Also, this isn't this isn't really a bug issue I suppose but is there any option of increasing the font size at all I mean even just a teeny tiny bit. I'm having to use my table's accessibility text magnifier to read some of this stuff. I have an 8-inch Android Samsung Tab a, but I spent many hours playing my new favorite game today and my eyes are a bit tired. By the way, this game is awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for when I backed it way back when. Glad you got it installed and working  We're working on improving scaling for Android models -- there are lots of them so its an interesting challenge to get it right. Next update should improve your situation. |

Hi,
I've been playing the Android version on my Galaxy S9+ and noticed that if I have the sound enabled, when I background the app there's a pretty loud crackling sound coming from the phone, even if I lock it!
I have to kill the game from the recents menu on the phone to stop the noise.
Obviously doesn't happen with any other apps.
Device: Galaxy S9+
App Version: 2.4.37
EDIT: and now when I went to see if it stopped when I disabled music or sfx, it's gone completely, despite happening consistently yesterday/this morning.
Well, worth posting this report anyway I guess.

winfij - thanks for the report. The sound is the SFX for the engine. Certain Android software + hardware have a bug since 4.4 that causes looping sound to get stuck. Some devices even keep playing the sound after the game has been force-killed. It is on our list to try to resolve before we get to full production in January. Also, as you said it doesn't happen consistently. It is based on exactly when the looping sound gets stopped lol. In the mean time, I'd suggest disabling SFX.

Fenikso thanks for posting with the specifics. I can see that the game has scaled the UI as large as it can (720 is the absolutely minimum height the game can play on). Did it change? The rest of the game is now scaled better?

fallen No change. To be honest, I think it scales just fine to 1280x720. Majority of the UI is, well, reasonably sized. Just the smallest text is hard to read on 5.2" screen.

Ok, we'll keep trying to improve. However, at 720h, that is as large as the game can go without breaking most of the UIs. We had to set some reasonable limits to be able to complete the port and that was one of them. So, even if we added user-controlled scaling, the only options you'd have on that device would be to make everything smaller visually. |

We had to set some reasonable limits to be able to complete the port and that was one of them. So, even if we added user-controlled scaling, the only options you'd have on that device would be to make everything smaller visually. Understood. As I have said, there are just a few places where the text is very small. With some tweaking it would be possible to increase text size at those places. For example orbital cards could be a bit bigger if the talents would be hidden. But I have confidence that you guys will figure it out and gradually make it more phone friendly even for us older gamers with not so great eyesight  . Today I played for an hour and it was mostly fine, it is worse when I am tired. And I can always fallback to my Linux laptop. You are awesome! |

Fenikso - thanks for the feedback. Outside of the cards screen, can you help us by pointing out any other screens where you feel like the text is just too small? Funny, the cards would be bigger if the screen was taller than 720H actually.

2 issues . . My phone is a Galaxy S7 1 - the crew information pop out screen during crew combat can only be scrolled by holding the left edge of the info window 2 - a few of the talents are too long and overlap (2nd screenshot) Everything else seems fine as far as text   |

Handset: LG Flex 2 Issue: The Deceased Captain portrait is not aligned with the text box to its right. It is much more vertical (Y axis). Will return with Main Menu screenshot for scale info.   |
