No. Before the menu appears.

The Advert page.

This is an excellent example of easy-to-make UX mistakes. Having a tab named "Entities" is total developer brain. Of course I've spent enough time modding the game that I failed to catch it myself, but the average user will have no idea WTF that means. And the player is an Entity so...

Odd, I don't think I've noticed this at all. The loading screen that appears briefly before the advert screen seems to be a static version of the menu tableau, they ought to use that here if they can.

I see. I just double checked. I see the following
1. Fun Pimps logo
2. Static tableau
3. News
4. Animated tableau menu
At no point do I see the image you shared. It's not part of the game for me anymore.
On your previous question, about centering. I'm not sure what you mean by centering because it looks pretty centered to me:

If you look back to the original post, centering was referring to the settings, not game options. Game options don't have a large blank space on the right side. It's confusing because they are all options, but some are for the save (game options or sandbox options) and some are for the overall game settings (available from the main menu).
It's strange if you don't see the 7D2D splash screen before the menu. I've always seen that and still do. Maybe it only shows if you're not showing the news, but that would be a strange way of doing things. I'm using the launch options to skip the intro and news screens. Maybe if you were using those you would see it. Or maybe it's something broken in the update to 3.0 for me.

Oh, so I've been completely misunderstanding you the entire time. Pretty typical of me. The blank space on the right in the game settings, if I'm understanding you finally, is where the hover text is. That whole thing is extremely awkward and makes me want to get out of it asap.

No problem. As I said, it's confusing to know which one is being talked about. I normally try to say game options for what are now called sandbox options and settings for the settings you get at the main menu. But not everyone follows that and so it's never really all that clear. Not to mention that the main menu calls the settings "options" to further confuse people.
I do see the hover text there now that I moused over the stuff. I don't think I tried that originally and didn't see it. I suppose that makes some sense, but why use 2 different ways of displaying mouseover text?
vs.
You'd think that they'd pick one method and use it throughout instead of different methods in different locations. It would also look better, imo.
And just since I did a screenshot of it... I don't think I've ever seen a game that required a *RESTART* of the game to change the language. That is kind of dumb, imo.
Now you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. Plenty of programs/apps/games works that way as it depends on the implementation. If you were a TFP employee working on localization I would agree with you, but as an end user - no.

I have seen this quite often. Not the majority of games but it´s not uncommon. I always switch my games to english, that´s how i know. And it have been games from small single developers up to AAA games. Sometimes even needing a download.
