I'm honored if the icon I edited is the one they ended up using :)
All I did was crop one of the official wallpapers and do some minor editing, so it isn't anything too impressive.

I have one issue though, I think they shrunk the size for use in steam, and then steam uses the smaller resolution for the desktop shortcut causing it to be pixelated.

Yep, I hope they patch it to the higher res version.

Yes, high res. and bigger one. If you make the desktop icons from right click>view>large icons, you'll see that other games' icons are just full size but RO2 icon is half of them.

Yeah I just checked, most games are 64x64 or higher and none go above 256x256 (the one I provided is at that).

For clarification, I was mimicking the BC2 shortcut but withheld the black vignetting. I tried it but you can't beat clean lines sometimes.

Nice job on the icon! I used yours once I saw how low res the Desktop Icon bundled with the game was.

Cheers, mate!

My Steam preload of RO2 didn't create any short cuts for RO2.. Any idea how I find out what the steam link is so I can turn this into a shortcut?

In steam you just right click on the game in your library tab, there should be an option to create a desktop shortcut. Once you have that you can follow the directions in the first post of this thread.

Heh, I didn't think to look there, I was digging through all the steam/game files trying to find the game exe. TY
