A bug with Help - Pinetree - 01-14-2017 Whenever I open the help files in-game, they open with Acrobat Reader even if it's not my default PDF reader. If you don't have Acrobat Reader installed, they won't open at all. (in-game only, they work fine when opening them in Windows) RE: A bug with Help - Warhorse - 01-15-2017 Not a bug, that's how they open, AFAIK?!

Adobe Acrobat is a bloated buggy mess these days so I've gotten rid of it. Most programs now will open with the pdf reader that is set to default. RE: A bug with Help - Warhorse - 01-15-2017 Try Sumatra, it is better, and less of a hog! RE: A bug with Help - Warhorse - 01-15-2017 I see what you're getting at, it won't use your default viewer, I missed that, sorry man! RE: A bug with Help - Ricky B - 01-15-2017 So not a bug, but not so good of a design/implementation. Although I am not sure what may have been done to trigger it to only use Reader from inside the game when the change in help files was made from the Windows Help files to pdfs.

From a user point of view they were great. |
