The black floor tile issue (2.3.5)

Estie · August 28, 2019, 14:15

I remember having fixed this one long ago, but I cant remember what I did back then and on my new win10 computer I am unable.

The issue: floor tiles are black instead of a white dot

I tried:

commenting out F:1:0x0C/0x1F in font-win.prf. It does fix tiles that are perma-lit, but the torch lit ones stay black. Also, I get relics of @ on the screen, no idea if this is related.

Has anyone with win10 had similar issues, and/or an idea how to resolve this ?

I think this is a long standing Windows problem even since the XP days. There was a .prf workaround but I have to find it

As Hugo said the problem is in the font-win.prf, you have to edit it and comment all the lines in order to use the default visuals. You can also edit visuals using the % command

Thanks everyone - I managed to fix it by using the % command, I had forgotten about this.

The changes made are saved in a file user-win.prf, it doesnt modify font-win.prf.
