Choose a layout for your device and keep important information visible.
Use the same account carefully
Official help supports using the same account on another browser, phone or tablet. Confirm that you have signed into the intended UK account rather than assuming a newly opened app is showing the same server and progress. Before changing devices or clearing local data, make sure you know your account login and recovery details.
TKB recommendation: avoid making overlapping configuration changes in multiple windows. If one screen appears stale after an action elsewhere, refresh the relevant view before repeating a purchase or configuration action. A delayed display is not proof that the first action failed.
Choose the workspace
The native window design gives the map more space and places lists and other panels in movable, resizable windows. A dark variation is available. The main dispatch centre determines the map area displayed when opening the game and can be chosen in dispatch-centre settings.
TKB recommendation: organise the interface around what you actually do. On desktop, keep the mission list and relevant response information visible without covering the map area you need. On a small screen, favour a readable list over trying to show every panel simultaneously. Native app and browser controls can appear in different positions; match the control’s label and purpose rather than an old screenshot.
Reduce avoidable visual load
Choose readable text size and useful contrast. Use browser zoom or device text and display controls where appropriate, then check that dispatch buttons remain accessible. Hide panels and map layers you are not currently using. Do not interpret a hidden layer as deleted content.
For colour differences, use labels, silhouettes and numeric status information as additional cues. A red and green theme can still be usable when the meaning is also written. If flashing graphics are distracting, select calmer artwork. These are accessibility recommendations, not a claim that every native interface element supports every assistive technology.
Settings to change deliberately
Take a screenshot or short note of a setting before changing it. Separate visual settings from gameplay settings: a dark theme affects presentation, whereas mission speed, range and mission-development options affect the work you receive or how it is presented. Change one meaningful setting at a time when diagnosing an issue.
An expanded generation range can bring more distant POIs into eligibility, but it can also lead to longer response journeys. A larger vehicle search distance can reveal remote resources, but those resources may not be practical first choices. Avoid treating the largest value as automatically the best value.
Keep mobile sessions manageable
TKB recommendation: use short sessions to handle transport requests, check courses and complete a manageable group of missions. Save broad configuration changes for a screen where you can inspect the result comfortably. Before leaving, review any commitments likely to hold up alliance members. The best layout is one that makes mistakes less likely, not one that resembles another player’s elaborate dashboard.
