Description of the Problem

When using Wwise on Japanese Windows systems, and possibly other languages, the contents of some Wwise views is sized/positioned in such a way that part of the view is unavailable, for example:

An optional fix is available since Wwise 2008.4

In Wwise 2008.4 we introduced a fix for this problem, but it needs to be enabled with a registry key. Note that this fix was tested on Vista Japanese systems, but not on XP or other versions of Windows.

Enabling the Fix
To enable the fix, follow these steps:

1. Download the attached zip file.
2. Extract the .reg files it contains.
3. Double-click on Wwise_EnableDPIFix.reg.
4. You will be prompted, possibly more than once, to confirm you want to apply the changes from the .reg file. Accept the changes.
5. Restart Wwise.

The views that previously had display problems should now appear normally.

Disabling the Fix

If you want to disable that fix for any reason, follow this procedure:

1. Double-click on Wwise_DisableDPIFix.reg.
2. You will be prompted, possibly more than once, to confirm you want to apply the changes from the .reg file. Accept the changes.
3. Restart Wwise.
