Known Issues: text outside balloons
Short Story: if you see text going outside balloons, check your Windows display scaling settings: 125% zoom could cause the issue on some systems.
If that's your case, please try setting the zoom level to 100% (no scaling) or to values higher than 125% (untested, but should work in theory).

Long Story: Wintermute Engine, used by our game, renders text through Windows APIs.
So, outside of our control, at 125% scaling and only on some versions of Windows, text gets rendered a little bigger than expected, overflowing balloons.
The issue is quite convoluted, but if you're curious about
- why the problem exists and in which cases exactly it shows up
- why we can't fix it
- why it happens only at 125% and not at higher scaling values
you might check this awesome article: http://kynosarges.org/WindowsDpi.html

Please write here, providing details about your system (OS versions, scaling settings, other potentially related that comes to your mind), if the suggested fix doesn't work for you.

Hello there. I've tried the solution suggested above to no avail. It doesn't matter if I set the display scaling to 100% or 150%, the text will still go out of the balloon, and sometimes that part of the text won't be visible at all.

I've tried unstalling and reinstalling the game, but it hasn't worked either.

My specs are:
Windows 10
GeForce GTX 970
Resolution: 1920x1080

Also, if I run the standard version, the screen doesn't fit (the surrounding parts of the background are left out of the screen), so I'm trying the Full HD version instead.

Any help will be appreciated!
