    The UI needs to be scaled down, its way too big and gets in the way.

    The UI is way too big, it really gets in the way. The bottom menu should be made smaller, it takes up way too much space. Its frustrating.

    i agree totally. at 1080P we used to get a wide view of game play. now it seems new games are being design for 1440P and 4K display. i understand you have to have a newbie friendly UI for beginners but AT LEAST give us veterans the choice to toggle and/or auto hide this stuff.

    while on topic we should also be able to quickly access the hot-key menu during game play.

    Agreed as well! I play in 1440p and the UI is taking way too much room on the screen! Especially if you have the quest/notification panel opened on the left!

    Yeah, I agree. It feels like everything is scaled for a higher resolution, making the screen space really limited and cluttered at 1080p.

    Edit: For the quest book, it would be nice to have an option to partially minimize it and show only the quest names or something.

    I sure hope so. WIth the very small amount of activity here it should be very feasible.

    I sure hope so too!! Given my issue of the very first game patch, that I (foolishly as it turned out!!) allowed to update the game within the first 24hrs of buying/downloading and commencing playing the darned thing; that has 'broken' Anno 1800 on my machine... I'd be seriously cheezed off if all the crash reports my attempts to run the game send to Ubisoft, along with my post/s on this here forum end up getting zero notice whatsoever!!!

    Customer satisfaction is still hopefully something these gaming corporations are interested in obtaining AND maintaining!

    No, the problem is it doesn't scale. It's just as obnoxiously large and cluttered at 4K.

    Fits perfectly and is the right size, buy a better screen.

    Mostly unlikely, but there is Ubisoft staff online and support make a note and pass along to Devs teams, I think.
    I got a feeling that Devs might think it's not worth to go website and read all those, too much time, they keep busy with their own design, idea of programing in their own time, time do fly fast.

    Edit: So it's up to Ubisoft staff feel whatever it's worth it or not to pass to Devs team or so I think.
