3840x2160 support when?

[ackack47]

Is there still no news on when 4K support will happen?  The game looks absolutely gorgeous in 2160p but with such a tiny-little UI it's very uncomfortable to play at this resolution.  All that needs to happen is to give the option to up the scale of the UI by 4 times to match 1080p's UI scale.  

 

Here is my old thread on this topic but since it was back when Open Beta barely came out it didn't get very far so I've waited till now to try again.

 

In this screen shot you can see how small the UI is.  I scaled the picture down to 1080p so you can imagine how difficult it would be to play with a UI that small at 1080p.

 

Edit: By "support" I am specifically referring to the User Interface, the game already runs amazing at 3840x2160.

Submit a ticket to support. They might have a solution that involves manually changing a config file.

That sounds too simple but I'll give it a try, thanks dude.

Is that a full-sized minimap? The ship lists I don't care about since I don't use em.

that solution works for archaic CRTs that are under resolution

 

but the UI has scaling limits

 

be prepared for VERY tiny text

The mini-map is maxed out in my first thread, the picture in this thread lets me get it larger because of a mod in Aslain's mod pack.  So, the map in this picture is actually slightly larger than maxed-out.

Because of the mods you are using.  I don't have that problem on 2560x1440 running plain vanilla.

There is no way to make the UI bigger even when mods are not installed.

apparently there is, but nobody actually knows how

 

it was found in bugs forum

 

but never published (even in the thread that found it)

[ZombieFlanders]

i would like to know as well. i play with DSR factors to force some anti-aliasing, but past 1440 the UI is unreadable.

 

it took 5 years for WoT to get any UI scaling, so im guessing itll be a while for anything official here.

Oh sorry I thought you meant 3840x2160.  I play on 1440p normally because that is my 2nd monitor and you are correct, the UI is fine.  Maybe slightly small for my tastes but it's fine.  2160p is a massive jump above 1440p though so you wouldn't understand -_-.  <1st world issues...

This is the response from my ticket

 

They are pretty much saying to not use support tickets for my request and keep posting in the forums until someone helps me.

I play on 2560x1440 and, although I think the GUI is fine at that resolution, when in the battle results screen, the text is noticeably scaled better for 1920x1080 monitors.

[ackack47]

I play on my 2560x1440 monitor as well but the color and picture quality are not nearly as good as my Samsung 4K monitor.

This is beyond an essential aspect to the gameplay. Every action is based on this ui so how can it just be tossed aside? im forced to use 1080 & see the ship wires look like graphics from the apple 2gs days. its absolutely absurd. i can scale up & remove these graphic distractions but cant aim or see whats happening in game. I fell in love with this game rapidly but its absurd to have my graphics cards & have to downscale just to read the chat box or distance. The fact that this hasnt been properly addressed really concerns me. How can i scale the User Interface UI to higher resolutions? why bother building a game with high resolution then make it unplayable at those resolutions without a tv so large it has yet to be invented. Im sure those that are playing it in their own theatre will find difficulty reading the absurd scaling of ui. I can jump into any game on my pc & it will scale automatically so why such difficulty? how about this tell me where the files are regarding the UI so i can fix it & ill post the fix. This seriously needs to be addressed immediately. If i want to see & shoot pixels i will play space invaders or super mario bros except in super mario i can read how many lives left....

Unlikely. Without explicit scaling support, the on-screen text and UI elements will be very imprecisely upscaled at best or very small at worst.

 

It's quite a bit of work for WG to scale up the UI "the right way" unless they happen to have predicted the need and already have the high-res assets handy.

I play at 4096 x 2160 and I love it but it is a 51 inch 4k TV I am using for a monitor.

​I play at 3840 / 2160 at 4k as well on a 60 inch Samsung, And feel the UI is just fine. However I'd love to see scaling of the UI at some point. I'm very simple. There is many things I'd like to almost hide or remove completely. A big UI looks ugly and takes away from the great graphics.

I got my new 32" 4k monitor... UI needs really to get adapted to that resolution, map is microscopic!

Though i had to lower all settings on my old HD7970 to play at 30 fps (was playing max settings on old full HD monitor over over 60pfs all the time).

i'm waiting for the new AMD GPUs to see if i go nvidia or AMD

I too have a 27 inch 4k Samsung Monitor and can achieve 4k resolution at a 60 FPS average, but yes the UIs are quite small. 1440p seems to be the sweet spot right now.

Good to wait now too since the NVidia GTX 1070 and the 1080 were announced, all depends on whether AMD  can provide the better bang for the buck. Even when the 1070s and the 1080s are released, the NVidia GTX 980Ti will drop in price and you can potentially run well with it.

*bump*

 

I'm a little upset that this issue hasn't been fixed yet.  I just upgraded to a 4k monitor today and was really looking forward to playing World of Warships on it.  But the UI is so small now it's almost impossible to play.

[HazardDrake]

I'm a fairly big computer nerd, but 4k screens are still an incredibly niche market as far as I am aware of. Most people I know have only 1080 monitors. I know only two people who have higher and one of them is my boss, who doesn't game.

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

Im here with 2560x1440 and its not as bad as 4K but there are things with the UI I wish were sized a bit differently and positioned better to take advantage of the Screen area.
