Whenever I go to the part where I have to choose a faction the bottom and right side of the page will disappear, not allowing me to choose a bottom faction or play.  As shown above

Developer(+1)

Can you give me more details on the type of device/computer that you are trying to play the game? From the screenshot it looks like the game is scaled up to much. Maybe a virtual desktop, multimonitor setup? If it's PC could you run dxdiag, click save all and send me the txt in an email? I'm away this week, but next week I'll try looking into this.

Until then you can try running the game in windowed mode on Windows: "bote.exe --res=1440x810" for example.

I cannot seem to find your email...so here:

It's related to the system DPI setting, it should be left at 100% for now. I'm working on a fix and I will update the game when it's done.

As for the email, I've updated the page, but it's boteandroid (at) gmail (dot) com

Developer (1 edit)

For now the workaround is this: Right click on bote.exe, go to Compatibility and check Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: Application. This should fix your issue. I will try to have a permanent solution at a later time.
