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

Hi,

Totally agree.

I play on a native 4k screen and the UI takes soo much of the screen.

Adding my grain of sand here.. same haha specially with all the intense NPC action happening almost constantly on one side of the screen!

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.

Even at 1440p it is way too big. The visible viewport area is so small compared to older Anno games..

Edit: Playing at 1920x1440 you will notice that the interface doesn't scale UP yet. Playing at 1920x1440 is almost more bearable than playing on 2560x1440 on 27". It also explains the blurry graphics since those are very sharp when playing in windows 1920x1080 or 1920x1440 but on 2560x1440 they get scaled up.

In the engine.ini there is a key called "UseHighResUITextures" which is set to false. Setting this to true results to 90% of the images not loading. I assume that part of Anno 1800 is not done yet and we are getting presented an unfinished product once again.
