Font looking bad in windowed mode

[scifo76]

Hey guys,

When I run the game in windowed mode, I get these crunched text rows here and there on the screen. Any ideas how to solve this?

My eqclient file has these video settings:
[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1080
Width=1920
Height=1080
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1920
HeightWindowed=1080

Because windowed mode is larger than the monitor size (you can see it overhang to a second monitor or off the screen because of the title bar) you have to make it a little smaller to fix this text bug. Play around with it a little to fit your preference but something like WindowedWidth=1900 WindowedHeight=1060 will fix it. As long as it all fits on the screen the text bug will be fixed.

Warning - Your UI is tied to the resolution so it will be reset to default.

I will try this - thanx!

Meaning that I will have to do this eqclient edit every time I launch the game?

No, the ini edit is permanent. Once you do that edit all your chat boxes reset to the default location so you have to move all the boxes to where you want them along with spell gems/target window etc. After that everything functions normally.
