Hi!

I experienced some difficulties with TTD runing Alpha 34:
The screensize seems to be somewhat messed up. TTD seems to adjust the 
screenhight to same size as screenwidth. In my case 1024 x 786 on an AMD 800 
MHz with an ATI Rage 128 Pro runing with Win XP SP2 and DirectX 9.0c.

I won't be able to see the status bar down at the bottom of the (game)screen 
and some of the acctual "main window" - e.g. when a newspaper pops up, the 
game will only show the headline and in case  there is a picture of a 
transport tycoon on the side of it, you'll only see half his face. The "big" 
picture on the bottom of the newspaper is not to be seen.

These error happens in every possible graphic mode from Fullscreen to 
Windowed and in Safemode. And adjusting my screen won't make it disaper 
either. Which makes me belive it has something to do with the current patch. 
Yesterday and with Alpha 33 the game was running fine.

However on my second machine (an P4 3.0GHz / ATI Radeon 9800 XT / WinXP SP2 
& DirectX 9.0c) the game is running fine with Alpha 34.

I don't know, I guess I don't really seek help or a solution to this 
problem, I just want to point out a possible bug...

Let me know if I can provide anymore useful input in terms of finding an 
error...

Good night!
