I don't play EVE for the graphics quality. I mean, the game doesn't even have sound for goodness sakes, shouldn't we add that first?

Well I just find it hard to future proof a game without support for 8k

Probably when 8k monitors cost less than $300..

Eve can run at any resolution that you can run windows in.

Ok, then I guess you share usual fate of early adopters.

I think the fixed resolutions died with rendered 3d games.

Have you even tried? I mean it worked on my 16k monitor. Maybe you bought just a cheap model?

Sorry I am referring to the textures

EVE doesn't “support” any resolutions at all. That kind of thing hasn't really been applicable since the days of tile-based isometric games.

Tile based games, no matter the perspective, are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar older than resolution independence.

They also survived long into the era where games stopped supporting specific resolutions. How well they handled it — be it by scaling or by just increasing the on-screen tile count — is a different matter.

…and since the OP was asking about textures, it matters even less: games never “supported” any specific texture size.

Yes, but you were talking about the past and you weren't correct. :p


"supported" ... no.
Were forced to use... yes.

Texture is just the modern word for the same thing.
Back then we just called them bitmaps. Sprites. Tiles.
Fixed sizes.
Good times.

But there's my language barrier, not sure how to interpret "supported" correctly.

In what way?
Games supporting specific resolutions did go away when tile-based games stopped being a thing. From there on, it was just entirely driver dependent and the game just read the system capabilities from there rather than have it hard-coded.

Yeah, no. Textures are something vastly different from resolutions and from sprites and tiles. One is a 3D mesh decoration the other is a display format and the third is a 2D graphics object.

And as for the sizes used for any of the latter, it was never a matter of “supporting” anything — it was a decision on what to use. It was the hardware that had to support it, not the game.

8k? I'm still seeing machines struggling to process game worlds with 4k tex.

Were still waiting for HD textures.... and you want 8k textures?



Sure, youll get them..right after the release of Uprising 1.9.....

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

"That wasn't applicable since tile based games."

I read that probably wrong, as if it meant that game resolution dependency
wasn't a thing anymore when these games were a thing.

And in the other part you misunderstood me.

A texture is a fancy word for a bitmap. Same for sprites, tiles, images, pictures.
Independent of what you do with it, it's an image used to display graphics.
A bitmap. A pile of bits that gets mapped onto the screen.

The c64, Amiga, NES and most other machines back then disagree
regarding hardware having to offer support for the software.
Software had to use what the hardware offered,
which were a short range of fixed resolution tiles.

It's no fun argueing with you on my mobile,
but I'm back earliest in 20min. :p

Not certain we're actually talking about computers of the same decades.

check evesearch if you think I'm cheating with edits. Just corrected two brainfarts.
