Hello,

 

 

I've been having an issue with the texts I recieve from [Control]. When checking ID or recieving calls, the text from control doesn't fit on my screen. I'm running a 1920X1080 resolution, and I've tried both 16:10 and 16:9 aspect ratios. But I still have the issue of not being able to read all the text.

 

Is there a fix that I can apply for this?

 

Thank you.

 

 

EDIT: I solved it. See this post.

Are you using any other mods? Legal copy of the game? 

Sorry forgot that information. I'm using a legit, up-to-date copy of the game via Steam. LCPD:FR 1.0c. all Microsoft dependencies installed (Vs 2010 x86, vs 2012 x64, etc).

 

The mods I'm using:
ELS v8

FirstPerson

Traffic Flow.

Less overtaking.

Speed Radar.

And finally A trainer program.

Hm, does it work without any mods other than LCPDFR? That way we can single out if it's a mod causing your issue. 

I just went through and disabled all the mods I listed. I still have the issue. I called in an ID on a random ped, and the text was still cut off. Here is specifically what I'm seeing. The bolded underline is the text that is falling off the screen.

 

 

"[Control] The suspect has 2 citations and a valid lisence. He's been stopped #

times before and has no active warrants"

 

The same goes for other calls as well.

Interesting. Did you use the manual or automatic installer?

I've tried both. Each time LCPDFR released an update I uninstalled the old version. I've had this issue since version 1.0 as well. I also have a backup of GTA4 that I use sometimes for a fresh install. I can't seem to figure out the issue unfortunately =/

Hm neither can I, sorry.

No problem, thank you for replying.

Do you run it in windowed or fullscreen mode?

Do you run it in windowed or fullscreen mode?

 

Full screen. I checked my AMD videocard program to make sure there wasn't an under/overscaling problem and all seemed fine there. I searched the web for about 4 hours yesterday and I couldn't find anything. I was thinking maybe the hud wasn't scaling right, or if there was an option to move the Control callout box in the font.dat files or something.

 

Here is a screenshot of what im seeing.

I just tried a fresh install, no other mods other than LCPDFR, still have the issue which makes me think it might be something outside of the game but I'm not sure. I'm not sure what file the control dialogue box references to get it's size or position. Does it use the ingame font? Or does it reference something external? If you could let me know it may help me pinpoint a solution.

 

Is there a way to change the font size, or edit a file to move the position of the control dialogue box?

 

I have noticed too that the resolution size does have an effect. When I lower the resolution, more of the dialogue box disappears of screen. When I raise it again to my maxiumum resolution, it's like it doesn't quite seem big enough to show the whole thing, even though it matches my desktop resolution (1920X1080).

Try changing the video mode in the graphics settings tab.

I fixed it!

 

After days of searching I came up with my own solution. I knew it had to be something out of the game so I did some digging and configuring.

 

It turns out that, if you are running larger windows and text on your desktop ,it will affect the callout text in game as well.

 

So here's out to fix it! (For those of you who may stumble upon this in google).

 

Go to Control panel > displays. (If you're on windows 7) If you have it set to Medium (125%) or Larger (150%) it will bump the callout text off your screen. Set it back to standard and it will fix your issue.

Thank you i had the same problem as well (:
