Thank you for your reply, Eric. Your answers are precise and helpful. You had a couple of questions, which I´d like to answer.
1920x1080 is the resolution I use on my desktop as well as ingame. I play fullscreen (with the steam overlay). With the newest changes (SP4) the windowed versions of my reports look a little different. The navigation buttons are now on the right and everything is much easier to read. I have made some screenshots. (files are attached)
As you can see, the navigation buttons are now on the upper right. They were below the text before. This allows more space for the report itself, which is now upright. Before these recent changes the window was much smaller and I had two scrollbars (horizontal & vertical). With only one scrollbar and upright layout it is much easier to read. Since it appears a bit smaller, there is less scolling. These changes are welcomed.
Especially when reading "gear city monthly" the changes have helped making reading much easier.
You also asked for a logfile. I uploaded it here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/13FuFNMt...sp=sharing) but can also send it via e-mail.
I have located the files, but am not sure which changes I have to do to which files. I read the Gear City Wiki but couldn`t find any information on how to adjust CSS files. It is nothing urgent, but if you have a link or some advise, I would be thankful.
Sorry to hear that - it was meant to be a suggestion from someone, who loves the game.
I wasn´t aware that alt-tabbing was the cause of the crashes. I did it frequently in the past, especially when listening to a podcast alongside or a friend who chatted with me via Steam. Good to know. Now I start my music or podcast first, then start the game and everything runs smoothly and stable.
The game itself is something special. I have played it longer than any other game in my life, even though it is a hardcore economic simulation. The early years are very challenging, especially with stiff competition. Even after so many new starts, I sometimes fail within the first ten years, especially when trying out something new. The possiblility of modding (changing logos, adjusting the AI) has enriched the game experience alot. I could spend hours in the creator - staring at long columns and lists. It isn´t a game that looks super fance but has a depth that I have seldomly experienced; plus, it puts a smile on my face.
Quote:Are you playing the game fullscreen or windowed? What is the actual resolution the game is running at? Window decoration, such as your taskbar can reduce the resolution of the game. Large report windows are displayed if the height of the resolution is above 1050px, otherwise it will use the small report window. If you upload your log file I can tell you what the game is running at: http://wiki.gearcity.info/doku.php?id=tr...e_log_file
A screenshot might also help.

Quote:You can not change the report fonts of the reports from in game. Since all reports are just webpages viewed in a web browser, you can edit the css files located in the ./GearCity/Sites folder.
If it seems that fonts have been made smaller, this is because fullscreen was disabled for DirectX.

Quote:There isn't, and probably won't be a centralized report for AI like this. If a company is not public, then most of the information can be found in the stock report as you mentioned.

Quote:Telling me the game crashes doesn't help any. Logfiles are the only things that help me with crashes. That being said, most likely the crash is related to alt-tabbing or otherwise the game losing focus (like Steam Overlay), especially if you are playing fullscreen.
