Re: Bitfighter should support high density displays

Hi Lamp,

I don't immediately see what is wrong. The whole game is vector graphics and scalable. What is wrong?

I think he means Bitfighter has problems playing with larger moniters I know my 3440 x 1440 display has problems.

Expand the image. The game runs in low-resolution mode on a high-density display, presumably because it has no support. Yes I think it should be easy to add support because of its scalable vector graphics.

Re: Bitfighter should support high density displays

Ah, OK. You mean to start as a larger window in the first place; that should be simple enough. What is a standard high-density display nowadays, in raw pixel resolution?

I don't know exactly how you make a program support high-dpi. You do need to have the thing render at twice the resolution, but it needs to be displayed at half the size to fit the screen... and somehow the OS knows whether the app aupports high dpi or not, cause the title bar is also shown in low-res

I don't know if this is revelant, but I have played Bitfighter in 4k with no problems.

Re: Bitfighter should support high density displays

Ohhh I see what you mean, the Bitfighter window and game is all ugly and low-res. Yes, I have only tried on Windows :/

No

honestly I heavily suspect its due to the scaling being off and trying to draw all the stuff ata wonkey scale ratio which is why I put it here.


If I need to I will other thread it though.
