You have a nice computer.

[robert.briscoe]

Hmmm interesting, so your regional language is set to Swedish in windows?

[Puddy]

You have a nice computer.

Yet it's not powerful enough to render Dear Esther font

rob: yes

[robert.briscoe]

ok guys, could you try this fix:

1.) Take this file: http://www.littlelostpoly.co.uk/PVT/Misc/fonts.rar

and uncompress it to the /steam/steamapps/common/dear esther/platform/vgui/fonts/ folder (overwriting any files that already exist)

2.) and then take this file: http://www.littlelostpoly.co.uk/PVT/Misc/basemodui_scheme.res

and stick it in

/steam/steamapps/common/dear esther/resource/

and tell me if it makes things any better?

[Puddy]

No change I'm afraid. I made sure to follow the instructions to the letter.
