--- August 2012 --- 1) Fixed bug with displaying wrong helper page after loading a savegame. 2) A little bit changes in the speed and the nature of the movement for platoons on the operational phase. 3) The new format for patches and updates, installed directly from archive and not requiring a pre-extraction (for lazy guys ). 4) Enabled option 6.12 leads to a reduction of tactical interface, not just icons for big resolutions and monitors . http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8772/shot201206221622150000.jpg5) While paused, still showing the game time. 6) The apparent target are shown for all selected units (rather than one as before). 7) Highlight for the selected units and squads updated without delay.

Greetings from These United States Of America.
Very good news on the U.I. changes. I've stated it on the Matrix forum that this is probably my favorite game I've ever played, and believe me I have bought a ton of games. Great job.
I'd sure like to see more control for the infantry in the future for things such as Crawl, Take Cover (lie down in their current local), Dash etc.
Keep up the good work and I'm am telling everyone I know about your game.

Excellent news about the interface! Thanks! By the way, could I make a suggestion? Would it be possible to implement an option that would allow the orders to stay selected like it was in OP:K43? I've noticed that when I issue an order to a unit and then switch to another one, order buttons are cleared and I have to select the order again. Also, it would be really, really great if the orders panel could remain visible even when no unit is currently selected.

Also, it would be really, really great if the orders panel could remain visible even when no unit is currently selected. If you re-select, for example, the Move order button, you should then see that all of your Move order options (formation, speed, use cover, etc.) are still selected as per the previous move command. It is just the basic selection that is cleared (Move vs. Attack, etc.) I like the change because I had lost count of the number of times I set my infantry to advance in column just because I had given that order to my Panzers one click prior

That looks great Andy A couple suggestions though: 4) Enabled option 6.12 leads to a reduction of tactical interface Small UI looks pretty good, but maybe not have the minimap be too small? The button itself can be smaller but if the map is made too small it will be completely useless on a small screen as well. Best option would be able to size minimap between "smallish" and the way it is today (which is fine). 5) While paused, still showing the game time. Nice, but is it really necessary to show Time constantly in large font in the top of the screen? The way it was before the patch was fine, showing at bottom left without cluttering up the screen too much. After all you only need to check it once in a while, right? Also please make sure the Time is displayed while in deployment mode. * Is it me or is the 6X time speed much slower now? Even when the game says it's running at 6X it seems to be much slower than before the patch. Could it be speeded up on max setting to maybe 10X? * The check-marks for "Fire" "Fire at...", "Unbutton" etc should be matched by red crosses indicating being not active (where this would make sense). For instance, before the patch seeing the "bullet" icon be black meant the unit was ready to fire, now it means "cease fire"... quite a big difference and easy to overlook if not careful. Example of what I mean: I thought the old worked just as fine though once you got used to it... * Contrast seems to be too overdone now, shadows are way too dark, especially in light woods this is very noticable, shadows are completely black. Did you guys change the shaders? Mostly it looks really good, but just way too much contrast: Cheers for the June patch, loving it so far, AI seems much tougher and more coordinated attacks.

Good news indeed. Playing against the AI and armour when engages does back off if out numbered. Well done guys.

Size of minimap is reduced as well as resolution to some other special occasion for the minimap lead to glitches and the need to constantly check how it works, that is unacceptable. Nice, but is it really necessary to show Time constantly in large font in the top of the screen? The way it was before the patch was fine, showing at bottom left without cluttering up the screen too much. After all you only need to check it once in a while, right?
This solution is need to have a special "time button". * Is it me or is the 6X time speed much slower now? Even when the game says it's running at 6X it seems to be much slower than before the patch. Could it be speeded up on max setting to maybe 10X?
Now, even clear 6X is not achieved almost no one of players, any sense in 10X does not seen. After 2-3 years yes, we add 10X * Contrast seems to be too overdone now, shadows are way too dark, especially in light woods this is very noticable, shadows are completely black. Did you guys change the shaders? Mostly it looks really good, but just way too much contrast: Its normal thing for realtime computer graphics (and for any photorealistic graphics too ), if you see on dark places some time, its highlighted (To work normally need to enable the HDR setting) P.S. Please reload updated Volokonovka 42 DLCs. On your screen you have a old DLC with new patch.

Andrey, I've noticed some people have Volokonovka version 1.09. Mine is 1.06 and I think it looks the same like the one from the screenshot. Is there a patch for this DLC to bump it up to 1.09?

You can tell just from looking at the picture??? Impressive... 8) I will update it, thanks for letting me know For the future though, please let people know on these forums for instance that you have updated the DLCs as well, a simple forum sticky will do.

I have a Strategy First version. I don't think that GG will allow me to freely download something I didn't buy from them, but from competition.

We are talking about the fact that if you have already purchased the previous version of DLCs, then you can download new there for current update. For the version of the S1st I will clarify next week. But with a full-fledged publishers any agree is take a long time and hard to do.
