Frequently Asked Questions

This is a Post I made on all the UI options, people don't make threads on them but they do post questions a lot about cinematic mode accidentally being turned on. Not sure how it might be added to the FAQ.

.. Current In-game UI option descriptions

this. Any chance it can be added, Brian?

I'll see what I can do.

You should add a link to this thread there too..
https://forums.uberent.com/threads/how-to-improve-frame-rates-all-video-cards-driver-links.53165/

You should also state the reason why uber doesn't give release dates..

"The iterative development process doesn't allow developers to be able to put a specific time on a feature's completion."
They can't just say this feature will be done on this day and it will be done , It doesn't work like that!
Some things can take days or even a few weeks of work and time to develop and integrate into the programming.
Also some features maybe worked on then put on hold while a more important feature is fixed or implemented .
This can change completion times on features and it happens quite often during the development process.

added edit to last message so im bumping it ..***

That's true. A big part of that is that the game settings are so inaccessible during gameplay

Thanks for the suggestions. I've added them.

Might I suggest adding something addressing these sorts of questions to the OP? Perhaps under "Where can I purchase PA"?

Good job, btw, Brian

I can't seem to find the topic about the Key-bindings in the FAQ. It might be a nice addition.

I can't seem to find the thread.

hmmm...

I'll see what I can do.

Not sure what you're talking about?

The thread that had the keyboard-bindings, I think it was in the Backers Lounge.
C to select command, press C again to go to commander
F to select idle fabber.
A attack
R Repair
T Reclaim
Ctrl+1 to make group 1

That kind of stuff.

Or why not a full list?

http://pamatches.com/wiki/keyboard-shortcuts/

I'll add it.

Gamepedia wiki is also a good source for a full list .

Eh. The Gamepedia wiki, even though it's the official wiki, has dated and incorrect information last I checked. It's also a lot smaller than the PA Matches wiki. Gamepedia has 82 articles while the PA Matches wiki has 126 entries.

Yes. But the gamepedia wiki has keyboard shortcuts which are still to be updated on your list.

I think a "where is my game key/ key conversion" section could be useful. Also a part about how all Digital Pre-Order currently have Beta access and all Physical copies of PA are not currently available.

Also a direct link to the Section threads would be helpful at the top of the OP. To get the direct link to a post just click/copy the link by the post number. Which is next to the Like and Replay buttons.

Wha? Hm. Then these must have been swapped out during the Thanksgiving patch or something because I updated those very recently. I'll update those.

I know how to get the link, good idea. I'll add those in.

Good stuff thanks for this FAQ list Brian.

@SXX mentioned that disabling the steam overlay helps improve frame rate stutter for us running it thru steam, any chance you can put that directly (how to) into the bug/improvement thread so it doesn't require diving into the links?

I ask this because a lot of the people joining right now are steam users.
