I'd also like to point out that the black bars on the login screen are purely cosmetic and a bit transparent as you can see the asteroids and bits under them.

The original widescreen option actually had a change in aspect ratio and after switching it on and off I actually found I could see more things horizontally when it was enabled, I actually gained more view of space.

I look forward to the login-from-launcher thing though. Make character select sit on what we used as the login screen today so that we can continue having these cool main screens and music :D

Not looking forward to loss of in-game login screen. 3D Animated login screen with music was part of eve since dawn of ages.
Now we going to be stuck with the soulless launcher.
Nice, I'm very excited for that. Thanks for crapping up yet another part of the experience.

I'd be happy if they slapped black bars up (reducing our view of space) to return the functionality of being able to see your mods cycle. I use the overview for almost everything important anyway (and I'm godawful at trying to decloak things, so even then being able to see stuff on screen is of limited use).

One thing I liked about jumpgate evolution was its ability to span 3 monitors, which was cool because you could angle them to make it look like a real cockpit window.

I hope I'm not putting my foot in my mouth because I'm assuming we don't have that ability in EvE, and I really wouldn't want it for a cockpit view but I think it would be amazingly convenient to have a bare minimum information and a full render of space on one screen and all your overview drone windows and anything else you want on the others.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

Way back when, i was allways a fan with the option to turn widescreen on or off. I allways had it on, & i wasnt the only one. So i was gutted when they removed this feature.

Did anyone else have this enabled & would want it brought back? Would the developers even consider bringing it back? I cant remember why it got took out. It was too long ago.

So please show your support by liking the thread!

Bring back WIDESCREEN!!!


I too, miss the widescreen!
