EVE General Discussion

this games ui is too unforgiving of low res monitors.

ok i play on a 50 inch 1366x768 TV

my main issues as labeled in the picture is"
1. There is no option to "Scale Down" the UI, there is just not enough free space for me to not feel clustered.
Everything is always in the way to the point of me having to sacrifice things i want on my UI to make it comfortable

2. When I am in a combat ship with my fittings, they are so big they overlap my inventory, and i cant see my inventory very well and have to squish it up against the wall of my ui.
(meaning i have to tetris things all over to get it to be comfortable)

3. I wish i could scale down this CPU and fitting module there is no need for it to take up this much space on my screen.
i need a better window of view it would help also because i could fit more of my chat/inventory there.

4. Once again I cant scale down my chat and I almost have to have it extend it to the top of my screen just to keep an eye on the local channel, why can't the char portraits be smaller? its quite bulky and i can hardly fit more than 4 lines of talking in chat when I want to see the rest of my ui on the left of the screen. (lowest chat size setting enabled too)

5. once again I wish I could scale this information down so its not such a nuisance having it up.

I'm not upset or anything I am just stating for me, having to pay a monthly subscription, the ui sure isn't very flexible.
I am not gonna go buy another monitor so I can play this game that I have to pay for monthly, more comfortably.
I play all my other games just fine because you can scale down the UI, this has been an issue for so long, its the reason I stopped playing in 2013, I came back to see if any improvements have been made (cause I heard of the new expansion launch) and still there is no better optimization for UI scaling on low res monitors. So once again, I will not be resubbing after my first month is done because the ui is just too clustered on my screen its uncomfortable.

just cause you people wont acknowledge them doesn't mean they aren't out there using this game!
just sayin ccp

I was halfway being genuine, what is the res you're trying to play at?

My matrox mystique can handle this with no problems at all. Thinking about getting a Voodoo though

I have an old 1280x1024 monitor that I put EVE on while I do work on the main monitor, and the UI is perfectly fine? Just how low is your resolution?

CCP constantly diminished amount of UI options that were there to reduce impact windows have on viewspace. Those who are left with lower resolution monitors suffer. I think CCP just dont care about those people, because their amount is small.

It would help if you defined both what you mean by low res and the actual problem you're suffering from.

(See, I'm being helpful today. Don't get used to it, it won't last)

The EVE UI is bad on touchscreens because I didn't see the titan on my overview because there was a cheetos stain in the way. CCP plz fix.

Oh I used to use one of those

ESC menu, 90% UI scaling is your best bet, beyond that you're going to have to be economical with your screen real estate.

Also Incase you weren't aware, if you double click the header on any of those windows they'll collapse so all that's on the screen is that header.

Yeah personally I'd have my screen completely covered with the various windows i use, I tend to have their headers up and then open them as and when I need them.
