Default 4k monitor

So I'm trying to play eq on a new laptop. The 4k monitor although amazing for other games is causing some major issues with EQ. The high resolution seems to be the major issue. 3840 x 2160... Anyone have a fix?

Easiest fix = Downscale your resolution.

Harder fix - Rebuilt a UI from scratch using larger graphics.

Default 4k Dual Screen

I am currently running dual 28" 4k screens, both set to 3840 x 2160.

The right monitor I use for my shaman windowed at 2560x1440 and I have the DXForever UI installed using DX1. His UI stuff is in the middle of the screen and I have text windows going to the edge. Is it a little small? yeah a little, but it is a 28" screen not a laptop so it is not that bad.

The Left monitor is my Warrior running full screen 3840x2160 with a custom UI. I have done alot of tweeking on font size in order to get the fonts large enough to read.

I Say that all to say, PLEASE dont listen to them about lowering the resolution.

If your system will handle you playing at the 4k DO IT. The curving of rounded items and the details are soooooo nice. I am running with everything but bloom lighting on and its absolutely fantastic. The quality of the image is sooooo nice.

But, that is how I found this post. My son is running at 1920x1200 and I am attempting to find the variable that lets me know what resolution the game is at.

I tried to inline a picture of my desk with eq running but it seems not to work, here is a share to my google pic.

Picture of my desktop running eq hosted on google photos

Just my 2 cents take it for what its worth.

Peace

That's not on live. That is a test server for setup and tweaking. Got tied of toasting my live characters due to a UI glitch.

Default 4k

Going to write a UI just for 4k. Made hotbars last night, has a minor issue with spell icons but much easier to see

Yes, have 5 pieces done and a few I am testing. I think 4 of them are on forums now.

With my work and life schedule will be around 1-2 pieces a week. Still waiting on a dev response on input boxes being able to be larger as well.

I use isboxer on my 4k laptop and just render the game in 1920x1080 and it looks just fine...You can have it render in any resolution and as long as the aspect ratio is the same it just works...My three main screens are 2550x1440 30" Asus monitors...2550x1440 is still to small on my 17" 4k laptop.

I have the same problem. I was wondering if you made anymore progress?

I found some but there are still other windows that I don't see, like bank, inventory screen and bags. Do you plan on doing more?
