PC game yeah... UI scale and FoV, fullscreen mode and AA

[PocketCity]

Okay thanks for game, i love the gameplay so far but look at this:

1) no antialiasing - in-game AA is blurry as hell and does almost nothing
2) no exclusive full-screen mode, so i cant use NVIDIA DSR to force custom AA

And two more things that i found - the UI and horizontal FoV scale:

3) terrible UI scale with 16:10 resolutions
4) terrible horizontal FoV scale with 16:10 resolutions

examples
http://i.imgur.com/oyFJi2s.jpg my screen is 16:10 so i use 1920*1200 .... "thanks" for UI scaling and blurry texts and especially for horizontal FoV scale. :sleep:
http://i.imgur.com/YRgdsHE.jpg and here is 16:9 1920*1080.... soooooooo much better, crisp UI and texts!


Also texture shimmering kills my eyes (try first color theme or just look at dark textures). But i'm not sure maybe this is only on my PC?

QQ mode off :sad:

Yeah same issue. I play 1920x1200 and the UI doesn't look great.

"Terrible" UI scale? That is a little exaggerated, don't you think?

 

[PocketCity]

Nope. Look at screens in 1:1.

i agree with the OP

the UI is unfriendly, it needs more polishing and intuitive information.

simnation did a great UI as an example:

Damn, that's sexy! Original UI isn't terrible, but it isn't terrific, either.

Could you explain the issue in more detail, PocketCity? You mean the scale of the UI is not to your liking, and there's some blurring, but where? I might just not see it in your pictures because I've been looking at the game for ages, so please elaborate so we can look into this issue.

 

[PocketCity]

Erm UI itself a bit blurry in 16:10, but im more concerned about text!

Just open both screen in your browser in 100% scale and jump between tabs... Not sure if i can help more.

 

[Azirphaeli]

Took me a while to notice it, but now that I do... I'll help.

Focus mainly on the text in the white box on the bottom left. Open both images, zoom in on that spot, and swap tabs... it should be self evident.

 

[PocketCity]

Okay here we go (its about UI scale and text, not the all other things):

Please look at this screen in 100%. Right-click on image and choose view image :closedeyes:




So the solution - don't scale the UI vertically?

 

[Co_Karoliina]

Okay, thank you! I'll relate this information to the graphics team, thank you for sharing the pictures and explaining the issue!

I have also found the text just too tiny to read, and I'm not even at that high resolution.

I'm getting the same issue with the grainy textures in 16:10.

I would like to note that if you're using the force d3d9 option, the blurry text appears regardless of 16:10 or 16:9 resolution, even with a 1:1 monitor or when playing in windowed mode.

Looks perfectly normal on my 1920x1200 monitor? No blurry interface or text.

Post a proof/screenshot. Cuz i smell something... :laugh:

 

[PocketCity]

Also, just look at this

Screenshots of changing resolution in window mode, the scale of the UI also changed smaller. should the UI not be a fixed size to all background resolution changes?

The smell of your own posts I'll bet. Just opened up my game, changed resolution - No change to interface edge or text sharpness. And I should know - I have a fairly large monitor.

 

[PocketCity]

C'mon, just upload one screenshot. Is it so hard?

What resolution do you play at?
