Change your UI size in video options.

sorry, i don't know what you mean..i got 3d resolution on 1680x1050, native, like my desktop and menu, or ui, i think you mean that, is set on same resolution..if i change it, i cannot pick my normal native resolution..it was always fine, i haven't changed options, one day, the damn chat appeared much higher..the other option "menu-size" also makes no change for it, only the font size changes, not the position on the screen..really strange

Quite a lot of people (myself included) have reported the same issue. I think mine came with 1.03.

jo kju, can u post your values of your profile, its in arma2 other profiles..i mean these ones, maybe i can change 'em to get the normal position back..

uiTopLeftX=0.27083334;

uiTopLeftY=0.22499999;

uiBottomRightX=0.72916663;

uiBottomRightY=0.77499998;

IGUIScale=0.55000001;

there must be values for the menu and ui size..the problem ist, that all is together, if you reduce the menu size to small, you reduce radiomessage,chat,ingame menus and stuff..i already disabled my radiomessages from my ai, because its disturbing me all the time, if they appear in the middle, like on my screenie..but if i play russians, its hard to play without the messages, because i can't understand em:)..you guys are so good in fixing stuff, i got all your proper stuff and tweaks, if you could check this issue?! that would be awesome,,you said i should change ui-size, but that doesn't work either..greetz

Looking at the config BIS doesn't use the new safeZone system for the Y coordinates (height), that's why it displays incorrectly for any aspect ratio other than 4:3.

I'll see what I can do with it, hang on.

There is an intentional gap because of the squad icons (see your original picture). Could that be it?

i know what you mean..when i chat now, it appears right over the squad-member-icons..i think the position of the chat has no influence on where the message appears? i don't know how the intentional gap works..but i know what u mean..i have another screenie to show you..

as you see, the arrows mark the position..normally this message was down the corner an fitted right into the resolution..so its in the bottom left corner...what you did was absolutely correct..just put it a bit more down, maybe 1cm..then its where it has always been..but for me, you're already the master himself:)..but don't waste so much time on it..i only wanna tell you how it was, before i recognized the position change..so when i connect to a server and already see the map, and the other ppl are connecting, i have on left corner abort/cancel and on the right "ready", so when i opened chat, it was alwas directly over the cancel button on the left..thx for your fast fix..very very nice..
