Scrollbars Missing? Update Windows to 20H2 (ex Lost My Levers!)

Interestingly I tried launching on loader 5.8 which I still have and I get exactly the same problem. That suggests to me it's a problem linked to Window's, but I don't claim to be anything of an expert on computers.

That and the original post was before V5.15 of the Loader, and a few months after the previous version with no intermediate reports leads me to agree.

The GF window has its controls dynamically added at runtime, as opposed to nearly every other window in the Loader. The only one I can think of that adds dynamically is the Start New Simulation -> Select Options tab but that does not have any sliders.

For those that are having display issues and have Three Bridges, does the Coulsdon North GF work okay? Bear in mind there is a 120s timeout after pressing the F before the release can be taken. There are no sliders on this GF. Also, just to be sure, are the F3 (Options) -> Failures sliders working?

Hi Geoff,

I have no failures sliders on Three Bridges.

However, the Couldson GF works as it should.

I should add that, as I don't think it's been explicitly said, - GF tick boxes don't work for me either.

When you say "don't work", do you mean they do not appear at all, or that the boxes are there but can't be clicked on? The latter is probably going to happen anyway if you can't release the frame - though as a dev, you can play with a test sim to prove that theory.

So my desktop PC had Windows 20H2 update installed and that was fine. My laptop was not on 20H2 and did exhibit the issue. Updating to the latest Windows update (twice) cured the issue - sliders now worked.

I'd appreciate if anybody else with the slider issue could check they are on the latest Windows version and report back.

Edit - it's now asking me to restart again, so I'll try that first.

silly question how do you check what version of windows my laptop is running

many thanks
