Dane Claibourne.1379 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 This new feature stopped 3D, Stereoscopic, from working. due to that I say the following: If your team decides to remove Stereoscopic support (after giving it to us for since GW2 start!) we need to know. I, for one, will play much less in 2D and do not play using VR at all; most of us do not. I will stop spending money to do expensive things and won't buy in your store. GW2 will become one of many back-burner games for me. It was literally the 3D that kept me hooked and playing for hours. The 3D effects on the Legionaries was also amazing. If you pull 3D support in favor of higher VR resolution without giving us a 3D choice, then in my book you are criminals for causing all of us that paid for the Stereoscopic in your "Options" panel. I will stop trusting ArenaNet and flame you in as many places as possible on customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanhelin.3480 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I still have this huge login window which covers almost my entire screen. It scales normally when I scale everything down to 100% (Win 10) but then everything else is nearly unreadable. So I switched back to the recommended 125%.I figured out it has something to do with dpi awareness. I don't know how to tell the login window to scale at 100% only without scaling everything else too. There are two windows: first a nearly full white one with GuildWars2, the ArenaNet Logo written in it which initializes and which is as small as before but then the login window appears which now is a giant one.

Richie.6823 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I've turned off DPI scaling, but my login window (where I enter my username/password) is still HUGE, it also goes a little below the taskbar, so I always have to move it up. How do I get it back to normal size (the way it looked before the update)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonstarmac.4603 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I love the DPI scaling. I can finally use my display @ 4k. I set the DPI to 150% and it fits just as if I was using 1440p 100% scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganOneNine.1025 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 After the patch, I'm still seeing fuzzy UI text when "Interface Size" is set to anything besides Normal. Any word on a fix for that specifically, devs?https://imgur.com/a/xA2FW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyfalcon.1826 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Why is the launcher covering 75% of my screen? I can disable the DPI scaling in-game but the launcher is still...well...launching in absolutely massive size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyaen.5148 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Please allow the setting to save instead of turning it off every time I launch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynspottery.6529 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I am also still seeing a huge launcher window....even though I unchecked the DPI setting in game which fixed my UI size. Although I can't read anything unless I enlarge the UI size, which still brings the hotbar keys back up to large. Why can't we have text sizing separated from the UI elements for our hotbar keys. We can adjust the size of the map and the chat boxes but not the text? Then there is the issue of the launcher being 3/4 the size of my monitory screen. I had set all my pc settings so that I could actually read text at the size I need without making my icons larger (different settings for those). Before the patch my launcher was just fine. But ever since the patch it covers 3/4 of my screen space. What a mess.Update: I also went back to see about adjusting my pc settings and when I adjusted for icon sizes, everything on my screen became extremely small at the 100% setting and I could not even read any of the title texts. It did decrease the launcher size by about 1/5 of the current giant size, but in the process I can't read anything else. So I had to go back and reverse the regular settings so I could actually see things normally, but the launcher is back to it gigantic size. My question is this: Why can't we readjust the size of the launcher without affecting everything else in sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has never been that easy to see, but since this update the cursor is a fraction of the size it used to be and is almost impossible to see. This is probably one of many unintended consequences of making such a drastic change, but now is a serious QoL loss. Please make whatever change needed to restore the cursor back to a visible size please. I'm also having this issue, 5k monitor set at 2560x1440 with DPI scaling off results in a teeny tiny cursor!

Aradir.3214 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It's silence all around from the devs. Why? The least you can do is give an update what you are doing about the DPI scaling problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippolit.3591 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I ask again ... why can't this change simply be reversed until a fix is in place that addresses the issues that the community have mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moira Shalaar.5620 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 So I have found a solution for the cursor size, at least for Mac OS users, may be useful for windows, idk. If you go into System Preferences --> Accessibility you can increase the cursor size. This will increase it in both the normal usage and in game, but at least I can find it now in game!

Yifang.8260 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 @Vandril.3490 said:@"Jon Olson.8439" : I'm also experiencing the issue of the DPI Scaling setting not saving. In fact, after testing, of the few graphics options I tried to test, none of my graphics settings changes are saving. It's worth noting that I have not tested every setting option under the Graphics tab, but rather only a handful. In %appdata%/Guild Wars 2/, the GFXSettings.Gw2-64.exe XML file is not updating when I change settings and close the GW2 client. I imagine it's meant to. (Unless it's a "default settings" file?) I use the 64-bit GW2 client, and editing this file does change my settings when I load the game.For example, I was able to default the DPI Scaling setting to off by finding its corresponding line in the GFXSettings.Gw2-64.exe XML file...<OPTION Name="dpiScaling" Registered="True" Type="Bool" Value="true"/>...and changing Value="true" to Value="false".So, instead of being unable to keep DPI Scaling disabled when I restart the client, DPI Scaling now turns itself off every time I restart the client.All of this is, of course, a new issue that only popped up after the recent patch which introduced DPI Scaling as a setting.Thanks for this, for mac 32bit users you need to press alt from the finder window to be able to access 'Library', from there application support from the 'Go' menu, then go to application support, GW2 > p-drive > User > Application Data > Guild Wars 2 & then open GFXSettings.Gw2.exe.xml and make the change.

OGDeadHead.8326 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Same here. Seems to be a hard on to crack. I hope they don't just leave it like this and claim "good enough". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganOneNine.1025 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 OGDeadHead, what resolution are you running? Someone mentioned also having1280x1024 (which is what I'm using), so part of me fears it's just an "oh that's an inferior resolution, not many people are using that so we won't bother with a fix" stance.

OGDeadHead.8326 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 1680x1050. Since I had no issues with this prior to the dpi scaling release, it's a fact that Anet messed something up when they introduced this, it's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malikah.3761 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm running 1920x1200 which is, like 1680x1050, a 16:10 aspect ratio instead of the now common 16:9. So I guess that puts us pretty low on the priority list.Right now I can choose between straining my eyes looking at small font, straining my eyes looking at blurred font or taking a break, which is what I've opted to do.
