Resolution scale set to zero

frtoaster

Tribble ticket 4,754,041 (submitted on 09/10/2018)

After the Tribble patch on September 5, 2018, my resolution scale was set to 0. I didn't notice any difference visually, probably because the game considers 0 to be a null default setting and treats a resolution scale of 0 the same as a resolution scale of 1. However, I'm not sure this change was intended.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the following build:

Version: ST.87.20180613a.41 (SVN 227491)
Release: Victory Is Life
Tribble patch date: 08/30/2018

2. Start the game client, and log on to any character.
3. Press Esc, click "Options", and then click on the "Display" tab.
4. Set "Resolution scale" to 1.00.
5. Exit the game client.
6. Make a copy of your gameprefs.pref file.
7. Install the following build:

Version: ST.90.20180830a.3 (SVN 227723)
Release: Age of Discovery
Tribble patch date: 09/05/2018 (first day on Tribble)

8. Start the game client, and log on to any character.
9. Press Esc, click "Options", and then click on the "Display" tab.
10. Notice that "Resolution scale" is now set to 0.00.
