The person that made the video was obviously doing their best to help users get started, however, he did not fully understand all of the settings. Some of the settings don't even match the manual.

The graphical user interface (GUI) is quirky and it has defeated me. The GUI is in horrible shape. The whole thing needs to be redesigned with a professional design up to modern 2026 standards. I know the developers are doing the best they can, but they have come up way short.

I am shocked that Matrix Games has allowed this flagship game (developers have stated that this is the first of several games to be released) to be released in such a condition. Matrix should provide their own developers to create a modern GUI and stop relying on amateurs to do the job!

He has a point here. I was very surprised at the lack of promotion from Matrix before release. Even on release day, the game was initially buried on some other page and not even on the first page of Matrix's store until later. Then yesterday, Matrix pings everyone on discord about a "new" tutorial video that was released back in January. While I love the game, I think Matrix REALLY let the devs down in terms of their marketing thus far. Nearly all of the help to learn the game has come from the community. Ranger Joe is doing a tutorial AAR which I'm very anxious to see him complete as I really don't know how experienced players play the game yet and I just haven't the time to dig into some of the other AARs (including RJ's other, more comprehensive GC AAR) that are far longer and time consuming. I can't for the life of me understand why Matrix hasn't commissioned an official tutorial (not the one on the game launcher, which is NOT very thorough) as I'm sure there are plenty of guys willing to do it for nothing. In fact, IIRC RJ offered to do as much but his offer wasn't taken. If this is indeed the "flagship" of an entire group of new games coming, you sure can't tell if from Matrix's support thus far.
