Resolution and UI Size

[Beinen]

Good evening, I recently got a new machine. Its a laptop with RTX 3050 Ti, i9 @ 2.5GHz, 16g ram, 3840X2400 monitor.

My problem is the size of the UI and selecting a resolution. Ideally I want to play in windowed mode with the window covering the entire screen. I can't find a way to select a resolution that will allow me to maximize. Please can someone help me find a way to view the game that my old eyes can see the screen.

Thank you

You can manually edit your eqclient.ini file and input a custom resolution.

for example in the past I've set mine at:

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1870
WindowedHeight=1000

When I edit the width and height it will fill the screen, but i can't read anything because the UI is so small.

mcoy do you mean the windows scale or other information in the post? The windows scaling doesn't change EQ when it loads.

Edit; Adjusting the scaling for all users, changing resolution to (i think) 1920x1080 did the trick. Thank you.

the UI pieces have their sizes, and the sizes each thing inside of those UI pieces hard coded in your UI files. I don't think it's till the ROF2 client that windows and UI pieces scale dynamically.

For example, if you're making a player window, you gotta code the size of the window, then if you want to display a stat like dex, you gotta tell it where and how big the text "DEX" and then where and how big for the actually number for the player's dex too. It's less than fun

Thank you! This helped me out a lot!
