As greay observed in an earlier post, there is currently a thread on the Godus Wars Technical Support boards (on Steam, the officially supported channel) where 5 users, over the course of 3 weeks, report a game-breaking bug in the Godus Wars GUI.
In order to play a battle in Godus Wars, you have to select the territory on the map then click the 'unlock' button that pops up. These users report that for the very first map of the first continent, this button pops up behind other graphics on the screen and cannot be clicked, rendering the whole game unplayable.
I was curious because I did not encounter this problem during my playthrough, so I loaded up Godus Wars to take a look. The first thing I noticed (I don't know if this is new or if I just didn't spot it before) is that the text resolution in the pop-up boxes is shit. As you can see in this screenshot, the text "This land is not joined to an unlocked land" in the central blue box is incredibly blurry.
I was not able to reproduce the problem immediately. The users reported that the 'unlock' graphic was hidden behind the left-hand deity banner. I tried each of the other deities, in case the graphic changes in a meaningful way. This was not the problem. Then I tried full-screen vs. windowed. No luck. Then I messed with the resolutions. Bingo.
This problem occurs when the screen resolution is set to 1440 x 900.
This troubleshooting took me all of 5 minutes. How long did it take 22Cans to solve this problem, or even thank their paying customers for reporting it? Three weeks and counting, as they are ignoring the thread.
