Haven't looked at it enough yet, but on my 4k monitor, things still looked a little small and blurry in a number of cases.  Maybe there is a setting I haven't explored yet, but those were the types of issues I had with the prior version so hoping it doesn't turn out to be a big deal.

Thanks for the info.  Turns out there are UI scaling options in the game so those worked for me.

Erik has a recent (January) thread about the fonts and UI.

Thanks for all the helpful tips guys.  My rig is just slightly inferior to devoncop's setup so I think I should be able to run this game fine. 

Now I need to run to Target and get me some STEAM cards.  LOL!

Barely runs on my gaming computer.... :(
It seems that as long as your specs are okay then it is related to Windows 11 or playing on those high falutin  4K/ Widescreen monitors that some of you techies love !
None of this for me unfortunately. I am always on the low-end because i can't afford the latest tech. The game even messed up my graphic card (greyed out) and just had to update it to make it run properly again...my laptop has an AMD Ryzen 7 Radeon card, guess it's not enough to run the game. A shame cos i won't be able to buy anything new before the next 5 years i guess...

Have fun with it guys, see ya in 5 years.

Don't give up so easily. I bet you can get around it.

Just finished downloading. Now I have DW2 and TW Warhammer 3 waiting for me to finish Shadow Empire, which just got updated again!

running fine on my rig but I'm playing on a small circular galaxy with only 200 planets so we'll see what happens when space starts filling up with ships from every race.

The tech support forums (both official/steam) have been very active with various issues being reported, seems most appear to be tech related.  Not unique with new releases and appears they did release a manual hotfix to start tackling them.

According to the Matrix forum, the ETA on the hotfix will be in about 3-4 hours.  Apparently, they pulled the hotfix, and will be reissuing it as "a proper update".

OK So I am a glutton for punishment on games and went ahead and bought.
Its been years since I played DW1 - Any suggestions where to start?
FYI I fired up DW2 - started a game clicked on some things and then lost morale and decided to quit since I was hopelessly confused- If I recall thats how I ended up playing/leaving DW1 as well.

Someone over on the MG forums has written a guide for New Users.  Looks like its getting good reviews, so maybe start with that. (that's what I'm going to do when I get some time to play).
