Hi everyone
I seem to be having a rather odd issue here, and what's so
frustrating is, so far, it seems to be isolated to my machine. I
don't know if you guys are familiar with the RS Games client, it's a
program that allows you to play games like Monopoly, and Uno online
with other players. In previous releases, it read everything in a
transcript so you could keep track of what's happening in the
game.. All of a sudden though, at least in the monopoly game on my
particular machine, wineyes is doing this thing where it'll skip over
very important game information, that should be read alloud. To
demonstrate this, I'll give you an idea of how a turn in monopoly
sounds when I play it.
1. I press enter to roll the dice.
2. the dice roll sound plays, so far, everything's good.
3. I've rolled a 3 and a 4, so I've moved 7 spaces, which Window-eyes
tells me, so far everything's still good. Here's where the problem starts.
4. I land on an item, and usually, what you land on is read out as
in, you land on Marvin Gardens, which is a yellow property. It costs
$100. want it? that's just an aproxomation but you get the idea.
Now, instead of saying all that, window-eyes simply says, you roll 3
4. You have $1500 want it? So you see, it's completely skipped over
all the important information in the game. You can still read this
information, you can use the page up and page down keys to scroll in
the transcript window, but wineyes for whatever reason just skips
over this. I can't possibly play monopoly like this. I've already
tried uninstalling, and re-installing the RS games client, and I've
also tried running the program with scripting status disabled. It
doesn't really rely on any scripts, so I didn't think that would
really matter, and it turns out that's the case. But the big
question is, why is this happening? Why is all that necessary text
just being skipped over, and better yet, is there something that I
need to do, or is this something on RS game's end? What is so
frustrating is that the program worked just great a few short days
ago, everything read just as it should. However it isn't now. I've
really enjoyed playing monopoly but if I can't find some kind of a
fix, I can't do it with any reliability. and again, it only seems to
be isolated to this machine. Do any of you folks have any ideas
here? I am stumped.
Thanks.
