On the edge to buy, some questions

Post by Brazouck »

Hi !

Can we rebind hotkeys ? I have an azerty keyboard and it is hard to use WASD keys, and Slitherine games (BA1 & 2, sanctus reach....) don't allow rebinding.
Can we play windowed mode ?

Thanks !

There is limited key-binding. Because it was so limited we removed it from the UI, but you can rebind some keys (WASD in particular) by editing the options file, which is a text file. (Which you will find in /Documents/My Games/FieldOfGlory2).
Can we play windowed mode ?
There is no standard Windows windowed mode. The windowed mode in the game just sets the game to run in a window at the specified resolution (which is useful for various reasons) but it is not a standard Windows window that you can move about etc. You can ALT-TAB in and out of the game.

Might be worth noting here that the game works great with the Steam controller, even with just the defaults. But you can easily program it any way that suits you.

I am definitely going to buy this but have been waffling because I plan on replacing my Win 7 system with a Win 10 system early in the new year and didn't want to have to reinstall FOG 2. How much trouble is it to reinstall and if I bought it now would I have to uninstall it from the Win 7 system before reinstalling on my new system? Also I see there is an expansion, Immortal Fire. What is the price of that as I might as well buy it at the same time. Thanks.

Will take about 3 minutes.
and if I bought it now would I have to uninstall it from the Win 7 system before reinstalling on my new system?
Not sure what the EULA says, but physically no. In any case uninstalling it from the old computer would take approximately 1 minute.
Also I see there is an expansion, Immortal Fire. What is the price of that as I might as well buy it at the same time.
The price has not yet been announced.

its on them to decide but expect double digit USD, not more than 20 USD

my personal guess is 19.99
