how to play on tygem

Post by daal »

I have an account on tygem, I have downloaded and installed the software on my computer, but I can't get past the welcome screen. I enter my name and password, select a server and then nothing happens and there is no button to click. :scratch: How do I enter the game room?? Here is a screenshot. Resizing the chatting room window doesn't show anything else.

Strange. Normally there is a "Log in" button a bit below "Japan"...

Have you increased your browser's text size? Badly designed UIs often get bits pushed off the bottom and disappearing when this happens.

I tried changing the font sizes my browser and on IE, but still no log in button. I also have found neither a help button, nor a way to contact the developers. I posted about the issue on Tygems FB group, and the only response was from someone who has the same problem. :grumpy:

I found a solution (Thanks, Kirby :bow: ) I had the text size on my laptop set to 125%, and reducing it to 100% allows the tygem program to display correctly. Unfortunately, All of the Windows text is now too small for me to read comfortably, so this isn't an ideal solution, but at least we know what the problem was.

I think I remember having a similar problem as well. I can't remember for sure, but I think you could just double click on the server name or the dot to select it and it would automatically login. See if that works.

No, that didn't work. When I double clicked, the window would go blank and nothing would happen.

Ok just select server and then go to password and hit enter.
