I have noticed with the release of the new loader that sticky notes is now an issue when I right click in the sim the menu option for it is still there but NO dialoge box appears and the sim essentially becomes unplayable as the sim treats it as open and with no way to close the missing box. I have tried this on a couple of sims with the same result. This happened to me last night playing tyneside in multi-player and I had to ask host to disconnect me and I then had to force SimSig to close, and has happened to me playing solo today where after using sticky notes had to force SimSig to close. --------------------- mods/staff If this is not the correct place in the forums I apologise but not sure were it would go otherwise Last edited: 27/08/2016 at 12:06 by MarkC Log in to reply |

Interesting! I checked Sticky Notes on Tyneside and it function correctly. Suggest you reload the Loader. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |

I have reinstalled system files, and it still happens the only sims of mine it doesn't appear to be affected are paged or scrolly that doesn't need the loader (ie:euston)

Mark, I have just tried this and am afraid to say I have no problem getting the sticky to function correctly just the same as Barry. Sorry if I sound as though I am preaching to you but I take it that you are right clicking on the sim black background and not on the headcode of a train. You can then move the sticky to where ever you want it. Log in to reply |

I have used sticky notes plenty. I found the issue eventually it was the sticky note positioning settings in the registry, it had it set for off screen had to uninstall then go though registry delete them then reinstall and update works again now Thanks all Last edited: 27/08/2016 at 10:58 by MarkC Log in to reply The following user said thank you: northroad |

Any idea what the registry key was and what you changed it from / to? Then perhaps the devs can look into 'sanity checking' it on load.

" said:Any idea what the registry key was and what you changed it from / to? Then perhaps the devs can look into 'sanity checking' it on load.I no longer have the keys they were when the issue occured, but only now have the refreshed keys from the default install. If the devs' would like them I would be happy to e-mail it to them, if they send me PM with an e-mail address to send to Log in to reply |

There are 6 registry keys associated with sticky notes - last used foreground, background, X, Y, width, and height. The X/Y are checked to ensure they're in screen bounds. So if Windows/your video device driver incorrectly reports the screen size then it could go off-screen. Finally, the sticky notes code hasn't changed since 3rd February, a few versions ago.

I had the same problem. What I had to do to fix it... 1. ALT-TAB to the right window if it's not already selected (not that you can see it!) 2. Press Left ALT then down arrow twice (or pressing M should have same effect) 3. Press left/right arrows on keyboard and the window should appear somewhere
