Moving the Trace Tracker

Postby DarkWolff » Wed Jan 11, 2012 4:25 pm

Is there a way to move the track tracker away from the bottom right of the screen?

So I've tried out the demo for this game, and I really enjoyed it; going to pick up the full version really soon. The only thing that bugged me is the location of the trace tracker in the bottom right corner of the screen. Since most of the main action is on the left/upper left of the screen, I find myself wasting valuable time constantly checking the tracker.

Trying to click on it to move it doesn't work. I like using a high resolution while playing as it allows me to have the mission email open while working on it, so while I could drop my resolution, it would not be an ideal solution.

If it makes you feel any better, that trace tracker becomes obsolete soon enough.

Obsolete? I play the entire game using Trace Tracker v2.

Fine, not obsolete, but it's not that useful once you have that visualizer thingamabob.

That is good to know. :) I would still like to be able to refer to it without looking away from the main action. Any ideas?

Don't look at it, just listen to the beeps?

Couldn't have said it better myself, I just listen to the beeps, and I don't believe I have ever used the visualizer, the beeps is where it is at.
