Widescreen Display Issues
Two major issues I've had, since I was forced to switch to Widescreen (16:9-1920x1080). (Well, one major, one minor.)
The big one, is that I can no longer make my party members display vertically in my HUD:
This is especially egregious at high levels, when player status icons start stacking horizontally so far that they actually overlap. (Also bit annoying how, under the default HUD config, the first party member displays fine, then the subsequent party members tile out horizontally beneath him.)
Second bug is just annoying - I'd have to animate it to get a proper image of it, but when viewing dungeon/skirmish party statistics (via "x" or the "contest" button), the scores keep repeatedly scrolling off to the left.
Given that this is pretty much the most common format for modern monitors, wondering if it's been addressed, or if there's some other fix? No amount of re-arranging the hud or resizing the panel seems to help.

If they are already at 1.0, change them slightly, save, reset them back to 1.0 and save again.
If you are lucky that may fix it.

...Not that my blind eyes could handle 1.0 scaling at my monitor's native resolution - even if it is 27".

I run mine at that res in full windowed mode and have no issues. I always had issues in the past trying to run at 1080
I'm running full-screen Windowed. Which is nice, as I need to be able to flip out to check on servers easily. Didn't have any issues until I had to change monitors and switched to 16:9. Can't hardly get a monitor in any other format these days though (save maybe ultra-wide, which I can only assume is even worse).
Have experienced this since mod 2 or 3. It is annoying.
Specs:
Intel Core i7 960 Nehalem 3.2GHz
LGA 1366 - Intel® X58 / ICH10R
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
ASUS VG236H
RAM: 6GB : 2GB x 3 Kingston DDR3 PC3-1333 Intel® i7 Triple Channel
EVGA Geforce 670 GTX FTW 2GB
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
It seems very odd to me that graphics don't take into account the more common 16:9 and 16:10 aspects. This needs to be fixed.
Its not a fix but I feel like tearing my hair out less, change the hud so that team "block" is just above the chat box. Bad for clerics but less annoying for other classes.
Turning the GUI Scaling to 1.0, and restarting, fixes this - but then you have to deal with text and icons being very small (except the chat window text, which thankfully can be scaled through the Chat options.)
I can't imagine what those new Quad HD HAMSTER are going through. (Not that they don't deserve to suffer.)
It seems it'd be a simple fix, vs. some of the bugs, and the much more epic balance issues they are (or need to get to) fixing. So I suppose I'll just keep bumping this once a week until something happens.
Again: GUI scaling + Widescreen = Fail, as imaged in top post. Please fix.
To reproduce:
1.) Switch to: 1920x1080 (likely any widescreen situation)
2.) Options->Interface->[General] and move "Interface Scale" slider to 1.3 (anything >1 should work, maybe <1 too, not tested).
3.) Create/join a party with 3 or more total members.
Will continue to bump each week, each time confirmed, until fixed.
I'm about ready to abandon this game though - no point in leveling knowing the game's just going to be unplayable come 70 - someone may need to keep bumping this for me.
Would love an answer for this, I have been looking for this bug and was hoping to see a fix, but no.
To fix it, reduce the UI scale.
Game Menu -> Options -> Interface -> General -> Interface Scale
Move the slider to the left and click Apply. Adjust until the party members show vertically.
I have been playing nearly 2 years and this just now has started to happen.
UI ?
So my words have to be smaller for the party list to go up and down so they don't enter the center of my screen and end up cover foes and allies in fights?
Sigh.
Of course I raised my chat font but that is little of the total font on screen.
Some feature !
What exactly is this feature anyway ? I have never had an issue with my party list overlapping anything.
LOL
