Graphics Improvements

Post by sMartins »

Will we ever see some basic graphics improvements like a proper borderless window or even fullscreen, but most of all a scalable UI options...at 1080p it's very hard to read anything ( maybe i'm getting old ).
And as someone said in another post, adding some major options of customs clients would be awesome....to encourage the use of the default one....without ruining the gameplay.
I like to use the original client cause it's part of the magic feeling of this game, but more options for the map and stuff like that would be very appreciated (simple as such be able to resize it). Thks, Cheers

P.S. Isn't a pain for you at 1080p right now?

you can't improve perfection /thread
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

I think jorb and loftar use something like this so they cant really design for 4k or full hd screens.

Yeah i haven't thought at resolutions over full HD....i guess at 2k ( starting to be a quite common res) this game is almost unplayble.
I'll wait for a developers answer about. Thx

Higher resolutions arent the only issue.
There are some displays on the markets that have more pixels on 1x1cm area than the "standard" is.
Most programs have their windows, texts, images etc. fixed to pixel size.
And when there is much more pixels in the same area as usually, stuff looks really small.
This can be compensated by OS or 3rd party programs that scale these things to bigger size. But then they will look really shitty. For example if you have 100x100 pixel image and you scale it to 350x350 pixels. It looks awful.

Are you saying that the current UI is so low resolution quality that is impossible to resize it without having a shitty appearence, if not redoing all the interface at an higher resolution texture? ( and if the case, that is an hard job ) ( sorry my english, i don't mean to be rude)

Current UI consists of drawn images. Scaling them up would look bad.

This is a problem, specially in the next years when even higher resolutions will come...1080p already is not the best resolution to play this game, after 1 or 2 hours i get blind....
I guess if there is a fan with good graphic design skills, that is able to redo the interface as it is but higher res. will be awesome.
P.S. Btw actually zooming in game is not that bad, only at max is pretty bad.
