Client rewrite : please support 4K resolution

[Ardennesss]

Loftar is probably still using some large, old, 4:3 monitor, probably not even HD one. Devs would not have anything to test it on.

I would not mind at all shooing some Benjamin's under a table to one of the custom client guys for UI scaling. If that's something they can do or not is a different story I guess.

I spoke with Ardenne's about it, he told me alot of stuff is handled server side with fixed coordinates and sizes, so it would be impossible to properly implement scaling and resizing in most cases.

He clearly does not know what he is talking about.
We can assume that the screen is 1920*1080 pixels and then just scale everything in UI and get satiable results. Simple as that. Some small textures being rescaled to larger ones might be an issue if you have a large screen, but that has nothing to do with fixed coordinates and sizes or server.

wow, fucking 4k for haven when we barely have optimization. i assume you think the CSI enhance enhance enhance thing is real too lol.

If you read my OP, you will chck that i am using 4K screens, not just for haven, but for all kind of programs and games, and cba downgrade the resolution every time i want to play.

No i don't assume the CSI enhance enhance enhance thing is real, too.

Tbh I use a 42" 4k screen as my main screen and 2 smaller 4k screens in portrait mode to either side. [][ ][] Kinda like that.

The UI scaling isn't that bad when the screen itself is larger I can map most of everything in the UI to a keyboard shortcut anyway I would rarely mouse over to click a button.


I also don't agree that the UI should be outsourced.

Its also extremely difficult to self motivate oneself to perform an undesirable task. I suggest that Loftar eat more Will Fep foods until he has enough to complete the task :3

You should be able to set up profiles or some other configurations so you can just launch with a single action, and your software will take care of the rest. Nobody teaches this stuff anymore when they teach computing skills. (Doesn't help Microsoft makes it difficult in Windows... hide everything behind multiple layers so users don't break their computers and call our tech support!!)

There are indeed some programs that set up profiles, NVIDIA or other third parties, and also programs to save the desktop icons positions.
But the real problem is, when playing Haven, i usually do other things in the background, and downgrading resolution / modifying dpi scaling is not an appropriate solution since it affects everything running on that screen.

Pay money to have strangers work on Haven? You are tripping.

Then pay someone you know. Or do it yourself. Dosn't matter, just get it done.

The client is the thing your customers interact with, in case its usability turns to shit through improvements in technology... you should act. Quickly.

Look at people who post forums, all are quite old accounts. Time of games like HnH is over, and only ones playing it are people looking for nostalgia or something.
Modern gamers want fast action games likes fortnight and counter strike.

I know jack about coding but I feel that pain of knowing that there's a huge task I should be dealing with but I really don't want to start it and suffer along through it even if it means better results later.
I do agree with the older post stating that the is a driving force here. As for the modern gamer wanting action...
That's not a "modern gamer" thing per se. And what exactly is a modern gamer? It's more relevant to say a larger demographic of gamers love fast paced action stuff. I can agree with that though who knows what the actual percentages are.
