Evening folks.

I’ve just downloaded mir 2.6 crystal files and seem to be having an issue reading NPC Text.

It must be something to do with the resolution/graphics but I’m struggling to fix it.

Basically white text with yellow text over the top of it.

I had to download the Direct X 3/3.5 versions to get past the black screen issue I was having when launching the auto patcher.exe

Photo attached

Sorry bit premature, sent this on my iPhone and it won’t let me upload a photo lol.

Using an new laptop - Windows 10 Intel Graphics if it helps. Will try upload a photo tomorrow

Change your font size scaling to 100% in windows settings

Thanks for your help Far, really appreciate it.

So ive gone into my Windows settings and made it 100% - basically everything on my laptop, text, icons are now super small.

see attached settings changed - has not changed anything on server still getting the same double up text on NPC's

Theres no other reason why your text would be so large. Try restarting your pc. Other than that im out of ideas.

that's a common error, not related.

If your font still looks as big in game as the screenshot you provided it's def still a scaling issue.

Try turning font scaling down to 80% or something

100% it's your own computer's settings, I had this on one of my laptops awhile ago.
