User Manual availability during gameplay

Post by JDW »

Can the User Manual be made available during gameplay? Or is it already available?

If it's not available, it would be a great help, since I don't have to switch between the game and a web browser very often. And with the number of upgrades available, it gets pretty annoying. It could also serve as a supplementary tutorial in addition to the basic tutorial already in the game.

It is already available in the sense that a modern computer can easily run a couple of programs (like WZ and a browser) at one time. You can usually switch between them with something like Alt-TAB.

Steam overlay works fine with warzone, as xfire too. They both have web-bros. in-game overlay.

Exactly.

Creating an in-game version of the guide would take effort and time that could be better used elsewhere. Don't get your hopes up.

Can one of you try loading that into the Steam overlay to see if it works?
