Subtitles issue !

[sushi]

Hello Duncan and Ouch and all,

Maybe you have an answer to this strange thing that occures in the game...


After a while, let say about 1 to 3 HW days, all the subtitles no longer appear when browsing the menus !!!

Here is a print screen to illustrate what I mean.



I hadn't really took care about that before, but now, translating all this, I realise that all those precious subtitles, especially for beginners, are missing... And in fact, I remember having experienced the same before.

I thought it was a translation address error or a doubbled address, but with the original English UIM06 Hardwarw.exe with absolutely no patching, this issue comes back...

Maybe my game resolution (1280x800) ?

Any idea ?

[duncan]

I wouldn't know what caused it.

Does it also happen in the original (non UIM6), maybe it is a UIM6 thing?

If you save the game and start it again are the subtitles then back?

Do you have max or smurph enhanced patches installed?

[sushi]

Just UIM06 installed no enhancements at all neither smurph nor max...

Saving and restarting does fixes nothing !

I've just reinstalled the complete game + Uim06 after a Ccleaner cleaning session to leave nothing.
Unfortunately, once again I haven't stored my save games...
I'm waiting for the issue to come back on this brand new install and I tell you.
For the moment, the subtitles are ok even on the translated game... I'll probably see this occur soon.

I don't remember the subtitles being there...

Did it only occur in God Hangar?

[sushi]

It occurs everywhere on UIM06 not patched not enhanced.


I begin a new world as aggressor in live and tell you what happens :

- I immediately move to Gamma trading post... I brows the menu, no subtitles... and... After 2 seconds moving the mouse pointer on the menu buttons all the subtitles are back. They do not appear immediately.
- I teleport to god Hangar, all the subtitles are ok
- I teleport back to gamma trading... All the subtitles ok
- Launch the moth, move to flyers retrait... Subtitles come after 2 secondes.
- Go back to god, subtitles ok...
- Teleport to Police HQ... all ok
- Long run to prison mine... subtitles come back after 2 seconds moving the mouse on the buttons...
- Teleport to god... subtitles ok
- launch moth to breaker maker 1... subtitles come back after 2 secondes.
- I move to the Alien then to Downtown Estates... Subtitles after 2 secondes.
- Save my game... Exit...
- Restart... Back to the Estates agence... All subs ok but not enough cash...
- Move to god... all subs ok... Blag 100000
- Teleport back to Estate... all subs ok... buy 008
- Launch... fight some pirates...
- Back to the Estates... all subs ok
- Launch to Vacant 008... Nothing... Then subtitles come back after 2 secondes
- Save game and exit...

- Restart game... fight... some jumps into god, all subs ok.
- Move to the Mass driver... fight...
- Back to god... NO MORE subtitles.... Moving the mouse again and again... Nothing !

- Move back to home 008... No more subs...
- Move to trade central... Nothing !

Day 3 16:38:36 no more subtitles. In the all hangars...


So I decide to substitute the English UIM06 HardwarW.exe with the French one.

- Everything is in french... The translation works fine... But, no more subtitles !!!

So subtitles officially RIP ! I save and exit...


I decide to unable the mouse emulation softwar in the launcher...

- Lol, the mouse still works fine in game , I don't know what this option is for... Anyway, the subtitles are still dead...


I decide to substitute back the French HardwarW.exe by the English one.

- Nothing...

It is strange that the subtitles sometime appear immediately and sometime take 1 second or 2 to be displayed when moving the mouse pointer on the menu buttons. And finally they totally disappear. What a pity, I like those subtitles... and they certainly are useful for beginners


Any idea ? Is someone experiencing the loss of the subtitles too ? I read that you haven't them Riedquat ! So I'm not alone... Are they present when you begin a new world ?

[sushi]

I've just began a new world, with the French HardwarW.exe, all the subtitles are ok so it doesn't come from the translation.

When I begin a new game the subtitles are ok for a moment but soon disappear... Why ?

EDIT : Something new guys !
The new game I've just began and that is further than day 3 has still all the subtitles working, I precise that I've been lot less to the hangars in this game much more running around Titan...
Anyway even if the subtitles work for this save game, if I launch the older save game (Rip on my upper post), still no subtitles.

I suppose that means the save stores the error and the error can probably be avoided ...
Some sub folder must be implemented to display or not display the subtitles so the save game recall or not this statement...

Still no idea ?


Edit 2 :Some news !!!
Day 5 at 00:48:13 the subtitles are still working on this new game !!! I didn't go to God or Estates for the moment ! Is it the reason why ? How long will the subtitles last

No, I mean I don't remember there were subtitles, I still need to re-install the game... so can't be sure till I try it out myself!

[duncan]

Is it related to advancing the plot?

How far in the plot did you progress in your second try?

[sushi]

If you mean manually in the god hangar...
I didn't advanced the game.

If you mean naturally following the game scénario I'm plot 3... I have destroyed the Mass Driver parts.

I've just verified day 4 12:13:50. the subtitles are still there in that second try, if I teleport to God Hangar.
But !!!
If I go to Trade central or Breaker Maker 2 or Downtown Central all the subtitles disappear. And then if I go to God the subtitles are lost too !!
So let say that at this time all the subtitles are gone... RIP

Here is a link to download my English UIM06 HardwarW.exe if you want to try it : petit fichier: HardwarW.zip

[Pilot]

Other than the subtitles not appearing that is the location that they show up, in my copy and your exe.

Can you upload a sav file that has the problem?

[sushi]

Here you are (file not zipped) : petit fichier: Essai.sav

Good News !

All the subtitles are back !

I have been captured by one of those aliens vehicles that fly around... As Duncan told about the plots, I decided to go in hangars to verify. The subtitles are ok everywhere I go...

It is really strange isn't it ?

Let see if the issue come back...
Do you experience the same with my save game Pilot
