so i finally got the test server loaded... but ... wow is it tiny.. unless i full screen (and i cannot game on full screen i have other stuff to do). i cannot read anything.. i dont mean zoom in to land and buildings - i mean the ENTIRE game screen is ant writing - cant read the chat window or anything (its like 3 font)
https://prnt.sc/12x48v0
i tried the usual browser page zoom - it has no affect.... ideas?
the client vs the test server in size
https://prnt.sc/12x4kqx
further to what others say -- i cannot post on the other forum either.. and no I never linked w facebook so that 'workaround' is of no use. (nor am i ...)
https://prnt.sc/12x4bq2
and i'm stuck at lvl 3 . geez
cant drop the 10 settlers on to the mayors
i get no icon to drop.. no glowing mayor .. just the cancel icon ... and even if i pretend its invisible it doenst work (clicking on mayor after i select settlers does nothing) tried zoomed, reg and full screen.. nada
https://prnt.sc/12x4y7u
i refreshed w/ no change
locking out chat below 5 .. is stupid. i cant even ask for help ... not to mention i have to find the english chat again (that should be listed at top of global for test)

I opened both - minimized windows and for me the test server has clearly larger fonts and the buildings look pretty much the same size - left test and right live - I would guess 11-12pt vs 9-10pt font sizes.

CB your screen shots of live is not how the game is by default you have something going on there - it is almost like you are using windows accessibility features
And these are font sizes - my program didn't even have a '3'pt.

font size was an example - meaning its really tiny.
i dont use accessibility at all .. My fonts are fine on full screen but not when in tab.
cant see anything in my browser settings to min the screen graphics and fonts. and browser zoom is completely ignored.
what browser are you using? i'm on opera.
it loads REALLY slowly for me. I don't mean just bar either. It will load the game and stop at 80% to tell me hardware acceleration is off (even though it is on) and then when it loads the game, it takes about 3 or 4 minutes just to go from a blue screen to a green empty island, and then another couple minutes to load in the buildings. It is utterly terrible. Even the actions taken (build a building, send a general) take much longer than they should.
I loaded it today for the first time. Finding the link to it should be a lot easier BTW!
The game loads much faster, but its full of bugs. The only one that unmanageable is the Out of Memory bug. Reload is fast though, for me anyway.
Game actions are lag-filled. The interaction we have waiting for server responses (such as quest updates, explorer/geo/general actions) is still there. Some of the old click throughs are gone. Zooming is not as functional as original.
But... still doesn't inspire me...
Literally, the one thing that made me quit was the explorer spam that was needed daily. With the current interface, you must wait until the server response is received before sending another explorer out otherwise the menu bugs out. Instead of 10 minutes to send explorers out, it'll be more like 20-25 on live.
So NO. Just NO.
