Issues fixed

Unreadable subtitles

Example of unreadable subtitles and with workaround applied
Example of unreadable subtitles and with workaround applied
Italic font may cause letters to clip each other, making subtitles very difficult or impossible to read. Both Windows and Linux can be fixed with the same workaround.
Workaround
  1. Edit this file: <path-to-game>/Entropy Zero/Entropy Zero/EntropyZero/resource/clientscheme.res
  2. Find section "CloseCaption_Italic", change setting "italic" to "0"
  3. Find section "CloseCaption_BoldItalic", change setting "italic" to "0"
  4. Save file, play game.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/714070/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (714070) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
