    Windows 10 - Version 1.5.48 - Immersive Mode and Crashes

    I really dislike the new position of the UI. On Windows, the vertical space is precious and losing a fair amount by having the controls at the bottom is poor design. I thought that I could work around the issue by turning on the immersive mode, but it does not work properly. When on, it does hide some (but not all of the icons) on the bottom, BUT the area is still active so you cannot click there which makes the option pretty pointless. My first choice would be an option to return the UI to the left and right, but if that is not possible please fix the immersive mode so that actually removes the UI elements completely.

    Thanks.

    With the new UI the screen looks even more cluttered than before. So I thought trying full immersive mode. But the screen goes from this:

    To this:

    Click image for larger version  Name:	1.5.46a.jpg Views:	0 Size:	141.9 KB ID:	198951
    As you can see the skills disappeared but that big rectangle is still showing (empty)....

    BUT......when I mouse over the empty rectangle the skills description pops!...not very handy and definately not fully immersive.

    And this is also the case when you are in a map fighting mobs.

      I know that is hilariously bad...

    I am also finding that this new version is VERY unstable. It crashes 2 out of 3 times on startup and does not seem to run for more than an hour or so without crashing. At one point, the crashes seemed to cause some other problem and I was unable to start the game at all. It always gave me an 'corrupt file' error on startup. I was able to get it working again by uninstalling and reinstalling but that is clearly not very optimal.

        I updated when they first released .48, who knows if you will be able to participate in anb or anything else without updating and, regardless of the poorly designed ui we need to know if the release is stable. Unfortunately we seem to have a lot more crashes with .48 so will gold start htis friday?

        Yeah will probably be force to update before Gold. No clue if it's gonna start this friday. With all the issues I wouldn't be surprise if it's delayed.
        Received medals from last season (was afraid they would not come with an older game version).

      I am having exact same issue, but I did not try to uninstall and reinstall the game.

        FYI, they just posted a new game update 1.5.49 that corrects the UI and thus far has proven to be more stable.

          Everything nice again! 1000THX to the team! Can we have a say next time BEFORE such changes go online? (Beta test or similar?)

            Hmm... I am not seeing any update available. Are you using the Steam version or the Windows Store version?

              I checked multiple times yesterday and uninstalled and reinstalled game from Windows store and it never updated. Thank you Tin Man for making the files for new version available.

                Strange that it doesn't work for you. The Microsoft Store immediately started the game update on request yesterday. (Win10.)

              #10
              I was able to update to 1.5.49 through Microsoft Store yesterday.

                I was still not able to upgrade as of about an hour ago. However, using the link provided by Tin Man I was able to upgrade.

                Much thanks.

                  Still have at least one shut down during startup every time I start game. Yesterday I was in midst of fighting mobs on T70, about 2 min into trial and it shut down. Lost time from event timer and got nothing else! PO'd to say the least.
