Crash March 1890 on clicking turn

[pgtips]

What file in the Game# folder is the save game for diagnostic purposes?
I don't know if the error is repeatable, but if it is I shall try to get the screen print to work too (something cleared the paste buffer).

Thanks pgtips !

We need the entire save folder to be able to process the save and see what may be going on. If you can, please upload the save that shows the issue by going to your game's Save folders, zipping up the entire save folder for the game, and leaving a link to it here using a file-sharing website like WeTransfer, MediaFire, Google Drive, Drop Box, etc to post the save to.

It is any save where I use a second screen outside the game window. If I stop to watch an episode of something, when I get back to it any button comes up with "access violation". To be clear, I HDMI cable up between the TV and laptop. It happened when I tried to show a friend RTW3 on the TV (the text is small even on a 17in screen). I'm reading this at 120% for comfort.

Ahhh...ok, there is a known issue (in some unusual cases) with multiple monitors potentially causing issues with the game engine GDI output. We are currently evaluating possible changes/update paths for the RTW game engine which would (among other benefits) help resolve these sort of issues; however, please bear in mind that any such change will/would require significant time to accomplish and test to make sure everything is in working order with it.

So can you find a way for larger text? Wrap around text within columns say? I've given up playing it after a few weeks of trying with the big TV. 

I think CVs could use a little work too. Armour design rules for battleships applied to CV belts and decks? Multi deck armour to reduce top weight? Partial coverage over hangers or between anti-torpedo bulkheads only? I don't know, maybe that all comes in after the point I can play to without blurring and headaches.

We are looking at a way to possibly revamp the UI and engine; if this works out as we hope, it should resolve pretty much all UI/text issues.
