Windows Phone playing 01/07/2018 09:17 PM CST
Hello all, I use my Nokia Lumia windows phone to play GS4, it plays fine actually, only a couple issues. Firstly the char sheet does not print any text at all, only a big black space, and I cannot get the skills goal to work. I know it isn't designed for WP, but I feel it would boost popularity, revenue, and overall player base if it were somehow made compatible. Just a thought. If anyone knows a workaround for my issues please get back to me.

Do you have access to a computer that you can connect to periodically? If you do, you might try a remote connection type software, like TeamViewer to connect to a computer, log in and train, then go back to your normal experience.

Something like that might serve until a better user interface that is a responsive design is created.

Why yes I do Doug. Thank you for your quick reply, I thought there might have been a WP/Mobile FE already, and I just missed it. Anywho, just throwing that idea out there for development purposes. Hunt well fellow players.

Not seeing that happening.

The interesting thing is that a responsive design to the interface would work (better) on any and all devices. Because. . . responsive.

Developers by and large are finished trying to create desktop / tablet / phone interfaces these days. And the argument about labels got old to the new kids on the block some time agone.

Plus room descriptions that were not forced to remain on the screen so that you have no playing space on the screen. :(

well, the entire web FE needs to be scrapped and redone, not just for any specific phone.

Old-school, I know, but: rather than the 'goals' command, have you tried going to a town Inn and using the 'check in' command?
This uses the four-column (skill #, skill name, skill #, skill name) format, where you type in the skill # and number of ranks to learn or unlearn....
