=VG= m823us Posted April 1, 2021 at 02:29 PM Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 at 02:29 PM Hello all, I have had a lot of feedback from players in the short time that we updated to 1.6.5.0 and I wanted to see what people's thoughts were on the new Graphic User Interface 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= 0100011000101 Posted April 1, 2021 at 03:41 PM Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 at 03:41 PM now you have a stretched game because 16:9 and a compressed menu because 4:3... great ^^ somehow it looks strange... the only thing better is that you can now read the chat while the map is open. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SemlerPDX Posted April 1, 2021 at 06:12 PM Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 at 06:12 PM Just had a look myself. Not bad - they were 4:9 menus, but stretched into 16:9 and now they display properly (in a 4:9 space) regardless of the available viewport space, even if it's 16:9 wide... smart. That's a lot better than it being stretched, especially in an MFD view. But for the Squad Join or Respawn menus, it is pretty obvious that the original design predates 16:9 standards. I think I still had a CRT when I first bought Battlefield 2, upgrading from Battlefield 1942 and the Desert Combat Mod. I suppose the idea is that the map is square, and the squad/kit box elements are plenty wide already, so blank space would exist no matter what on a wide monitor, with the map already as tall as the screen. There are nearly imperceptible ways to add some padding and margin control for that sort of GUI width based on the viewport, but that would be a lot of GUI work for very little payout. It looks good, it functions great, and is no longer stretched and distorted when the monitor is wider than a 4:9. Cheers to them! +1 for bringing back map transparency, that would make for a nice slider in the options menu. Maybe also on the books for a later date? Hope it doesn't mess up you pilots too much! Could really use a persistent mini-map in air vehicles, with an MFD styled border/frame, and not taking up too much screen real estate but big enough to glance down at, arrow keys maybe to move it at various zoom levels... if possible, even make one or two of the MFD frame buttons work as toggles to maybe follow player in zoomed levels, or remain fixed. There's only so much they can do, and only so much worth doing, who knows what the future holds and obviously they are still working hard to bring in new features and ideas after 16+ years, even if all of them don't get met with applause, and they still actively work to fix the bugs (even for COOP).

KilRoy- Posted April 2, 2021 at 03:08 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 at 03:08 AM I'm a bit adjusting to most of it. At first I don't see the capping status until I realize it's in the bottom. The bar Increasing towards the enemy seem a bit weird, but then I realize it's a bar graph which represent that my territory is increasing. I don't like the weapons and squad joining pop up, if it's length can be increase a little more to make it look normal. With the map, i think reverting back to a transparency mode will be better to crewmen or pilots. In anycase, PR is still great and it will live forever.

=VG= Zeee Posted April 2, 2021 at 05:19 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 at 05:19 AM Im all for the new stuff 100%Transparency of the map being removed seems to have set off alarms with a lot of people and i kinda understand why but in the end im for it but an on/off setting or slider would be cool. Im really liking the quality of life changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= The_Polish_Guy Posted April 2, 2021 at 06:55 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 at 06:55 AM I actually like the new GUI. I don't care about the map transparency because I fly/drive with the minimap, open the map for a moment or just use my knowlege of the map. I still can see it being a problem for people who used to fly with it. The menus look good and I like that they are not stretched. I feel like HUDs in air vechicles are a bit better this way. I pretty much like all the changes except the removal of the mutiny button and number of players in the Caps menu. Other that those two things, big thanks to the DEV team.

KilRoy- Posted April 2, 2021 at 08:07 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 at 08:07 AM BTW I failed to mention, I like that button to call for medics. I don't have to keep on making sounds calling repeatedly to remain visible in the map and to know if a medic is on the way to rescue me, calling by repeatedly pressing this buttons helps a lot. This newer build is a better release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the button that was there before but it was merged with "give up" button? It already was in the game you just had to right click to call for medic. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH0M Posted April 2, 2021 at 07:56 PM Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 at 07:56 PM Tried it yesterday, things i like +fresh +speedy & more responsive map & mini map ( things i don't like / looked weird / need some getting used to -opaque map things that got my hopes high, stretched it, and ripped it apart (apparently it's just not there yet): -better widescreen support --- tried this one with 5,760 x 1040 setup; the field of view displayed on the screen wasn't cropped anymore like it used to, buuut, the UI was still stretched, cockpit was missing, vehicles & meshes disappeared slowly until most of them were gone leaving me with patchy ground meshes, shadow of the A10 i was riding, and nothing else *SAD* #curbyourenthusiasm #ihaveadream has anybody else try fiddling with ultrawide setup after the new update? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I like it, I have to login and see, but sometimes it's better to leave well enough alone. From what I understand, the R-DEV's had wanted to do this for some time but didn't have a valid method. This is just them implementing things they'd wanted to do long ago, I guess. I always played on a widescreen monitor, and never minded the stretching but it was noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunnel vision drive any fixes please or wait new fix update ? I don't think it's a bug. It is supposed to look like this. It looks just like before the update, but it isn't stretched anymore. So you and everyone else need to get used to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this new GUI hurting your ability to fly between buildings, an action that is performed with the GUI closed and hidden? I was under the impression that we were discussing the elements on the GUI not being stretched to the wide-sides anymore, and also the mini-map not being transparent when brought up to view, and the fake DoF effect of blurred perimeter when ADS or using a rifle scope. I just don't see where that is related to flying and sense of scale in 3D... apologies if I've missed something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
