PS4 text size

[Stuke00]

We apologize for the frustration regarding the updated display settings on PS4. We'd like to share an update from User Interface Lead Minagawa on the issue, the team's plans to address the issue, and measures you can currently take.

Please please also make this change available for PC users who play on a TV. I've had this problem forever. Thank you!

The mouse mode trick works, but one you click the R2 button to grab the dialogue box, you cannot release it while you navigate the menu. You have have it continually pressed down. It's weird, but I was able to keep everything at the 100% mark while blowing up the dialogue box to a comfortable 140%.

Currently, we're looking into measures to be able to display the same UI size as before as quickly as possible.

Thank you.

The issue with this setting is that the name plates will also be displayed at the 150% size. As mentioned earlier, we're currently looking into measures to address this issue, so we ask for your patience.

That's only one of the issues with that setting. It's not just the name plates that end up huge. It's everything. You have to completely redo your entire HUD if you change that. (And then presumably redo it yet again once the issue is fixed.) The name plates just stand out as the worst of the problem because it's something you cannot adjust back down through HUD Layout or a window resize.

It's why I prefer just resizing the dialog box up and putting up with the tiny main menu until the fix is in place. So suggesting that (and explaining the rather obscure way to do it) as an alternative way to address the problem in the meantime might have been useful.

It seems the "Scale Window" option on the dialog box only works for the duration of one login session. Please save that info with the rest of our HUD settings so we don't have to re-do it every time we log in.


Besides the dialog box and main menu, notification text (like retainer sales or gathering results) that shows up in the center of the screen is also much smaller than before. Personally, I rather like that part of the change, since it was rather large and in the way before, but there's probably people who don't. Now if only we could control its placement and get it off the center of the screen...

This. So much. I've actually got the UI looking pretty close to what it was, except the dialog box and options menu. The only one that bothers me really is the dialog box, having to reset it every time. Plus finding an NPC that talks long enough to change the settings.

Just bring back the 'Full-HD' option, it was good. I never understand why devs do changes that mess up stuff even more. smh.

For those having trouble with the simulated right click be sure to be talking with a npc. For some reason you can't access the right click menù if you're into a cutscene of a main quest

Well, there was my problem.

Sounds like nobody bothered to beta test the PS4 version. That's the only explanation how something like this got past QA.

[Onestepfromlost]

Yeah having the scale window settings for each window carry over each log in would be a start, its a temporary work around for the moment at best, annoying having to do it every log in. I hope this is fixed soon, Someone in the QA team really dropped the ball, did literally no-one test it on a standard ps4?

Ok got a sort of workaround theres a couple of steps to add in to make the above suggestion work. with your current preferred hud layout. go to System > Hud layout. Then go the little settings icon and copy your preferred hud like 1 to say 4 as a default baseline for how you have it set ( this might not help if you use 4 differnt huds for stuff. so now 1 and 4 should be the same, now make sure you are on hud 1. go and do the above System config > user inteface size 100%. NOW go to default UI size and set it to 140% and apply all. this will mess up your HUD. but if you go back to hud layout and go to HUD 4 it should go back to your preferred settings now just copy 4 to 1 using the setting button. The main menu will still be small but all other windows should be ok now. I think. Ive not tested if this carries over ok through logins as im scared to log out and test it due to queues right now, but i think it should work.
