modding ..for what ? when EG7 close the server the game is dead and not come to a rebirth

[MaverickBlue]

I just re-installed the game because I saw the Beach Party event pop up in Steam, loaded it up, then realized why I'd stopped playing in the first place. The game is literally unplayable unless I want to keep a pair of binoculars on hand every time I'm in the mech bay.

Hilarious to think this post was made about 6 years ago. Game should have had UI scaling before this post was made, and here we are 6 years after this post and still no UI Scaling. Such a basic function, because it's not a feature it's just something that the game should have to function properly.

Here's a suggestion to all of the devs, start playing your game exclusively in 4k and within 24 hours if not instantly you'll be annoyed enough to get this function implemented immediately.

UI scaling please!

It's 2023.

So many people are using ultrawide and 4K these days.

Get with the times already. Trying to use mechlab and the text and UI is so small you need a magnifying glass to read it.

Add UI scaling already. How hard can it be?

[BLACKR0SE]

this is my problem too.

[PsylentFox]

When my 4k monitor died a few months ago and I downgraded to a 1440p one I was a touch relieved because I didn't have to have a magnifying glass to see what I was doing in the mechlab anymore. lol

Crazy to see that this was a problem over five years ago and still hasn't been fixed. This is like... basic b*tch sh*t.

Coming into this community in January when I started playing MW5 I had always wondered why the community thought that PGI wasn't doing the franchise justice, and there was a lot of distrust in the community over their abilities, but seeing this? I think I'm beginning to understand.

(Though to be fair I was beginning to understand when the Raselhauge DLC launched and broke all of the Mods that I'd been using, and playing the game vanilla made me realize just how hard the modding community was carrying this franchise on their backs.)

It isn't a bad idea ... it's just not something imperative like lets say, improving the gameplay? New game modes? New features like melee (one can still dream) Saving the game to the point it might run for another decade? Just saying.

improving gameplay is a very nebulous goalpost. what does that even mean? ui scaling is a more well defined feature. the former requires a meeting to even figure out what "improving gameplay" means, while ui scaling would just be a line item on the to do list. modernizing the game would maybe perhaps bring in more new players who will stick around rather than leave in disgust because the game doesn't even have basic functions.

now i got to go sharpen my machete before the zombies get into the chickens.

...dude in this game, every time there is an update, it is just PGI tweaking quirks, messing with weapons range, dmg, rate of fire, moving this a little bit over there, and new maps that are nothing to write home about.

Addition of melee system would really evolve the game play.
New weapons would really improve the fun in finding that personalized loadout that works just for you.
Reworking the heat system and how they affect the mech, why an energy weapon in the arm heat as much as one in the torso?
A knocked down system that discourage folks driving a piranha or a pirate bane and actually being able to physically stopping an atlas path.
A tutorial that actually guides players into the basics of navigating the features of the game like the mechbay, buying, joining a faction play.
New game modes that actually reflect the "war" aspect of mech warrior, as it stands right now it still feel too gladiatorial.
More support abilities, maybe one that summons an AI controlled demolishers that follow basic command like follow me, go there, hold this spot.

And those r just a the top of my head

It has been 3 years since I moved to a 4K OLED, and there is still no scaling in the main menu why is that?
At least the UI in-game is scaled, but can someone at PGI explain why there is no UI scaling up to today, since many people are on 4K?
It was understandable 7 years ago when the OP made the thread, but now what is the reason?

They never will, they are doing no development only the new/variation mechs and weapons.
Best outcome will be if they unlock the UI files and release its code for community mods.

[Ignatius Audene]

Reason: no programmers, niche game decade old, Frankenstein borked cryengine no one knows where the button is.

[Lord of All]

Haven't played in years and all my skills are refunded and mechs are all changed and went to mechlab to straighten everything out to get back in to the game and it is UNREADABLE!!!!!

How do you expect people to play if they cannot read the FONTS?????

[Ignatius Audene]

We don't use ingame ui build your mech age mechdb and then export the build code.

If PGI is going to continue producing content, then the UI needs to keep pace with the changing technology. We are not asking for the entire game to be recoded to take advantage of the latest Cry Engine or latest DirectX. I agree, this should be treated like a bug and added to the to-do list. Or allow the Caldron folks, I think that is their name, to look into the UI and produce a fix. They seem to be a trusted partner.

Same problem
