Tooltip box scaling issues/does not change size

[Meathim]

Hey hey!

I reinstalled the game recently, and ever since I am having this issue: The tooltip boxes (all of them, every single one) does not change size in game, and the text scales to fit. When I alt-tab out and in again whereever the cursor is will be the "standard" size of the tooltip until alt-tabbing out and in again. See screenshots for how it looks.

I know I had this issue before, but I can't for the life of me remember how I got rid it. It happens both with vanilla and with DLC loaded (the Old Gods in my case). It's the steam version of the game. And to add to the fun, the EU4 demo does exactly the same thing, so it's either related to the Clausewitz engine, my GPU and/or the monitor.

The native resolution is 1680 x 1050, but it behaves the same no matter how I change the resolution and settings.

System specifications:

CPU: Celeron G550
Motherboard: Asus P8H61-M LX3 Plus R2.0
RAM: 2 x 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz
GPU: Geforce 8800GTS 640MB
Storage: Samsung HD103SJ, WD Scorpio Blue 160GB
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 205BW
PSU: FSP400-60APN
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
I'm pretty confident I have the latest drivers and DirectX. In any case those have not changed since when the game worked.
All temps are fine.


So, any ideas?

Hi Meathim,

Please post a dxdiag of your system, read below on how you can do that:

• Open your Start menu
• Type "dxdiag" in the search field (without quotes)
• Open the dxdiag program
• A window called "DirectX Diagnostic Tool" should pop up now
• At the bottom right-hand side, click on "Save all information"
• Save it to a place where you can find it easily, for example your desktop
• Open the file and copy and paste the text between [NOPARSE]
  [/NOPARSE] tags.

You can copy the line below and paste the text between the orange tags.

[/NOPARSE][/COLOR][/CODE]

Tried an older driver, and now it works as it should. Huh. Well thanks anyway, and happy hunting!

(It was probably the reinstalling of drivers that fixed it, not the reverting)
