Guild Wars 2

I came back to gw2 after two months of absence, and I noticed that the UI no longer stays on the preferred screen, also when I log in, my characters are all zoomed in. I’m now using Windows 10, before it was windows 8. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I believe that was something that changed quite a long time ago, I had the same problem.
I had to change some setting to get it to work right, can’t remember if that was Windowed Fullscreen, or Fullscreen to get the UI back in place.

Thing is, it was fine when I was playing gw between march and may. I tried switching between these modes as you said, but this is what I see on login:

I’ve been running eyefinity for some time now without issues on win 7 . Just upgraded to 10 and it no longer centers the UI. Get the same thing you are. Sucks.

On a side note, what is this skin your char is wearing? Looks fancy.

@BillFreist: thanks Bill, just in time for the expansion pack!

D’oh. I could swear it didn’t look like that when I was contemplating buying it. But then again, it was a long time ago and I decided against it.

Can anyone confirm this fix finally made it to Live? Dont want to bother upgrading again then having to downgrade if its still not fixed.

Thanks

I am still experiencing this error. However, I have discovered that the error depends on how I have my monitors set up.

If I have three monitors connected using Eyefinity (and no additional monitors), then the UI is properly centered on the middle screen. If I add a fourth monitor, separate from the three in Eyefinity (ie: 3 eyefinity + 1 standalone), then the UI spans the three eyefinity monitors, and there is no way that I am aware of to force the UI onto the center screen.

I’m running Windows 10 x64
Video Card: MSI R9 Fury X
Video Driver: Crimson Edition 15.12 (released Dec. 16, 2015)

Hello, I am running an eyefinity setup with 4 monitors and I can confirm that the UI and MAP errors are still ongoing. Can you developers PLEASE address this issue? I have had to put off this game for more than a year now because eyefinity has been broken for me for that long. I am now sure that this problem is related to having more than 3 monitors.

How can a PC exclusive game have such little support to multiple resolutions and widescreen? All of my other games work properly even if they are just ports.

I would love to get back in the game and buy the expansion but I just cant force myself to play at 1080p… PLEASE FIX THIS.

Thank you.

My set up:

r9 290,
8gb ram
i7 4770k
3 1080p ips panels
1 1440p ips panel
Crimson drivers 16.3 and windows 10 latest built

I feel sorry for all you people running ANYTHING other than Win7! Win8, SUCKS. Win10, also SUCKS.

Win7 is where it’s at…

Sorry but, /truth

I’ll add that I’ve been playing since BWE1 on 3x screens (@ 5936*1080) on a dual ATI gfx card setup and Win7 – without ANY problems.

The closest thing I could consider a “problem” was, as shown in the other posters screen-grab, I wished our toon’s “scaled” on the character select screen because when you’re playing @ 5936*1080 it chops off our head (and too much of our lower region)…

This is not an OS problem, it is a game engine issue. You have the same problem as me with the character select screen; this means that most likely your UI and map are not centered in the middle screen either.

Actually yes, I have zero problem with UI, and UI “centering”.

I was, as a side note, pointing out that W7 is still ‘top dog’ as far as I’m concerned. Also, to be technical, yes OS COULD have something to do with graphic issues such as this. As Froze Steel.7604 pointed out, he had NO problems on W7, but does on W10… So even if it’s not the OS itself, it could be something like the different gfx drivers that are released for different OS versions. So ultimately, yes, I would still blame the OS as the culprit since that’s the ‘root’ cause of the problem… On the other hand, like the person from ANET said, maybe it is the client (in that they need to update their ATI/AMD library), and maybe that just hasn’t been added to a patch yet…

What i dont understand is why it has been so long and yet they haven’t properly addressed wide screen, resolution and multiple screen issues. This is a pc exclusive game, it is supposed to have top notch optimization.
