The current "Client" app is sized too large to fit standard 1366x768 resolution screens. This is quite standard on many laptops.

The entire bottom of the client, where you "Add Time", "Add MC" etc is not accessible because they are hidden under the Windows taskbar. I am sure you developers really would want us to access these buttons to spend more money, right?


Lastly, I have no idea where this concept of a "launcher" came from in F2P games. These little launcher apps try to do too much, and launches another process later - often where you can't change in-game settings! Crysis was not setup like this, as you could change all in-game settings.

It's so annoying to pick some graphics or key bindings, and click launch only to find out your graphics, sound, etc settings are all wrong. Yes, the new "Testing Grounds" helps with that, and thanks for that.

Press alt-enter to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode. Works in the "launcher" as well.

Another thing you can try is setting your windows taskbar to autohide

Interesting. So we now have two seperate apps running for a single game. Bleh... That's my only option i guess.

Thanks!

So why don't I change the way I've used windows since Windows 95 beta, nearly 20 years, just for this single game launcher. Brilliant!

What I meant with the term "launcher" was the UI/window with your mechlab and advertisement. That thing where you can launch a match. You can use alt-enter during a match, too, where it is more useful (e.g. for screenshots or in case you forgot to set the checkbox).

Yep, I know what you were referring to with "launcher." I'll use that tip going forward, for fullscreen mode.
