Date Misaligned

Are you talking about the In-Game date (aka "22 Jan 2890") in the upper right corner? 

I'm not getting a bug on my machine...do you have the resolution set to something other than 1024x768?

like this
It is off on all resolution setting that i have tried.

Hmmm...It looks like you're having some sort of streching/placement problem with the screen objects. You can see that side bar is shifted a few pixels to the left, as is the little window that's supposed to hold the date.

Thanks for the post...we'll get back to you as the problem gets sorted out 

I play at 1280*1024. How did you get the screenshot in? I tried with no success.

In post #2

Monitor Max Resolution: 1600,1280

Can that be correct? I didn't know there was a screen or display card that could display more than 1200 pixels vertically. The max on my display is 1600*1200.

Can that be correct? I didn't know there was a screen or display card that could display more than 1200 pixels vertically. The max on my display is 1600*1200

That has only been available for about 6 months.. before that my screen and graphic card max resolution was only 1600*1200 . It was about two graphic card drivers ago that it got updated.
It works but i never use it.
At the moment i play the game at 1024*768

I play at 1280*1024. How did you get the screenshot in? I tried with no success.

Crtl-print screen in game
open up favourite graphics editor..
paste screen shot in
crop to bit needed and save as jpg
ftp to personal web server or web space
bring up pic in browser
copy link
create post in forum
hit the "image" button
past url of picture into pop up box
subit post..

Sounds like the driver has a bug. Can this particular hardware's capability be changed by a driver? I think not.

as i said

It works but i never use it.

Well I've had this graphics card and monitor setup for near on three years..
The first driver I had for the graphics card could not go upto 1600*1200. 12 months later it could.

I also get the same effect.
