Playing on a 4k Monitor

[chriscase26]

Hi folks,
Not sure if this thread is too old for me to bump, but here goes.

I've done what I think is the right setup for a 4k system -

- Installed and using WinEQ
- Set windows font size to 200%
- Downloaded Rustle2 and unzipped it under my game uifiles directory
- Set my display resolutions in eqclient.ini
- Logged on, set chat size to 6, and loaded skin rustle2.4k

I do see some good effects and the graphics look pretty good, but my basic problem is with all the text on the buttons and in the chat input area itself. These are all off in some way that causes them to be basically unreadable. It's particularly unenjoyable to type into the chat window without being able to read what I'm typing. Also all the menu options during login and trying to set things like music volume are similarly unreadable. I can mostly guess what to do to log in but it certainly makes using the client less enjoyable. Has anyone solved this? Am I missing something here?

Awesome, I'm gonna give this a shot. Thanks for posting this info. I just came back so I'm gonna see if I can get it looking right as well.

You guys need Shawk UI.

It is the velious UI upscaled the way it should be for us playing in much larger resolutions ... it is a work of art!

Please check this video:




You can get the download links for it in the video description or here in eqinterface:

Personally it is my go to UI ...

My only wish is there was a halfway version of it . It literally magnifies the Velious UI by 2.0 times, I would love a 1.25 and 1.5 upscale to complement this one which is 2.0 times magnification, and I have other smaller but also biggish p99 setups where this ui is actually a bit big

Man I love this UI so much, it is exactly what this game needs, everybody else keeps using the same scaling for uis, Shawk is the only one that decided to go full upscaling.
