As topic.

It's nice that I can play in windowed, but the borders kind of defeat the purpose. Is there any way to run the game borderless?

Oh, ok. Didn't know. I'm new

<t> SO when I opted in to the beta patch (Steam version) it switched the game back to the default theme for some reason. When I went to change it back, I got an "Unhandled Exception" error. Then the game sort of froze trying to load. I quit and reloaded to find it now on the Das theme and it *seems ...

Thanks guys/gals, I'll see what's what.

<t> Hi. I just picked up DW Universe on Steam (after having contemplating buying it for a long time and being put off by the price and all the expansions. Bundling it up like this got the devs one sale, at least!)<br/>

As I'm running through the tutorials, one thing immediately sticks out to ...

<t> Just an idea, since I don't know Windows 8 (I use my PC for gaming. Nobody wants Windows 8 if they're into gaming... or if they're into anything else, honestly), but I can't imagine the fundamentals are all that different:<br/>

It sounds like you haven't got the file type showing when ...

<r> Hey all.<br/>
<br/>
I'm taking another crack at learning the game (after a moderately successful attempt some six months back). I was looking for the latest beta when I also found this thread. So my question, founded in total ignorance, is quite simply... what exactly <I><s>[i]</s>are<e>[/i ...

Did you know if you select debugging mode in the options screen, you can view the info you were seeking for every regional decision via tooltip.

That really, rather obviously, ought to be in the tooltip to begin ...

Basically, it all comes down to what you want from the game. If you can tell me what do you whant, I could tell you if it has been done[:)]

Alright. Here's one thing that would sell me, I think, even though it's ...

Thanks for the info...seems to be enough new here to purchase after the first patch.

<br/>
Really?<br/>
Idk, that didn't sound like much more than minor refinements and a prettier map (which I'd noticed on my own ...

<r> As someone of... limited finances, I need help justifying purchasing this game to myself.<br/>
<br/>
I have the first Civil War game, and after some effort in figuring out its complexities, I've gotten a lot of fun out of it. The thing is, well, I still have it. I could just keep playing the ...

<t> Fair enough. I always have been the type to try and bite off more than I could chew. <br/>
<br/>
I really wish they'd actually put the tutorial in the game. The way the interface works, a lot of the things that are going on are buried, or are happening behind the scenes. It feels like there's ...

I meant no offense, I have learned quite a bit from it and am grateful. It's just that the title implies otherwise, and the comment where you explain that is on the second or third page. After all, how is a newbie to know what they should and should not be familiar with?

How very unfortunate. The "Newbie Tutorial AAR" rather rapidly stops being any such thing. Oh well. I'll just have to figure it out myself (with the help of nice people such as yourselves).

Oh, classes. See, I thought they were doing training flights or something. In which case it wouldn't make sense for guys w/o planes to get any better. Classes make more sense. Thanks, much obliged.

<r> Ok, I get that. But then, what's the point of having <I><s>[i]</s>both<e>[/i]</e></I> a Group and a General Reserve, if you can grab any pilot for a squadron from any Group Reserve? (Please forgive me if I ask stupid questions.)<br/>
<br/>
If I have 33 pilots in a squadron that's training ...

EDIT: accidental post

<r> Thanks Alfred! I tested it out, and once I had one of these squadrons above 25, the 2nd click asked if I wanted to send to General Reserve like it's supposed to. <br/>
<br/>
(When Sardaukar says to "<B><s>[b]</s>- remember to populate air units with pilots, fill them up with "Get Pilot", set ...

<t> Um. Sorry, I still don't think you understood. I know what the withdrawal date is. I'm talking about the very first turn here, so no withdrawal dates have passed. I realize my post was long. If you don't want to read the whole thing it's cool. I just can't summarize it any better than I already ...

Thanks, but no, that's not it. Even when the squadron has more than enough pilots it happens, and like I said it only seems to happen with squadrons that are due to be withdrawn.

(I appreciate the encouragement. I need it!)
