Change resolution?

Postby Siesh » Tue Feb 23, 2016 2:58 pm

hi to everyone, i'm just arrived on this game (registered yesterday night) and i was trying to play but i can't, because i can't seee anything, all it's too small...

i've a 2880x1800 screen resolution and the game in its standard resolution is so small i can't even see the character!!

I guess you could type
:cam bad
in the console and you then have more flexibility over zooming in and out with the mouse wheel, but that likely won't help if you still can't see the menus. Hopefully someone else can assist you more.

the screenshot is in the attachment (i leaved a part of my screen with a folder for the scale)

if i enlarge the window to fullscreen the game will remain at the same resolution in the center of the screen

Unless it breaks at higher resolutions, the scroll wheel allows you to zoom in and out; the min and max zoom should be dependent on your resolution to ensure you always have roughly the same view size. (In practice, I've noticed this causing a sudden jump in zoom level when you start to zoom in/out if you've just changed resolution.) Is everything still tiny if you zoom in after maximizing the window?

Currently the client is not catered towards 3k or higher resolutions.
You could try reducing the resolution in Windows to 1920 x something. Might be a bit annoying to change the resolution each time but atm that's the only way.

before the change of resolution to my pc the game stayed (as i told in my previous post) in a little scale even at fullscreen, resulting in a little square in the mid of the screen surrounded by black, with all the boxes really too little and the texts unreadable, the zoom worked for seeing the character and try to do something but i wasn't able to read anything without losing diopters and when i opened an in-game window (like the map or the equipment) it occupied all the little game screen....

so i've changed the resolution of my pc to 1920x1200 the result is that i'm seeing at fullscreen everything now (not a sqaure with the black parts around it) and the texts are intellegible without losing my eyes :P tnx for the help

Haven and hearth is not meant to be played by rich people that can afford 4k screens.
Only for poor. Thats why majority of players are from russia.

Generally speaking, I can't believe Haven is the only game with this problem. Tons of game use picture-based UIs, don't they?

i'm not rich, i bought this pc 4 years ago when i had a job... i think this is why i'm here playing this game now xD

jokes apart, now i'm searching a batch command for change the screen resolution when i start the game in order to avoid changing it every time i want to play... anyone knows?
