Re: gameplay: to hard-code or to not hard-code, that is the question

SeanCJ, you are probably overestimating how much control the config files give you. It's basically a bunch of numbers that set some gameplay parameters and determine how things are displayed. You can only do trivial stuff like changing the rifle damage from 5 to 6 or making the Dretch appear upside ...

Re: Menus aren't really usable on new windows installation

We've had one other report of misbehavior while using the scaling setting. However, on my machine Unvanquished behaves fine if I set 150% scaling. So it is hard to fix the bug while no developer can reproduce the issue

Re: Menus aren't really usable on new windows installation
