Photon IS NOT READY.
The human interface sections of the user (a human, in the intended case) interface look as if they are designed by 2nd rate mobile/tablet designers.
It is laggy as hell compared to the original UI, and provides LESS information yet takes up MORE SPACE, and with less options for customization.
The key issues continue to be ignored (usability, more clicks to do basic things, responsiveness) and the simple “move the box a few pixels to the left so the text doesn’t clip” are half assed in a way that adjusting the UI scale breaks things again. Removing functionality and replacing it with additional clutter hidden behind separate layers of menus is not an improvement. It isn’t worthy of being called an alternative – it is an objectively worse UI in key aspects, from information provided to the player, to the amount of effort the player needs to put in (clicks, menus, etc.) to perform the same tasks through the UI.
The original UI needs to remain until all of these key, major issues get resolved.
