I admit that savegame compatibility could have been much better than it has been so far. As the 2020 resolution, I promise to do my best to make sure that old savegames will be compatible with the further 1.x engine updates.

Status: offline 		How the preview map opacity work? I have high resolution preview png file in my map folder but when I press 'Ctrl + Shift + +/-' nothing changed!. I think the preview shall be visible in main game and not in hotkey T or Q environment .

I was playing with beta version, but now it is official update, so I need to check off beta version from Steam, right?

Status: offline 		Can someone please fix the installer so it does not lock into C:/Armored Brigade as the install location?

This has been requested numerous times, and one is forced to take the risky proposition of installing to the root directory and copying files to the user's install directory.

Not seen an installer like this in the history of Matrix, so please fix.

Found my Install location without any issues .. i.e. L:\Matrix Games\Armored Brigade\

.. no user input from me whatsoever.

Cheers

[engine] Improve hill shading.
[engine] Implement the 'Rice field' terrain type.
[engine] Reset the unit engagement range settings automatically when under fire.
[engine] Halve the 'rotate' order command delay.
[graphics] Update the winter warehouse pattern.
[ui] Implement the stylized unit icon set option.
[ui] Implement the LOS tool preview and profile features.
[ui] Implement the map editor preview image opacity +/- hotkeys.

Very strange, I also installed both Steam and Matrix AB in D drive, and they are all working properly...

Yes, the build 1.051 adds more features to the build 1.049 that was the Steam beta.

Considering the flawless implementation of custom databases, I will live with this and succumb to the desires of the machine.

Do you have this forced C:/Armored Brigade installation occurring on one of your systems, or have you tried installing it on a different system?

Greate game. Good continuation.

Status: offline 		I love the new LOS preview tool, but for those us playing with rather powerful PC's, could you give us the option of making it even more high-resolution?

Right now it seems to show a dot for every 5th grid square and, especially for the smaller scenarios, I'd like to have the option to have a dot right down to 1 for every grid square.

That would just about remove the need to ever click to see LOS. I realize it's more computationally intensive, but I'm running a 5.2ghz i9-9900KS and I think it can handle it ;)

I guess the resolution could be adjustable. On the largest map size, how long does the green loading bar stay on screen when you click for the high resolution LOS?

Less than a second as far as I can recall. I play on a few different machines. The main one has a 4.8ghz 6700K + RTX2080ti and everything is instant.
