Glad to see this supports multi-mon well. I am a KS backer as well, and was looking to do the DR. What were the issues that you found to mark both grades down to a B. Personally, in an RPG I like having the UI windows on the outside monitors. This lets me keep them open while I'm playing, and not in my way.

WS: unsupported res's.
TH: HUD/UI not centered... and stretched logo on the main menu (eek!).

I respectfully disagree with the WSGF policy of counting a spanned HUD as a blemish or not, based solely on game genre. But I'm also a supporter of leniency towards TH nano-blemishes...
So I'll just confine myself to describing what I see, and let others do the fine-tuning :wave:

For the record, I prefer closed unused tabs. A tidy, empty game screen, for max focus and immersion. YMMV (Your Mess Makes me Vomit) :ugeek:

Thanks for the clarification. Eek! indeed. I think the Silver is fine on this. Let's people know there is something to look at in the support. Had the HUD been customizable, that would have been better.

Would you believe it, quite a few things have changed in almost three years of Early Access:

- 1280x720 is now supported (minimum resolution: 1024x720)
- UI Scale can be adjusted through a slider and further customized in options.txt
- The map window is always centered. Sadly the minimap can't be attached to the central bar anymore.
- There's an intro FMV and loading screens, which are Vert- beyond 16:9.
- The Devotion star map is Hor+... but arranged vertically for the most part. Lots of grabbing/pulling/zooming required at any aspect ratio.

The game still rocks my +5% Chaos resist socks though.
