I tried to sync from inside the game on the Vita, but I also got an unknown error. Haven't tried it any other way yet because I was on the train. I wonder if it can merge the save data of both consoles since I used file 1 inside the game for both of them.

*edit

it's a known issue:

I'm in the same position as OP and I have a few additional questions:

  • Are there different versions and if so are there versions better avoided? I know there is a 3G version and a none 3G version, but what I mean is 'older' and 'newer' versions.
  • What's a decent size memory card?

I know, you do not have Helvetica neue on you pc and in the css Arial is defined as the second font, so you see it in Arial. The choice for Helvetica neue is just wrong because it's a well known fact amongst front-end developers that it renders like shit in browsers on windows machines.

On the contrary I think a lot of designers and frontend developers use the stack helvetica neue, arial since in almost all cases Windows people don't have Helvetica Neue. And if they do, they are probably in the design business and have gone and turned on ClearType and tuned it right?

The reason why I went with font smoothing is because I felt like the white text on dark background's was really harsh and tiring to read over a long period of time. Most people have reacted positively to it.

That being said, I feel your pain if you are not seeing things as you would like. Will probably keep tweaking things for ever and try and make as many people happy overall as possible. Options would be nice, and its something I am looking into. For now you could use something like Stylebot in chrome to change it to Arial with no smooth.

I even made a simple style snippet that you can install.

I'm a designer/ front-end developer myself and I wouldn't be able to see how fonts render "by default" if I turn on clear type. I know it's the most frustrating job making sites look good on all the different OS and browsers, I deal with it every day. My  philosphy is make it look as good as possible on optimal systems without making it look shitty on lesser.
 
Thanks for the stylebot snippet I'll look into it :)

@sjoerdth: That's odd. Mine looks fine. Could be something on your end but who knows. This is mine on win7/chrome.  
 
May wanna go post in this thread

I'm also not a big fan of the font, I don't now if it's the way the browser or Windows renders Helvetica Neue but it looks absolutely awful in browsers. More and more sites seem to use it. 
My problem with it is that it seems like everything is bold and a lot of the negative space fills up making the text more difficult to read, see screenshot.

I must say I think all this terran is OP/IMBA talk often times sound as whiney bullshit, but recently I played a game where I was on 4 base including 2 gold, and my terran opponent was on 2 base. Het tried to expand to a gold base 2 times, but I didn't want to give him a chance to let him back into the game so I denied both times after maybe 0.5/1 minute after he had taken the expo and in the end I kicked his ass. While watching the replay I was  surprised to notice I had about 20 drones more than he had scv's, but the short time he mined the gold using maybe 6 mules his mineral income was equal to mine. 
 
Now I'm just an avarage plat league player and my probe saturation was far from optimal, but still it seemed kinda weird.

I must say I've never had the feeling I lost or won because of (bad) luck, when I watch a replay of my own or somebody's elses match, it's often very clear why things went the way they did.

" @Winternet said:

" @Ben_H: That's actually quite bad. Jinro says that the fact he heard the commentators didn't help, but still, it's a breach. They should be more careful.  "
It also doesn't help that the internet is blowing things out of proportions. Even with the commentators, he still didn't wall off for the 6 pool and didn't change the result. Course this is a problem that GOM needs to solve, since other players probably have benefited from this at some point in previous series. "
He could mentally prepare himself for what was probably coming and that's half the solution for most cheeses (at my lvl anways :) ), still if Idra had taken out the marine, which was possible, he could have won.

 Ro8 had some entertaining matches but both series were a bit disappointing.
