Greetings all Armok Children,

I would like to ask if something is a bug, a feature or I just don't know how to set it up.
While playing vanilla 0.40.24 on Windows7 (only with Therapist) I've got an issue with announcements.

After year or two they starts to disappear.
When I look to see what happens while I was playing with Therapist, after pressing A I usually get one page of announcement only. And sometimes its only two lines.

Similar issue regarding R reports.
Some older shows only "No recent announcements".

Thank you all in advance
Leon

Not a bug, a feature.
The game periodically clears out the announcements and reports screens.

If you want to check older announcements, there is a way. Though I'm not sure if this works with vanilla, but If you have LNP and want to check older announcements/ battle logs, open up the dwarf fortress folder and look for the gamelog.txt file.

gamelog.txt exists in vanilla.
It is located in the same folder as the exe (only after the game writes something to it though).
Opens in your favourite text editor.
The file might get large after several forts and may cause cheap text editors to struggle.

The game appears to show a fixed-sized chunk of latest events from the game log, and combat reports and announcements share the same space. In my current fort where there are lots of combat reports coming in constantly the announcement log is only about one or two lines long.
