Re: Why the WinXP user interface??

Also the argument is not about functionality, but about being up to date. Fine if you want absolute minimalist, but even Windows has improved its visual interface. A lot of people will look at the pre-Windows XP era interface and think twice before buying this game. It does not matter how good it i...

Re: Why the WinXP user interface??

I really like the UI of all this series of games including SAI and RJW. The minimalist UI is perfect for these games and nothing more is needed in terms of chrome IMO. I'm all in favor of a minimalist UI -- in fact, I'd say that a great UI would by definition be minimalist: it provides only what is...

Re: Why the WinXP user interface??

But dissing a UI for how it looks and not how it works shows a dim understanding of what a UI job is. Sorry, but this is the way I see things. You might want to read OP more carefully. Your comment shows a dim understanding of what I actually said: " I vehemently disagree with anyone who says ...

Why the WinXP user interface??

The single biggest obstacle to my purchasing and playing this game is the Windows XP-style user interface. I have to ask -- in 2023, how has this game franchise not moved beyond this? I really wish the devs had been able to follow the example of Command: Modern Operations. The older iteration of the...

RE: THANK YOU for improving the GUI so much

@Tanaka - it was worth a try [:)] (coming from someone who thinks WitW is a superb, highly underrated game)

Kudos to Pavel -- I hope he feels his months of hard work was justified -- it's clear I'm not the only one who appreciates how much his efforts have improved WitE2!

<r> <br/> Fascinating webpage - thanks for the reference!<br/> <br/> My suggestion would be to replace this as your mod's Pz IVD photo, because it doesn't match the game's definition for the model, i.e., the "DEVICE" information in my screenshot specifies the KwK37 L/24 gun, but the photo shows a mo...

RE: WAR IN THE EAST2 IMAGE LIBRARY - VER. 1.0

<r> I think I found a photo error - ? The photo for the Pz IVD sure looks like the IVF2, with the longer KwK40 L/43 gun. That's not the short L/24 gun unless I'm greatly mistaken.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/32780/7B1339786C42438780048568B0391EAC.jpg">...

THANK YOU for improving the GUI so much

<t> I know there are a few recent appreciation threads, but I did want to give the WitE2 dev team a true THANK YOU, specifically, for dramatically improving the user interface for those of us using 1440p / high DPI setting monitors. The improvement is truly night and day from where the game was at l...

RE: New Test Hotfix for 4k / High DPI issues

Thanks for the explanation. "Big and sharp" would be very much appreciated. Even with "Zoomit" the eyestrain for me at 1440p or 1080p is considerable.

RE: New Test Hotfix for 4k / High DPI issues

<t> Can I just clarify -- for "Change High DPI settings" in the .exe -- we are now being told to set High DPI Scaling Override to "System" (or System Enhanced) and NOT "Application"? Previously the directions were to set to "Application," correct -- but now this has been changed.<br/> <br/> EDIT/UPD...

RE: New Test Hotfix for 4k / High DPI issues

Sorry, guess I'm a little confused. Doesn't that mean that when 1.00.02 goes live and I update WitE2, the DPI-fix .exe will get overwritten by the 'default' .exe for 1.00.02?

Will this hotfix be included in the first update? It's not mentioned in the announcement of the 01.00.02 Beta - ?
