Guild Wars 2

I’m running 1024×768 resolution on my 23.5" led-screen because I try to max my fps for smooth play. Trust me, I would run best possible settings but I think game is still good looking and fps is nice now. The problem is that everything in screen is just really huge, like skillbar and quests on the right top corner. Those things take way too much space even though I have set interface size to smallest possible.

So is there anyway to get those even smaller without losing much fps? For example in gw1 you were able to change sizes of those UI objects by yourself and I think that was awesome solution.

You can change the size under Video Settings. But I’ve found that when doing that the font gets all messed up.

Are you telling me that by changing Windows own Video Settings I can change size of my skillbar? Any chance you can tell me how to do this even if it effects to the font but it would be awesome to learn how to do it.

Video Settings in game lets you change your UI scale… How did you miss this?

Because I didn’t miss it if you just can check my first post again or the quote above.. Now I could ask you the same question but maybe I wasn’t clear enough when I started this thread so I don’t care but now you know it is smallest possible but it still takes way too much space. All I care is to get some help to this problem which I doubt I’m the only one that has it.

LOL @ this exchange….

Honestly though, if you’re running at 1024×768, I would suggest that you just upgrade your PC a bit. Even with the UI scaled all the way down, the game really just isn’t meant to be played at a resolution that low, regardless of the fact that they “technically” support it. People have been using higher resolutions for gaming than that for over 10 years now.

@Hickeroar I can easily run 1920×1080 but during those big fights my fps goes down and fast and lower resolution helps a LOT. It also feels pretty silly to ask something and get that kind of response tbh. I probably know my budget and I’m more than willing to give you my account number if you like to help poor students to keep playing with latest stuff.

But for real, this is the situation right now and I’m just curious to know is there any solution because every mmo so far have had something to help with this and that’s why I’m asking.

Am I missing something or is this something that might come later?
