v4 GUI issues

Many of the windows are no longer full height.
Noticed this for:
-fleet window
-inventory (suriously annoying only having 2 lines of items visible, instead of the 5 i had before)
-shuttles

    Yes, just noticed that. Don't like...

    What platform are you using?

    Android here, haven checked iOS yet.
  • It's all messed up on facebook too
  • Well since updating I now can't launch the game it just sits on the Disruptor Beam title card and never loads, forced stops and restarts all to no avail.
  • i'm sure these are the " • Improved widescreen support" changes.
  • Finally got it... took forever to load and Sweet Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick! The UI is a disaster.

    I'm told this is not a bug, but is WAI (working as intended), as part of the changes to better support a greater variety of resolutions.

    HAHA, what? That's insane. It looks bad.

    My yellow circle indicator on the Galaxy Map icon is cut off on the right-hand side to the point that the number is almost flush with the right-hand side.

    Is that working as intended as well?

    I think this is pretty common to have UI distortions when trying to use a single library of assets to work on all devices with varying resolutions/dpi. The solution here is two allow us to switch from having the old UI and the new UI. Give us the opportunity to find the best solution for our devices.

    If it's working as intended then DB has just buggered the game for Android. Do I get refund for a visually annoying and near unplayable game?
  • Has DB even tested this on different devices and platforms???

    Of course not.

    It looks like the character images in the left pane got smaller too.

    After (notice the feet in relation to the "upgrade" button):

    If it makes the experience worse, is it really supporting existing platforms better?

    Indeed! DB's motto is if it's not broken, break it.

    That's my joke to counter your joke. Because you have to be joking.

    Seriously. Have you looked at screens like the Inventory section, or others that have panels within panels? It's garbage and we have less visible area than before. This is not "WAI". There's far too much dead space now.

    So... that "Improved widescreen support." is for Steam users and wide HD monitors, yes?

    If it is as Steam user and HD monitor user I must say it's definitely NOT for me. Not to a degree of unplayability, but I like my big buttons and not having to be closer than half meter to monitor trying to see anything, thank you...

    And it did not increased amount of stuff I can see if geometric backgrounds not counted.

    (Ninja edit: even to me this screen shot looks like it has been cropped. It’s not.)

    At least you don't have letters over portraits like we Steam users have... and it was update that supposedly was to help wide screens and fix s*** like that.

  • And then there’s this too. On an iPad. Half the space is wasted.

  • If DB wants to cater to the Steam crowd... do a bloody pc game. This is a mobile game. Don't force a square peg into a round hole.

    How how hell can a company get so much so wrong?

    Just wish they wouldn t brake things that have not been broken before, OR do a proper testing!
    But after 2 years of repeating promises to do better, i am just...... :|

    Regarding Steam: I couldn t agree more, this is a mobile game.
    How many of the Timelines User play on steam regulary? My guess < 5% .

    Mine looks like that on Android too.

    And the Fleet screen has a fair amount of wasted space at the top for no reason.
