrite high DPI behavior" -> Select "Application" *

This works for me:

Code: Select all

fullscreen = true
screenW = 1280
screenH = 680

(I wish i didnt have to go fullscreen to make it work though. :( )

This works but the screen is really small now :/
EDIT: I fixed this but now the buttons and text are small
