The first is this, did the "friends online icon" used to fade away after the chat box faded? It does not seem to go away anymore.

And what was the default setting before? Windowed (Fullscreen) or Fullscreen? Now it seems to be Windowed (Fullscreen) by default? Either way, I am getting slightly lower FPS now. Was Anti-Aliasing turned on by default before?

    That contacts online change is going to bug the hell out of me....

    I hate forced changes with no toggle options....

    Call it OCD but it will annoy me lol.

    It did used to fade. They changed that just now in Update 6. I think it's in the UI section of the patch notes.

    When they added the Windowed (Fullscreen) option, I think the default was Fullscreen. Now? I have no idea. Sorry!

    @katkat42 - I found the reference to the friend icon staying onscreen if you have a friend online in the notes. You have a great memory. I think that is a somewhat bad UI design. But at least now I know it was intended.

    From the 1.6 patch notes:
    • The friends icon will remain visible in the chat panel if you have at least one friend online.

    The friends online icon is working as they designed it to work in this patch.
    The default as always been FULLSCREEN not WINDOWED FULLSCREEN
    Anti-Aliasing turned on by default before the patch... Vert Sync was off

    ;)

    Thank you for this ^^^


    Anyone know why they would have made the Friends Online Icon stay lit up all the time now? When I am in dark places I find it to be immersion breaking in an otherwise beautiful UI.

    I'm gonna say that it's that way more for future console players. It shows you that you have a contact in the game...go hook up with them.

    My kids play PS3 online and the most annoying thing I find is that if I'm watching HULUPlus I still get the pop ups for everyone of their minecraft buddies etc. I WISH I COULD TURN THAT OFF! :)

    I am also noticing that ALT-Tabbing out of the game is not as slick as it used to be. The Windowed Fullscreen mode wants to always stay maximized up in the background. I am running Windows 7
