Hi! When I click options or tutorial, I see that:
Some textlines in messagbox are squeezed and unreadable. My notebook is old one but fulfill minimum system requirements I think (win 7 32bit, 2gb ram, ati xpress 1100 128 mb and 1280x800 screen resolution). Logs in „stdout.txt" looks fine

I reainstall FTL(GOG version), graphic drivers too and forcing the game to full screen, but this did not help.

Does changing the size of the text help?

Not sure how to do this. I would assume it is in the options menu, however I can't read a thing when it pops up

Just made the text bigger and smaller (go figure), didn't solve the text wrapping issue though.
Any other ideas?

Sorry about this guys. I'm not sure what could be causing it. I just wanted to pop in and tell you that I am looking into it but don't know when I'll be able to find a solution, it's an extremely busy launch period and there's only one tech guy on our team (me). Please bear with us!
My first recommendation would be to update / reinstall / verify you're using the right video drivers. That would be the most likely explanation.

Thanks for your help, I realize you're very busy with everything thats going on. I've tried reinstalling and that didn't help unfortunately. Like the original poster, I'm also running on an older laptop, so the drivers could be the issue. How can I check if my drivers are incorrect/out of date?

I've found the solution!
I had exactly the same problem, but what was interesting is, that I'm using the same ATI Xpress 1100. Checking my stdout.txt, I've noticed, that we were using the same opengl version. After monstrously long and complex search, I've managed to find newest drivers here :

Though it was for some reason impossible to install directly, and I had to use this application with it :

Now everything works great, and I'm enjoying the FTL game to it's fullest ^^
Hope it'll help in your case too!
Adam.
