Patch changed inventory width

This morning's patch seems to have force-changed the inventory size to ten spaces wide on all my toons. It won't let me re-size it back to the narrower format I prefer.

    I haven't noticed a difference, but perhaps your setting under Options were altered.

    Try Options, Basic tab, Interface Scale (at the bottom), and change that til it looks the way you want.
    Doing that resizes my bank/inventory slots.

    Uhh, no. That just makes everything bigger or smaller. The issue isn't the size of the boxes, it is that the inventory is now forced
    to be 10 boxes wide. Exactly as I said in my initial post.

    Got it. Well I don't have that problem. So it's not all of us.

    My layouts on Tuesday are the same as they were on Monday.

    Confirmed.. you are now forced to a minimum of 10 wide and it cannot be made narrower.

    Doesn't bother me, it's pretty much how I had it before.. I honestly didn't even notice. I guess I was 9 wide before so it made almost no difference for me, but I can see why this would annoy some people.

    From 6 wide to 10. It will take some getting used to, and some reorganization, but not a bad thing.

    Mine is still 13 wide, just like before the patch. Strange days eh?

    I noticed this on tribble beforehand, rather disappointed it was an intentional change that got pushed to live.

    I rather liked the narrow setup I had before; same width as the minimap/mission tracker windows. It was neat and organized without covering the central play area of the screen. As someone with mild OCD/meticulous tendencies, it's going to be rather... irksome.. to reorganize my dozen or so character's inventories to be all orderly again.

    Jeez, I had almost forgotten how any attempt to patch anything around here has to break something else, as a rule of thumb. :confused:

    Meh... I always had mine at 8 wide. No big deal for me I guess. Not like I run around with my inventory open all the time anyways.

    This, exactly. It annoys the tribble out of me. I had it exactly how I wanted it, how it had been for years, and they forced a change on me with no warning. GRRRR!

    I think it was caused by adding the binding filter... if you open up the filters thing, it shows them going all the way across at 10 items. They probably set the minimum to that to prevent the pulldowns from going to a second line.

    It appears they only reset the minimum width... it can still be pulled larger.

    Can you please explain to us what a binding filter is, where it's found, what it does, etc?



  • velquavelqua Member Posts: 1,220 Arc User
    What the hell is going on here!? 10 slots wide!?

    Like others, I had everything set to 6 slots wide because it took up less space on the screen. I am not happy with this "upgrade". I hope there are plans to change it back to 6. If the Devs are not, they can at least make the statement that this is permanent so that I and others can make adjustments without worrying that UI will revert back and mess up our organization.

    Binding Filters show how 'bound' you are to STO, ranging from 'You can still escape, run while you can' to 'You made a pact with Cryptic of eternal obedience and Zen purchase'

    Mine did not change, but then they were at 15 or so.

    I am going to make a guess and say that they made the inventory default size wider because, on tribble, they added a new "salvage" tab on the inventory UI that shows all salvageable items, and lets you salvage said items all at once.

    This new minimum size for the inventory window is just the size needed to fit the new tab on there.

    Interesting theory... didn't think about that. Does make sense to make the window bigger if you're fitting a new tab in. Although I'm not sure if salvage is worth a whole tab. Pet tab yes. But salvage isn't an item, its a currency. Unless they're going to put salvagable items into said tab, which means our main inventory will just have consumables and other non salvagable stuff while ship and ground gear, which can be salvaged, gets put in the new tab.
    Probably best to just wait and see what happens.

    UGH! This is horrible, Cryptic for god's sake PLEASE fix it so we can have it to 8 or 6 slots etc. again if we want it to?

    I don't care about filters, never use them in inv because my invs are organised into neat rows of EIGHT!

    Thank you!

    Add me to the list annoyed by the change. Rearranging inventories is a pain on its own, but bloated UI elements are even worse.

    If adding tabs forces the inventory panel to be larger, they should figure out how to fit the tabs into a smaller space. That way it will scale up as they continue to add tabs.

    I'm in agreement. Initially it is just a nuisance & my concern was it is going to mess-up my UI arrangement overall but it had minimal negative affect & I'm already comfortable with it.

    If it was needed/done to allow another feature then I accept it & will adapt.

    A heads-up would've been nice but Cryptic's strong-suite has never been communication.

    Honestly I don't get the meltdown some are having.
    Lets just wait and see what comes up rather than hit the panic button.

    I have already sent a major complaint thru the support page as well as 3 other places here.
    To date they have done nothing that helps the players and I doubt verry much they will fix this.
    Unfortunately for me 2 yrs of this has been going on and I have reached the end of my rope of tolorating stress causing events in a game, I stay cause I am someone who enjoyed watching star trek while it was on regular cable, but whats hapening to this game is really making me question if its time to go find another star trek game worth playing cause this ones worth is dropping FAST!

    If something this tiny and meaningless is going to push you over the edge, it's in every ones best interest (especially your own) if you do indeed quit playing. Use the time to explore options into improving your mental health and well being, because you're out on a ledge on this one.
