Well, the day has come. I am leaving the forest. Forever. I will still be here, but I don't have my bottom emotes, and I have no clue why. I am sorry. Thank you for playing with me, whoever wanted to, and thank you for enjoying my company!


Wait... I must try something. Please stand by.

In window mode, I've noticed

In window mode, I've noticed that you can't always see the little tab at the bottom of the screen that brings the control window up. If I can't see the tab, I just click on the bottom of the screen anywhere, (usually in the middle), and it brings the control window up.

If that doesn't help, I suggest you make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card and reinstall direct x after updating your drivers.

To upgrade your drivers...

1) Download the latest drivers for your graphics card.
2) Download the latest version of direct x for your operating system (Windows version)
3) Uninstall your old graphics card drivers then reboot the pc when prompted. (If windows tries to find your drivers while rebooting, just cancel it)
4) Install your latest graphics card drivers then reboot the pc when prompted.
5) Install the latest version of direct x then reboot the pc.
6) Cross your fingers and hope TEF works this time!

It works just fine Sluggs,

It works just fine Sluggs, but.. Oh, Let me just do this. Get the almighty pics for you guys.



As you can see, there are no bottom, bottom buttons.
It's like this for both emote sets.

I think they mean the row

I think they mean the row that has the dot on the far left; clicking on it opens the menu. And if I hear you're in windowed mode, I maximize my screen. c: It doesn't overlap your task bar and you can see the 'buttons' then. I don't even understand your problem, but if that's what it is, I hope it works. I would hate to see you go even if I don't know you. ;; There's also the ESC button.

Ohh so not the action buttons

Ohh so not the action buttons then, my mistake...I have no idea what could cause that though. Maybe what Her advised would help? Sad

I don't think that's that, I can see the dot in that screenshot. I think Alpha means that when tries pressing the buttons, nothing happens, like if they weren't there. But I'm most likely mistaken.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You mean only the orange set of emotes work, and the blue doesn't... well, that's a really odd glitch and I have to say this is the first of it's kind I've ever heard .-. Aside from what Sluggs already said, then, I've no clue how that can be fixed other than the obvious reinstalling. Ah, I'm soso sorry your game had to come to this and ruin things ;_____; Unfair.

Can you confirm which actions

Can you confirm which actions you're missing? Here is the list of all actions available in the forest.

(Just as a note, I'm not sure why Eat was never removed from that list, as it is not available in the current versions.)

Ok let me see if I got it; you press the blue or orange buttons in the main menu and nothing happens? Is that it?

Or do they appear, but don't do anything?

Okay, nevermind. I though I

Okay, nevermind. I though I was missing buttons, but I wasn't. I used to have two rows of buttons. I don't get why no one could see my issue.



I did not have all the buttons.
They worked fine, but I did not have all the buttons.

Okay. Can you finaly get what I was trying to say? Why was it soo hard to see?!

*Ahem ahem* I think you

*Ahem ahem*

I think you should read more closely what you are saying Smiling

For what I can understand, you used to have bigger buttons, in the size of 128, and then you accidentaly touched the options to 64 or lower. The Huge buttons option gets two rows in full-screen, and the others get a single one.

Now please don't blame other people when you make a mistake for not paying attention... :'(

Remember the timeless saying,

Remember the timeless saying, "look before you leap". Smiling It is always better to investigate something fully before making a rash choice, like deciding to leave altogether. Software can do odd things sometimes, but troubleshooting almost always works.

When in doubt, simply... ask. Smiling
