Realm Works 1.0.39 and 1.0.40, and Major Realm Works Release Status - Page 3

The client should really check for new versions automatically.

Updated all three systems with out issue, well updated two and installed fresh on my Surface Pro 3. Seems Windows 10 decided that a refresh was needed....Files getting stale and all.

Not that the Realm Works user base is the largest pool in which to phish, but still, I'm pretty hesitant to click on links like that. The (purported) October Update also isn't on the Realm Works website (news and announcements), and the client itself doesn't automatically notice this download, which makes it seem even less official.

Compare with the links in the forum post:

GREAT catch, ever thought of running courses for users?

Man if everyone was so savvy there wouldn't be 99% of the virus infections.

Just for more data: 199 is working fine on my tablet.

Windows 10 Home 32-bit

It already does if you log in, but how it tells you changed in this version. I might have gone farther, but whatever.

I believe the issues being run into are with font scaling. Within Windows 7, for example, right-click on the desktop background and select screen resolution. In the dialog that comes up, select "Make text and other items larger or smaller." From that dialog, you are probably set to something other than 100%. I am working on an update to fix this, but as a workaround, you could change this to 100%.

I would not click on a link like that either....

This resolved the problem for me. My font scaling was set at 125% by default (it wasn't manually adjusted by me I'm certain, because I have never used this feature).

It did fix it though and I was able to get into the realm and proceed with the work done on desktop.

Thank you very much for the early morning weekend support.

Indeed, turning off the font scaling (which I also hadn't known was turned on) fixed the issue, and the launcher now looks normal.

Thank you for the fast response!
