Ok, this was posted on the gamigo forums but didnt get resolved by anyone but me so here is what happened. My screen resolution is 1680x1050 and worked excellent until the server move. Since the logout option was bugged, it forced me to ALT F4 to close. When I re started the game, the screen res stayed at 1680x1050 BUT the game image itself was 800x600 causing everything to be extremely small. I tried a repair but it said failed. I currently use the client download but tried the browser version with the same results. I cleaned out my cache, temp inet files, uninstalled and reinstalled and then it worked fine. After I alt f4 to exit out, I would reinstall the game and then could play just fine. posted below are the posts from the other forums.

Some heads up on the progress I made while trying to RESOLVE my own issues. This BUG IS fixable with me RE-installing the client from download. Most of this is from not being able to log out and forcing a CLOSE with Alt F4. IF I log out properly, the BUG doesnt come back. Maybe with all the SELF trouble shooting and REPAIR, I should get a DEVS job?
=========================================================================================
Fixed temporarily. The nuisance is still there of having to REINSTALL the game every time I want to log in and play the game. This ALT F4 is killin everyone and that is the MAJOR problem that is causing my issue. The "hardware" problem was not the issue here. What is the issue is bad programming that is causing the ALT F4 closing. PPL are losing Cry, gold, BP's and yes, COMPLETE ships because of this BUG ISSUE. It seriously needs to get fixed. Im losing time on my membership cause of it and soon I will demand a reimbursement of all time lost added back to my membership or some other sort of compensation.
