150% is not enough :( everything is still too small. the game is gorgeous in 4k but hard to play. We need 200+% UI scaling plz.

Also, as far as I can tell the cursur is unaffected by UI scaling... HELP ME :(

I wish they allowed us to scale some parts of the UI differently or have bigger text in the overview at least. So kinda with you on this one.Blink

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Good point. The overview and ship hud thing are the two biggies for me. My poor eyes.

I'm playing on 1080p and they changed the fonts a while ago, and now all the writing is fuzzy, as if I'm playing EVE on a resolution that's not native to my screen. Changing the UI scaling from 100% to something else, makes it worse.

The ability to change font and font sizes internally like we can with overview and colors and such would be epic imo. And yes the HUD would be nice too, dont really need much more than that imo.

You know: too many options, too many combinations.... CCP cannot handle it.

Bigger text options would rock!

Personally Id be ok with their existing settings going further haha. This wouldn't even be a 'new' feature. Just making an existing one more helpful.

Guess I'm the only one who likes the sharpness of my 4K. All of eve looks glorious including the ui. Still add my vote for ui scaling options for others though.

What size is your 4K monitor? Yes eve looks sharp and so does the Ui, but that doesn't mean it's readable haha.

For real tho... a DEV comment on this would be nice. its such a small yet big thing...

Screw me for bumping this but this is a badly needed option. Could a dev at least acknowledge it?

Agreed.

I have 1 x 4K plus 2 others at 1920x1053.

4K infinitely better but scaling at 200% for single player mode would be awesome.

Yes! I am on a curved ultrawide which blows 4k monitors out of the competition, and more UI size control would rock!

Been around since the beginning.

Why hasn't CCP responded to this? This should not be a huge deal for them to implement. They spend so much time making pretty explosions then make it hard to see them is high res and play the game properly.

It's too hard to code past 150% dude
CCP doesn't have that kind of resources

I'm guessing the problem is coding, because obviously they already thought about this issue before.

if you screenshot your client and zoom in, you can see how the icons and text need to be pixel-perfect. The icons in particular are a 8x8 pixel square (iirc?). those need to be scaled in nice square increments to prevent dithering. Preserving their sharpness, basically.

A couple years ago, maybe three, the neocom icons were vectorized which means they can be scaled without losing fidelity.

My thoughts about square icons in general is they are horrible and strip away too much visual information such as depth. Whether an object is 10AU from you or 100km, the icon has the same square dimensions.

4k is here and pretty soon 8k will be too. I think all things considered, icons need to be replaced with diagetic, vectorized and SCALING reticle elements based on distance.

Help, I can't download EVE

As a general rule, you're a lot more likely to get a developer response about your feature requests if you post in the appropriate forum.

That said, there was a recent thread here which has some information in it about where we are currently on this issue.

TLDR: The graphics team tests against high res monitors to make sure the game functions, but as far as adding additional support, adoption rates of 4k monitors are so far fairly low. We're keeping an eye on it, however.
