Ok, so I installed it now...and everything is different, even DQ:E looks different, the text and stuff.

Anyway, I have been holding back on posting bugs so far because I didn't know how many were caused just by using IE6, but now here is a list:

All the galaxy map buttons like the zoom and move buttons dont display when you go to the map from the menu at the top, also the ship symbol in the corner of the system map are gone. It works when I first log in, but after this they are gone. This happens in both IE 6 and 7.

It also seems that logging out and back in with the same window does not bring them back, they only display when I close the browser, and come to DQ:H, then log in. Then as soon as I move from that page and return they do not come back unless I repeat that process...

I still have the image missing in the planet screen, but otherwise it looks nice

Clicking ships on the map that already have a destinaton won't let you do anything, like view them or change their course.

I think their were a few more things, but can't remember, may have been IE 6 only. Anyway, it looks alot better now in IE7

I'll try to reproduce all these bugs. Just to try a solution maybe, please clear your browser cash. I hope some of the bugs are generated because old cashed materials.

BTW, are you under proxy?

I deleted all browsing history if thats what you mean, cookies, temporary files history etc, but that hasnt solved the map problems, will check the others now.

EDIT: Image is still missing on planets page, ships with destination dont work...

Also, if its any help. The spinning loading disk is at the center of the screen when I first log in, and when the things display. All times after this, it moves to the top left corner.

Maybe this could be caused by things being aligned wrong? Maybe the buttons do display but are pushed off screen? Not sure, just an idea

Also the ship on the system map does display now always, so thats one thing thats fixed But it does nothing when clicked.

Also, the science page, it has trouble fitting it to the screen now. I dont remember this problem with IE6, but not 100% sure.

The bottom scroll bar is below the page and you have to scroll down before you can use it. Its only a very small thing, but is a bit annoying. Is their any way to fit it to the screen? The problem is that I cant just scroll using the mouse, because this scrolls down the science list, not the page, so I have to use the bar at the side. Its not much of a problem though, just a bit annoying

I think its just caused by monitor size, the screen is too small for it to fit too, and I know this isnt a problem with the game, just one of those things.

The main problem is that the page has its own scroll bars in the tech list, and so I cant just scroll down to get to it, because scrolling scrolls the science list So I have to use the browser side scroll bar. As I said, its just a bit annoying, not really a bug...

Anyway, what I was meaning is could it be made so that the science list is a part of the page, and not in its own box? So you can scroll down the whole page to see it, this way the browsers own scroll bar at the bottom and side will be enough, like the map in DQ:E?

I will send a screen if you still want it

Another bug with the map that is again both in IE6 and 7.

Firstly, if you hold the mouse over empty space, then use mouse scroll wheel, then you scroll the page.

If you hold the mouse over a star and scroll then it zooms, its the only way I have had to zoom with no buttons. Its not a bug but just explaining what I am doing.

Anyway, some times their are black bars across the galaxy map when you zoom out, I will send you a screen by email for you to see.

Also, the map seems to move down by itself when I scroll out this way, it should easily fit on the page, but moves down and makes scroll bars for no reason.

Also, if you zoom in too far then lines for ships etc grow and fill the page, maybe their should be a limit on how far you can zoom in.

I will send an email with screen of all this. BTW, all this happened in both IE 6 and 7.

Ok. Send those screens. And don't test it in IE6 we dont care about it . Test in IE7 only and IE8 when it is released.

BTW what screen resolution do you have? Game is designed for 1024x768 minimum resolution.

Im not testing in IE6, its deleted from the system, I am just remembering from what happened when I was using it, just so you know this is not a new bug with IE7

Some flash bug fixed:

PS: Don't forget to clear your browser's cash before trying it.
