All Menus shift Up and to Left on Log-In

Eryialne - Raging Tide

A trouble I have been dealing with for over a year.

Every time I log into the game, all of my windows/menus move up and to the left. My Character Info, my Inventory, my Genie, my Hotbars, my Quest Log, my Quest Tracker, my Pet bag, my Skills window, my Actions, my Trade windows, my NPC dialogue boxes. Everything moves.

It's a very slight movement, so it's almost hard to notice after one Log-In. However, after multiple Log-In's, it becomes very noticeable. I've dealt with the problem up until now as I only played one character. But recently I've been playing a new character, and as I switch back and forth, this problem becomes noticeable very quickly.

It's annoying not in a game-breaking sense, as I CAN deal with it: I systematically move all my menus back to where I like them. However, at this point, I would greatly appreciate some troubleshooting on the matter. I'd like my menus to stay put!

I play in Windowed mode, at a resolution of 1280x1024. Help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance

I do have some pictures, to help you see what I mean

What I try to keep my Venomancer's screen like


What happens after 10 Log-Ins: As you can see, my Hotbar moved quite a bit, and my Genie noticeable moved. Same with my Quest Tracker


After 15 Log-Ins: Bit more extreme, I think. It's not fun

The game saves the window positions in a few ini files. Looks like in your game those files aren't getting updated. Simplest fix would be to reinstall the game I think.

Are you sure you posted the right screens?

I notice that problem as well for quite some time. Doesn't annoy me much, but it's there.

I've tried reinstalling a few times, but didn't work.

Same happens with my map coordinates. Just like the windows in game they move as I relog.

I re-installed when Arc came around. I actually had hoped it would fix the problem, but apparently not b:laugh. And also, I do believe those are the correct screenshots, why? Do windows not appear to have moved to you? Maybe I'm just very controlling about my windows being in exact places b:shocked

I have that happen on one of my PC's also. Only seems to occur on the 4:3 displays. I set the configuration ini to read-only after I got it set up and saved. It's a real PITA to do though.

My display is 16:9 and I play on windowed mode. Not sure if this info is of use, but I'll put it here anyway. I'll see if I set the ini on read-only and test. If I remember.

Yes, it's visible they moved a bit. The one i mostly notice to be off is the quest tracker when it's covering the map buttons. I'm very detailist and to avoid getting mad I move them to the corner they go to. Certainly moving windows a bit because of this tiny issue is better than when I accidentaly resized the client window and lost track of most of the windows and bars in game. b:laugh

There was a time the map coordinates did not move. Think it was about a year ago. Don't recall the other windows moving at the time though.

Have this problem too, kinda silly to store the window positions if they are not restored correctly

The most annoying problem is the Icons that can't be moved, e.g. my "Reflection" icon is now at most left and most top position

The Icon for teleport (when I'm in PV) is now under the chat window

Have to deal with that bug so long I almost got used to it b:angry

FIX THAT ALREADY PLS!

**EDIT**

I used Notepad++ to compare the ini files where all those Positions are stored

Result: 30-40% of the values are decreased slightly after a relog, and it happens only if windowed mode is used instead of fullscreen mode

Looks like the reference point to calculate the positions for each item is not the same when saving/restoring
