I don't know what forum section to put this in, so I'll put it here. Basically, my problem is that I run this game on a REALLY small laptop and so the screen is tiny. So tiny that when the news window opens AS SOON AS I START WITH MY CHARACTER I can't close it, so I can't play the game. Help would be appreciated.
Are you running the game at a resolution lower than 1024x600? That's the only way I could see this happening. If you can't run the game at that minimum resolution or higher there's nothing much that can be done. That 1024x600 is set as the minimum resolution for this game since that is the smallest window size that the UI still works in.
