Calma SaCow wrote:Is this something that is going to be fixed in a patch soon? it is really annoying to have to spend a couple minutes juggling resolutions before I can play. Right now I have to:
turn my display to best for retina.
then load the game
then Alt-Tab back to the display settings and turn it back to scaled "1920x1200"
Then I have to Alt-Tab back to the game . Then go into setting and change everything to match.
Then I can play.
Would be nice if I could just start with 1920x1200 with 125%UI or 2560x1600 with 150%UI
Wait, what?
If I want to play windowed, I just start up my windowed clone which opens a window at 1680x1050. If I'm in 'Best for Retina" (1440x900 equivalent), I can swap to 1920x1200 equivalent either before or after I start the client. Playing full screen at 2880x1800 seems to work starting in either resolution. In all cases, the EVE client seems to remember my scaling preference from the previous run. I would use and enjoy the ability to have multiple 'graphics modes', each with resolution, scaling, performance preference and window setups, but I wanted that under Windows as well.
My complaints at this point are:
- Windowed mode looks fuzzy, similarly to other apps that do their own font rendering instead of using the cocoa rendering engine.
- In fullscreen at 2880x1800, the star field gets a bit overwhelming and headache inducing, as others have noted.
- Performance could be better, especially given how buttery smooth Diablo3 is at 2880x1800 with gfx settings turned up.
(1) is my biggest complaint since I will most likely play windowed mode most of the time. If I only had one account and/or were more of a PvE player, (2) would be really obnoxious. (3) is, well, when don't you complain about performance? |

Ok I can play with everything except AA on at full screen if I use
2556x1600 fullscreen. and 125 to 150 on the UI scale. I find this to be a good balance and For some reason it has no problem starting at this resolution. I can launch straight to it.
My only concern is that damn this thing gets hot on the bottom. But that has kinda been issues with MBP computers since the conversion to unibody. I have to say though the new A-sync fans and side vents do make a huge difference though. compared to the MBP from a couple years ago or even my 2011 MBA this thing is still very quite. Still a new guy so I have not really gotten in to any big "Fleet Fur-Balls" yet. |

I'll probably get a rMBP soon and i'm curious if it gets hot even if you play at 1440x900 and graphics adjusted for performance?
Did anyone tried running EVE in bootcamp or paralels? It gets hot as well? |

CCP Paradox wrote:We have the ability to go to 200%. But clients right now have the maximum of 150%. You need to have a vertical resolution of at least 1200 pixels. So a 16:10 widescreen display of 1920x1200 needs to be in use. I don't think Apple sell any displays that are 16:10 anymore, so you won't see that.
The OSX inherent ability for UI scaling, is adapted to their software only. 3rd parties would have to work with their retina technology to make such a change available. You can see this if you do a quick google of the macbook pro retina and google chrome. Google Chrome is blurry in comparison to Safari.
As for support, I am not sure about applications that are driven by a 3D rendering engine. Will just have to find out how EVE works on the new line of MBP's when we can.
I've only had my new retina MBP for a few hours but the first thing I did was install EVE on it. It really needs a scale option of 200%. The highest available in the settings is 150%. Stuff is readable at 150% scale but window headings and tabs are way too small. Lots of buttons and list items are big enough so think about increasing the size of these UI elements in proportion to the rest.
Also note that the mouse pointers do not scale at all right now and they are positively minuscule on the 2880x1800 screen. |

Been playing for a few weeks on a maxed out retina mbp. Game looks gorgeous but yeah 200% UI scaling is necessary as the text is still too small at 150%. I can't comment too much on performance as I am having horrible issues with the mac client at times. It certainly drops fps to the 20's in station but is smooth in space 30's unless I zoom in and then it will drop some more.
Will post on the mac client thread about my woes and if people are interested can give more information on the game and the computer. |

Someone asked about Parallels on rMBP...
No luck here. I did just upgrade to the latest Parallels, and after doing so I saw a post on a Parallels support forum that hints pretty strongly that the latest update broke EVE/Parallels. I did not, however, fiddle around with resolution, full/windowed modes, etc. Basically, I started it up, but a big black window, and said to heck with it. Might try again after a while... if someone else posts success.
For now, just trying it out in windowed mode and a little bit of full screen at a reduced resolution of 1600x900 (Thunderbolt display's lowest rez option). Definitely looking forward to fiddling around with the UI a bit and finding out what it can do at higher settings though... |

I make a seperate post but I think I may get a quicker answer here.
I have just received my rMBP and am delighted except I cannot get the thing to play on 2880.
I can play on the lower resolutions but only windowed. I will probably play like this anyway as performance is more important in PvP but always want to see how superb the screen can render.
Anyone that can help with the setups I would appreciate some help as I prefer not to learn mistakes that have been learnt already.
Cheers in advance.
